    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!

    Maybe you need to make a board the same way a tree would and then carve out a sphere. Will a texture suffice or are you going to actually have to create the surface irregularities? If it's the latter, SketchUp is probably not the right tool for the job.

    There's a features request forum here on SCF. You could start there. FWIW, I prefer the behavior of adding layers as it is so if they make a change, I hope it is a user-selectable option. Of course I guess they say that's why they opened up the API to allow users to write plugins/extensions to add features. I hope you find the plugin helpful.

    If your model is very large and/or you are drawing something very far from the model origin, you can get effects like that when SketchUp and the OpenGL hardware can't track locations consistently with each other due to computer arithmetic limitations.

    @baggins said: must be a criminal mind at work when it comes to where the mystical "plug in" folder is lurking--i have looked in evry nook and cranny on my hd--nada--zip--kudos folks for creating the most obfuscating piece of ******* every conceived Evidently you didn't look in "every nook and cranny" because it is there. And you didn't read this thread before posting in it because it has been explained, above. On the PC, it is under your username/App Data/Roaming/SketchUp/SketchUp 2016/SketchUp/Plugins. It is located there because Windows set security so users can't install files in directories in Program Files and way too many users weren't able to figure out how to change permissions. The "criminal mind" as you call it also made it so that you shouldn't need to access the Plugins folder directly by offering the Install Extension tool as well as the extension Warehouse. And for extensions available here on Sketchucation, there is the Plugin Store tool which, like Extension Warehouse installed extensions/plugins automatically.

    Have you tried logging in ? It's usually a one time only requirement. Use your SketchUcation membership name and password. Once you have done it, then you should never get prompted again ?

    @TIG, I did ask that at the start but overlooked the reply... @filippobasso said: About OSX install, I've a normal "File System Personality: Case-sensitive Journaled HFS+" OSX install, yes @Filippo, this is not a normal OSX install, and many apps will run into problems, not just SU... I believe OS X server and iOS are [Case-sensitive], but OS X became 'Case Preserving' in its standard releases... there are are few threads with reply from SketchUp staff discussing the known problems you will have... your second mac must have the 'standard' journalling if it works... john

    Well, I hope you're right and it doesn't happen again. That Ctrl X would cut the selection to the clipboard where it would still be available to paste until you hit Ctrl C or quit SketchUp. Still, it's worth paying close attention. Good luck.

    TIG, that sounds like a the type of solution I would be looking for, although I was hoping there was an existing plugin that does something similar It does seem like good practice for some scripting though, so I will definitely give it a shot in the coming 2-3 weeks (I am pretty basic at scripting as well, so it will take me quite a bit of time)! Pilou, I am not sure I understand. My problem would be that I would not only have to apply each of the 200 different textures (not repeated as in my example screenshots), but also adjust them to fit perfectly within the hexagons. Could ThruPaint help with that as well? From what I gather from the descriptions I read, it doesnt really have functionality for this purpose?

    Matt, sorry for not replying till now. No, I don't think the naming would be an issue, just that the Xref itself may be a problem.
