    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 find that it helps to disable "super rounding at corners" and enable "respect strict offset as far as possible" in the grey settings bar at the top of your viewport when using roundcorner

    I don't know that that is true Trog... rFactor was built for a single thread, before dual or quads and the game engine is actually even older than that. They actually used the -FullProc to turn off a thread. Then it was reversed to turn on threads for the single thread software. So there could be some key to it. That's why i want to see the actual Microsoft writeup and description the actual tool and not the proprietary named command. I saw a 100% increase in FPS with it on as opposed to off. as can be seen in the following screenshots. So there definitely is something to be had in there.

    Thanks Tig, I'll try some of those tips. I always open a SU file through SU by the way UNLESS it says it's locked. If so, I then navigate to the file via Explorer, unlock it and start it from there. I do nearly always have Windows set to detail or large icon view, so perhaps I'll try different settings like you say.

    Not sure if this id relevant. But i was having the same issue, and kept getting "Invalid File" a later noticed i had the file i was trying to import referenced onto my cad file, in other words i was beings used elsewhere. Once i close the Cad file it allowed me to import the image without any issues.

    Your beam does not need to be so poly-heavy! You can achieve details like that in a render using a mix of normal/bump and displacement maps, with only enough geometry detail to define the silhouette. It doesn't matter so much for this model, maybe, but if you created an entire scene like this, I'd not be surprised if your computer gave up the ghost.

    Just a thought, but do you have any abnormally large textures that could be causing issues? Otherwise, I'd say delete things until the weirdness stops (in a backup obviously), add things back in until it starts, and try to diagnose it that way. As for why it's fine in a new model, I'd say perhaps the issue is within a group/component and doesn't kick off until it's accessed?

    As driven has said, unticking export two sided faces should handled this situation. So i did some more tests and i have found out that my problem is my sketchup, or version of sketchup. I'm using the 2014 version and no matter what i do it messes up my export file. I installed the 2105 and it works perfectly. I don't have a clue on why this happens, but at least i have found a way to solve my problem. Thank you so much for your fast replies! It helped me alot.
