    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!

    I often try to use Extrude Edges by Vector before other tools. This should have been a standard SU tool. It's push-pull for edges.

    Another CadMouse user here. This mouse is quite different. Definitely large but that suits my hand size. Definitely heavy which funnily enough I have grown to really like. When I use a different mouse now, they all fell cheap and flimsy. The middle mouse button is great but I mostly use in in a web browser where the middle mouse brings up a link in a new tab. This is great. This mouse comes with a cord, not sure why they did this. The only real downside is the cost. I guess this illustrates my current motto - Cry once, be happy thereafter.

    @aureus said: @mac1 said: Making assumptions is a basic voliation of general approaches to trouble shooting. Cheap philosophy is of no help here. It won't make any serious contribution to this thread. Trouble shooting to help NSA and DOD that was a theme always in our minds and you see that same from folks from the FAA during accident investigations. I do not think they think it is cheap approach and we all have a tendency to fall in that trap that can lead one astray. So it is best to not make statements like made here in.

    Please clarify what you mean: a hierarchy of what? One possible answer is to nest Groups or Components inside each other (which creates a "contained in" or "part of" hierarchy). Is that what you mean?

    [image: a3Zt_divide.PNG]Ok, so for those who need to do this in the future, my best solution is as such. Install two extension. 1 = 1001 points 2 = CLF Vertical Line tool Use 1001 points to divide edge by a given length. It will place a construction point at those division. Then, use CLF line tool and define line height and pick the construction points as you go around. This is the fastest I could do it. 1 floor took about 5 minutes. Not bad.

    Yep, I use inferencing a lot. Do not use the locking mechanism other than moving though. Will practice it more though. I appreciate your information though. I promise I will use it more often.

    I think the best way would be to double click the component several times until you have selected the faces you want to paint. With this you have been able to edit the component. That is the context you want to apply the new material, applying it to the faces inside the component instead painting the component. The difference is that when you paint a component, only the faces that inside the component AND have no material assigned, receive the new material. All faces inside the component that have a material directly assigned, will ignore the component's material as box described.
