    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'm having a similar issue. I've been working on four individual SU files. They're all saved locally, in the same folder. Three of them work fine; the fourth, however, has been behaving basically as roland described above. The original file won't save, and it keeps creating backups in numbered sequence. The other three files don't do this, just the fourth. Anyone have any ideas why this would be happening to one file in particular? It's not much different than the other three. In fact, all four are essentially the same model with just about the same file size. Thanks for any help!

    @pbacot said: Looks great Mike. I looked it up and ArtRage is available for Mac but OS 10.4.5? I'm running V4.5 in Yosemite: http://www.artrage.com/artrage-4/free-update/ Scroll to the bottom: Mac OS X: 10.6 or later, Intel Mac required. 32 or 64 bit I really like combining LayOut and ArtRage or Pixelmator... of course, I could spend all day doing this... which is bad for other work I need to be doing.

    Thanks guys. Actually, with little information on the subject, I decided in the end to import from Zbrush. having the hands sculpted for the product ended up being much more realistic in the end (I think anyway). And, though still curious... it is not pressing as it was. So, again... thank you.

    Problem with solid tools subtract

    @dude8604 said: Thanks for your replies. S Shepherd, it didn't seem to work. Also the file you attached won't open in Sketchup 2014. Is it possible that solid tools have been fixed with Sketchup 2015? I saved back to version 8 and edited the post above. I'm not sure what the problem is but wonder if the scaling is a factor. Also if the cross pieces were a bit smaller or the I.D of your tube larger, the inside corner of the cutting solid wouldn't interfere with the inner wall of the straw. [image: XBc9_straw.PNG] Shep

    If the tubes happen to be components, edit any instance and remove all surfaces not to be painted. Or if the surfaces to be painted have a unique texture applied, then that could be used in the search to select only those faces.

    I had this issue - Sketchup Pro 2015, on the mac. I explicitly set model info to a new keyboard shortcut, and the issue went away.

    You need to change the association for the KML and KMZ file types to Google Earth. You might have a look at Photoshop's list of file types it is set to open by default. It maybe there are other file types set that you would rather use a different application with.

    It would certainly be helpful is susan would post at least an example image of what she's after. Perhaps I misinterpreted the term "umbrella group" to mean a parent group containing the child groups as in my second screen shot. You are right that in most cases, I think it would be desirable to create the edges from intersection in the context of one group or the other.

    @cotty said: Make sure you've downloaded Make and not Pro. Make install -> 30 days PRO trial -> Make PRO install -> 30 days PRO trial -> PRO (don't revert back to Make, you need a PRO license to continue) this is true for SU2015, it changed in recent releases

    SU and LO CPU vs GPU usage (for documents in LO)

    I opted for the 15" MacBook Pro and am very happy thus far. A complex remodel project that I'm doing construction docs for is moving along without stressing the new machine like it did my old one (I have them sitting side by side...) Not the ideal workhorse for some folks - but as I'm mobile its a good choice for me. I've been using the activity monitor - I can see CPU load but not GPU load, but can check that the discreet card is in play whenever I have this file open. Will do some comparisons on a series of shadow studies I did earlier in the year to see how it handles that.

    @gaieus said: I do not often use this export option but it seems to export vector based data which does not contain shadows. May I assume that if you have pdf export options, you also have SU Pro? In this case, you could send your model to LayOut and export from there in hybrid mode which will make your edges vectors but materials (and shadows) remain raster so you get the "best of both". Thank you for this suggestion. Yes, one does get the "best of both".
