    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 just now looked at it on my Mac with SU2015. The last set font choice is retained for each activation of the 3D Text tool and it is even retained when SU is closed/quit and restarted. It appears that an answer was found sometime between 2011 and the release of SU2015. I don't know in which version it changed. What version of SketchUp are you using? It would be helpful if you completed your profile.

    @ely862me said: Funny thing, Box's advice didn't work for me but what I said worked ! Mainly I think it is about glued or not. That must be because of cutting edge's plan VS insertion points VS axis VS face to glue on. EDIT: Sometimes the components are just slightly off face. In these cases they might still glue to face and cut opening but Sketchup will start asking if you want to fix the model. It says it fixes but it doesn't and keeps going on like this... Everything will work ok but section cut faces won't be perfect... You can just ignore warnings in model info.

    @tig said: What units did you use for the DWG import ? Using the incorrect options setting can exacerbate the tiny geometry issue... Alternatively importing a mm DWG as if it were meters will make the facets x1000 bigger and likely avoid disaster. When it's in OK, you can [re]orient the faces consistently outwards, and finally Scale down in 2 steps - 0.1 and 0.01 to achieve the 1\1000 th reduction... The units are in mm, I did makes sure the import happens with correct scale and I did cross checked the measurements and they are correct, both in AutoCAD and in Sketchup. But I will give it a shot by increasing the scale to see if I can avoid that. Thank you!

    Well can you make a rectangle and pushpull it and make a group, Then make the next rectangle etc. Grouping the drawn geometry as you go? The selectiontoys idea only works if you are trying to separate faces from misc. edges without faces--which I thought you meant.

    @sdmitch said: @littleche said: yes! How did you do? There is a "bug" in the current version that is prone to have this error when 45 rotation is used. It doesn't always fail. I'm hoping to corrected and updated version soon. thanks sdmitch . You and other SU plug-in developers Are very, very dear For me and other Members sketch up . I wish you all good luck ... thanks again ...

    Kristina, your image doesn't show because it is linked to your computer. You need to either upload it here or to an online photo album first.

    Seems to be a saving to network thing. Exporting to my desktop worked. Hmmm. Simlab worked because it saves the maps to a location in your plugins folder. The other nice thing about Simlab is that when you import the FBX, each object is its own in MAX and not a single group with a multisub material applied. Not sure of the advantage/disadvantage though. Just testing a SU to Max workflow that would allow for a linked file.

    ~~ @rich o brien said: @dave use the beta forum to log snags but there's been a change in scene mode. in SU if you have a scene with camera location set to NOT SAVE then in EDG3D that scene is a free rotate mode. most of your other points will need chatting elsewhere Please delete my prior post. I also just saw the post from Gabor and just downloaded the plugin again and am trying again. Did not notice that this was not the beta forum. Please delete this and my prior post and I will readdress on the beta forum.~~ My apology. My original posts were incorrect and in the wrong forum.

    if your maintenance is running you should have received already your SUP 2015 license data by your supplier approx. in November 2014. Be aware, that license data of older SUP versions as e.g. your SUP 2014 won't work with the recent SUP 2015. if you do have the SUP 2015 license data and don't wanna user the SUP 2014 version further, remove the license data in SUP 2014 via "Help > License" and enter your SUP 2015 license data either in the splash dialog resp. "Help > License" at the new system. An active internet connection and a LAN adapter as well as a working MS Internet Explorer v9+ resp. Apple Safari is required for doing this. hth

    Toolbars Not stacking 2015

    It may not work the way you'd like it to but it isn't a bug. It's the way the toolbar manager was designed to work. While it might be more convenient to be able to make multi-column toolbars, the benefits of this toolbar manager over the old one make this a very tiny inconvenience. The major benefit of this new toolbar manager is that it prevents the toolbar scramble that was prevalent in SU8 and before. Try making the SU8 window smaller and then drag it out larger again. Do that in SU2015. Big difference. You can also customize the native toolbars and make your own. I've omitted Dimensions and other text tools along with Pan and Orbit from mine giving me more real estate for other tools.

    Smooth/Soft edges gives a rounded appearance between two facets - typically used when the facets form a 'surface'. Hidden edges are not displayed - the junction between two facets is sharp. Having View > Hidden-Geometry ON lets you see such edges as dotted line styles, You can apply these properties to selected edges, but if you want all of the edges in the model to be unseen. then it's easy - make/use a style which has the edges option unchecked. EDIT: Dave beat me to the line ! Your working style will need edges showing to let you draw and edit things but your animation scene-tabs can use the edgeless style...
