    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!

    Alternatively - if you don't want to color everything by layer [i.e. only some objects to get their layer's color], then you can use Ruby to get the layer of the selected object[s] and then get the layer.color, from that you can make a new material [named after the layer] using that color's RGB specification, and apply that new material onto the selected object[s]. By naming the material after the layer you can test if that material has been made previously, and reuse the existing material, rather than make a new material every time... I that's the requirement then I can easily post a code-snippet to do this...

    @cuttingedge said: I have 3 cylinders , a cube and a 2 spheres which i want to perfectly align along the blue axis. I know the best way to do it is put the axis of each in the center then align them. Is there a plug in that does that in one click. I just cant snap to the axes to align manually. You don't need a plugin to place the axes at the center of components. Use Change axes from the Context menu. If you are going to use these shapes in future models, it makes sense to put the origin in a logical place to make insertion easy. Sam's plugin is handy but you really ought to know how to set up components so they'll be easy to align in models.

    also take a look at "connect" tool from thomthom's quadface tools.. that gives you greater control on number/pinching/cornering of loops/topology!

    The problem I have with the added reference points is that they are visually confusing, sometimes the proximity of an inference point and the end point I want to draw from is so close they are indistuishable, this leads to wasted time when I have to correct the bloomin' thing.

    "why buying a lame/old graphics card today? if disabling "Window > Preferences > OpenGL > Use Hardware Acceleration" fixes the problem, the OGL support of the used video driver and/or the OGL performance of the used GPU is flaky. Drop the card and buy something capable as e.g. a GTX 960 (or better) ...besides the case is to small or the PSU to weak." I'm not the IT guy at work. The IT department purchases and installs hardware. I'm no expert on computers or graphics cards. What do you mean "the case is too small or the PSU too weak"?
