    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!

    Ok, I see what's happening. I cannot edit the library of materials. That's the way it should be. I am able to edit any materials that are used in the model, which is also the way it should be. All is well! Thanks.

    You could also go on to Layout and have more control over .dwg export, and less control... but you could use the layers there. Kenny's method is better...

    @box said: There are many ways, but you might need to be more specific about what you need. Rich's tutorial on the very basics may be enough to get you going. http://sketchucation.com/resources/tutorials/beginner/24-how-to-make-a-spiral-stair Then again you could make the stairs straight and use shape bender to curve it. http://sketchucation.com/pluginstore?pln=clf_shape_bender_v055 Or have a go with one of the Stair Maker plugins http://sketchucation.com/pluginstore?pln=gkware_stairmaker http://sketchucation.com/pluginstore?pln=Stair_Maker and a simple one using Fredo's Radial Bend, part of Fredo Scale. Thanks BOX All of them are usefull to me

    Revit to Sketchup Workflow...

    I am using a RevitLT / SketchUp workflow. I've tried all manner of programs and in the end settled on RevitLT. The documentation is what sells it for me - grids, schedules, tags for windows and doors, etc. That being said, nothing rivals SkecthUp for the 3D modeling of odd stuff and all the possibilities of presentation. I model everything I can in RevitLT and export the file as an acis solid dwg. This imports into SketchUp without any problems with all the Revit objects becoming components or groups. What doesn't happen is the importing of the textures. I do the texture application in SketchUp. This isn't as onerous as it sounds. I use Simlab for 3D pdfs from SketchUp and find it quite useful. I can't use the Revit plugin as LT doesn't support plugins so I can't comment on that. Not a perfect workflow but pretty good. KrisM

    Does it look the same if you use layers for the control of the visibility?

    Thanks for the explanation. I did wonder what it is you are drawing. I'd never have guessed it was for a musical instrument. Cheers.
