    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!

    Sorry this has taken so long to report back. In short the answer was that I could only render reliably at 9999 x 9999 pix. I couldn't get to grips with splitting the image using camera tools. I ended up enlarging the renders in perfect resize and got pretty good results from this.

    It sounds like you got the idea now. I thought I would suggest the plug in "layers Panel" as an added tool to help organize your layers. I tend to be very selective in the add ons I use because I am essentially lazy and do not want to learn how to do to many more things, bot this one has been worth the effort. I often make many scenes with many 3d trees and bushes that I need to control visibility and this is a very handy tool for that. [image: U1LM_layers-panel.JPG] [image: a3nW_layerspanel2.JPG] paul

    @krisidious said: I could have sworn this was telling what size the images were... Sorry hellnbak... Not a problem, not at all. Heck, I read through the thread describing the thing and I thought the same thing. Very confusing.

    Unfortunately .ai file is not a support export format. Also .pdf export is only available on MAC... So it you are on a PC, then I suggest you use Slicer5 to export as .png files, then batch post-process those files in a 3rd party app to make .pdf files [several free online converters are available...]...

    Is Renderiza's rescene useful for you - http://sketchucation.com/pluginstore?pln=re_scene It's a but clunky and you might need to teach yourself on a copy of the file but it's pretty useful

    Sorry I can't be more help with the ArchiCAD to SU transfer but I do have a solution to my original post. It turns out you have to save down to SketchUp 7. We figured this out a couple weeks ago but thought I'd share and put a bookend on this one. Thanks for everyone's input.

    Tutorials - existing buildings

    Hello Emilia93 - Good question indeed. We may be able to find something for you. Yes, there are good general tutorials on Sketchup. Yes, there are accurate sources for existing old and famous buildings, too. But no, do not expect to find them combined in one. Unless you have the architect's drawings or want to go out and measure old buildings directly - after bracing yourself to a very long ladder - the only accurate sources for reproducing old famous buildings are old books with measured drawings. First - familiarize yourself with Sketchup by modelling a few simple objects well. Then - try the bigger challenge of modelling a real building after measured drawings. The fastest way forward in modelling is to sit next to someone who already knows the software well, asking her lots of questions as you model. Seasoned modelers tend to be patient by nature. So please reach out. If you absolutely cannot find anyone, combine simple video tutorials aimed at general modeling skills with trial and error and questions in forums like this. Maybe we could supply you with some titles of architectural reference books with measured drawings of existing old and famous buildings. So, what particular types of buildings are you looking for?

    @ggunn said: "I would trying clearing the IE caches/temporary internet files next." My apologies; that seems to have worked. I had cleared the history but I had not gone into internet options and dumped everything. Once I did that, geolocation started working again. Thanks! Good. Glad that took care of it. And as you've discovered, there's a difference between clearing the history and clearing the caches. @ggunn said: ...and I don't have IE at all on my Mac. No, on Mac SketchUp uses Safari. You didn't bring up Mac before and your profile indicates Windows so I didn't think it was necessary to mention Safari.
