    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!

    @fabcn said: Great tool, thanx TT! One question though: is there a way to automatically create quad faces on non-quadface planar surface (you seem to do it manually from 1:32 to 1:50). Two classical examples are: extruded plywood chair (such as in your example), or follow me road. I would like to avoid draw lines to make quad faces on the road surface or chair border. Is it possible? It could be very long process, and your tool seem to do great complicated things (likely to 3DSMax), and this simple thing seems not to exist... Maybe not that easy to program though!! Have a look at TIGs Split Tools: http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=43376 (Note this is actually 4 small scripts that need installing to make them work.)

    I put all my plugins in a common place and then tell sketchup to look there. For me to go from 7 to 8 to 2013 to 2014 to 2015 to t016 is effortless. Since I am a plugins author and want my plugins to work with all these versions I want all of this to be seamless. If you are interested in how this works then PM me.

    @srx said: You need to be more patient in reading. You missed this : @srx said: Today I found out that plugin has time limit. How to continue using it? @dimitri972 said: I fixed time expired problem. Here it is: http://www.mediafire.com/download/brjzmnqzbcv38fp/RichSectionv0.5.8FULLByDimitri.zip Author was't answering question for months. I tried to fixing expired issue and fixed. If this isn't wanting thing in this forum, you can delete my post. I don't know forum rules. I did see the link but did not understand that is was a fix for the plugin. The fix needs to be made to the version that is in the Plugin Store in SketchUcation (which is where I got the plugin). This means that everyone who downloads if from SketchUcation is getting a version that does not work. According to the info on the SketchUcation web site, it was updated 03-01 of 2015. There also is no mention of licensing, time out period, or cost for the plugin. Just trying to clarify so that others do not have the same problem although I saw that it has been downloaded over 12000 times. I would like some clarification on what is going on.

    not sure what works for extensions, certainly Sketchuaction pluginstore plugin and Extension Warehouse should do for plugins / extensions, licensing (for PAID content) is going to be your issue though... for models, etc. you can try: http://sketchucation.com/pluginstore?pln=rob_cloud

    If you want a 'crib', then why not look at my [somewhat old but still working]: http://sketchucation.com/pluginstore?pln=OBJexporter It exports the SKP's geometry, and deals with 'containers', transformations etc... There are several 'exporters' in the PluginStore which may have additional/better clues...

    For me it takes up more screen space in it pinned state and if it's not locked when the mouse moves away it rolls away till I mouse back over it. The problem for me so far is working with colors and maps and seeing the results, make changes, ect. I have to go back and rollover the area to work with the dialog box or lock it in place and have it take up screen space. For me it's about time, it was quicker before just moving my mouse and seeing what I need to see or make changes and it did not affect my screen space. I could work with it rolled up or not, I could work /render around that space no matter if its rolled up or not. I am old school Autocad DOS and still today I move faster typing/using shortcut and not so much the button menu is newer versions till I get use to the new set up and find what I like to use till the next version. I can jump in to the new version and keep working till I get time or I get use to the new changes. I guess it's my fault, I got on the post because I wanted to work on a project I needed done quickly and I just started working with it in 2016. I should have done it in 2015 where everything was already set up. I guess I need a second screen...a new graphic card to support 2 screen... a newer computer...... Thanks to all of you, I will need to read more of these post and try and understand all the changes and rework my work flow.

    For future Block that will not explode in Acad you have to go into block editor and bring up preferences and turn on the edit block check box.

    @driven said: it sound like you use 'Align Axis' which is a temporary state by design... for a post import ruby fix, you need to clarify what file types you refer to as the vary greatly... john Maybe that would explain why I haven't ever seen the axes move on their own. If I want to change a component's axes location, I use Change Axes which is not temporary.
