    BlenderGIS can get you pretty good images.. you do need an API key to get set up but it's all free and you can even generate 3d geometry based on the elevations in the satellite images.. it tiles in blender so you the more you zoom the better the image quality to a point.

    Hey Mike, I'm sure you figured this out already, but when you first create the attribute type a number with the inch mark like 0" or 0' in the value box and hit enter. This will set the unit for that attribute to inches. This only works for the first time a value is entered. After that first initial value, you will need to use the attribute info dialog to make changes. In addition, you can use 0 to set it to text (not "Default: Text") and 0cm to set it to centimeters. If anyone knows a shortcut for setting the unit to Decimal Number, I would love to hear it!

    @vigy said: Well, you have to agree that the text and dimension preference are very poor in SU, hope they will improve. I wouldn't hold my breath on that. Historically, since the introduction of LayOut, the improvements in dimensioning as well as text and labels have all come in LayOut. SketchUp's Dimension and Text tools haven't changed at least as long as I've been using SketchUp starting with V3.

    @tig said: Why not make two Styles - one with Color by Layer set and the other with Color by Material set. Set up two Scene Tabs, each using one of those Styles. You can remove all other changeable properties from each of those Tabs, so that only the 'Coloring' changes with the Tab. Then simply toggling between the two Tabs changes the 'Coloring'. thank you~ ! this ways is more than speed my work

    For anyone that is having this issue: Trimble team has responded to me that it is a known problem and it is on the list of things to be addressed. A work around I have found is as follows. After opening the file you intend to work on, open a second new session. Do not save the new session. If you want to work with a dynamic component, insert it into the unsaved file, make your adjustments, and copy/paste it into the model you are actually working on. Just leave that unsaved file open and do not save it and you can continue to use it for dc adjustments. Pain in the behind, but at least I can keep functioning while waiting for a real solution. I use dynamic windows in all my home models so I can't live without this feature. paul.

    Glad it helped. As long as you keep edges and faces on Layer 0 throughout your models, you'll find things much easier. Cheers, d

    @bebelamoraes said: I can't find much logic in it... the 64-Bit OpenGL stack of the used video driver is faulty, therefore using the 32-Bit version of SU and its 32-Bit OpenGL API calls helps. If ever buying something new, go for a dedicated nVidia GeForce GTX series.

    Jaguarrh, As an alternative to Procad who seem to just provide a basics course, sketchuptraining.com.au do a couple of more advanced courses; one that covers Visualisation/rendering with Sketchup and a course for producing technical drawings with Sketchup and Layout. The courses focus mostly on architecture and building design but they do cover terrain modelling as well as the use of advanced plugins to extend Sketchup's capabilities. They seem to specialise only in Sketchup unlike the others you mention and if you look at the gallery on the website or follow the link to the Facebook page, they have some very impressive examples. It says that courses are held once or twice a year in Perth, Adelaide, Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane. Worth a look... Grice

    If it is already colored you can actually edit the color in the materials list and change it. Yes I know, the color gray is now yellow or something like that. [image: wHus_changecolor.png]

    Hello: Look in Sketchucation Plugin Store for "Flattery" by Pumpkin Pirate. The description seems to fit your need. Otherwise, a related possibility in the 3d printing Category search list. The 3d printing Category list is fairly short, but one of the titles seems to fit your request.

    If you have to make a lot of revisions, it's generally best to keep the line styles as simple as you can.

    I started using SketchUp in 2001 or 2002 when I went to a ten week course in SketchUp and AutoCAD. I did all the beginner errors but slowly built my knowledge of the program. It's mostly been a pleasant journey but I still think it should have been developed more into a professional tool but I won't go into that here...

    I tried that same beam connection skp and got 56k too, so my other elevation file must have more 'data' on it.

    Do you think he is being truthful or not? By showing your version of the picture we respond to your vision of the story. Does his version hold any ground? Doing what Baz said could either ruin his carreer from the start if he is starting. This kind of delays are typical from someone starting on his line of business, or typical of someone trying to con you. They could also be related to many other things... What do you think it's happening? Going social will probably cause great havok to him, but it could also turn against yourself. Could you show up at his place of work and try seeing his work? If so, I would do what Paul Russam suggests, as I believe your entitled to, but I would also try solving this face to face, giving him one last chance for redemption. But I know nothing more...
