    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!

    @leggy said: Could you explain the solid tools a bit more They are part of SketchUp. There's already extensive help docs under the help menu on how to use them. It's a boolean subtract method. So select the cutter then the target and click Subtract. Go make a coffee, read the news and watch the clouds for a bit. When you come back it'll be done.

    Slicer5 - Object is not manifold solid

    Your model is not a manifold solid. Change the way you view it to help yourself. View > Hidden Geometry > On - you'll see lots of stuff that was hidden or smoothed. That doesn't improve solidity tests. View Mode > MonoChrome to remove confusion of a textured surface. There are several 'flaps' and edges with only one face - every edge must have exactly one face. Manually fix these errors and the object should then report as a Solid in Entity info. To help identify the problem geometry I suggest you use Thomthom's SolidInspector2... and then doing a manual fix by editing it. Using a Style with distinctive profiles and endpoints might help. Also Xray mode would let you see what's a problem 'internally'... My Solidsolver fails to mend it at all. Fixit101 fixes somethings but then leaves it not solid ! PS: Delete the unwanted 'Sumele' figure as that doesn't help anything...

    Hi Tig, thanks for your great help got almost everything to work again. I can't see an equivalent for Xray mode... "Sketchup.send_action 10513" works just fine one command resists : Old cmd = UI::Command.new("Layers") { Sketchup.send_action 21354 } cmd.large_icon = "CD_ICONS/STANDARD/layers_lg.png" cmd.small_icon = "CD_ICONS/STANDARD/layers_sm.png" cmd.tooltip = cmd.status_bar_text = "Show Layers Palette" gp_cd_standard_tb.add_item(cmd) New cmd = UI::Command.new("Layers") { Sketchup.send_action 21032 } cmd.large_icon = "CD_ICONS/STANDARD/layers_lg.png" cmd.small_icon = "CD_ICONS/STANDARD/layers_sm.png" cmd.tooltip = cmd.status_bar_text = "Show Layers Palette" gp_cd_standard_tb.add_item(cmd) thanks again - Uli

    You're welcome. I found this video from Tutorials Up for some different methods to create a sidewalk on terrain. The last one looks interesting. Haven't tried any of these yet. You'll have to watch it on Youtube since they don't allow any embedding for their channel. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XJ5moezcj58

    Thanks Box! I've got it sorted. I appreciate your time in walking me through the process. A few more questions for you. First, do you know if CNC milling machines can reset dimensions in the same way you've described for .stl printing files? I'm not sure what's required at the machine, but fabrication companies ask me for a .step or .iges which I generate from my .stl files with FreeCAD. Perhaps there's a better way to do this? Second, in order to create the stop chamfer on the edges of the model where there is a radius transitioning into a perpendicular surface (ball-end mill). I have been manipulating a 45 degree face with a radial bending tool to pull off the edge at a point. Then deleting everything except for one welded line as the desired path. Followed by recreating a triangular shape and running the follow me tool. Finally subtracting the solid chamfer shape from the solid body. Is there a better way to do this? Thanks again for all your help. Stefan Mortveit

    To make the R segment follow a curve in the Z plane, you can use the Follow Me tool in SketchUp. Here's how: Draw a line from point A to point P to create segment R. Draw a curve in the Z plane (curve H) that the R segment should follow. Use the Follow Me tool by selecting the R segment and clicking the Follow Me button in the toolbar. Click on the H curve so that the R segment follows the curve. Once the R segment follows the curve, use the Face Intersect tool to create a clear intersection between the R segment and the curve. Using the Follow Me tool, you can make the R segment follow any path or curve in the Z plane. Follow Me Tool Examples in SketchUp - The SketchUp Essentials #39 regards web designer WorkTime company

    @tig said: You need to do Extension Warehouse licensing through SketchUp. But for SketchUcation Licensing you can manage [release/activate] your licenses with the dialog that opens from the MyLicenses item in the Extensions > SketchUcation submenu You need the latest version of SketchUcation tools and the extensions/libs etc installing beforehand and restart SketchUp to sync thing, before trying to do any license management. Splendid, thank you very much TIG. In this case there is a huge advantage, I see using SketchUcation resources over Extension Warehouse. I thought only a few extensions could be unlicencing via Sketchucation Tool as suggested. Once more many thanks TIG
