    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!

    @sketch3d.de said: I've made a Windows executable for saving/restoring the SU prefs (no malware, no spyware, no adware, no installation). tested w/ XP, should work w/ Vista/7 too; even though, use at own risk. Norbert Script from sketch3d.de (Norbert) looked really promissing and easy to use . Thank you. Unfortunately, no go on Windows 8.1 with Sketchup 2015 (x64) as the script opens and seem to work normally, but nothing is saved. Tried to save in 'Documents folder" to start with, then created a folder on the desktop, still no go. So unfortunately not working for me... Thank you anyway

    @mzarja said: Hello! I need an advice. I'm creating a house visualisation in SketchUp Pro. I have various components (furniture) and I need to set one colour to all of them. Is there any way of doing that without changing colour to each and every component manually, like not colouring all component faces separately? Thanks in advance! This one-liner will color ALL component instances RED. Sketchup.active_model.definitions.each{|cd| next if (cd.group?||cd.image?);cd.instances.each{|e| e.material='red'}}

    The ratchet is the pump mechanism, you turn the handle and it winds the bar up to move the piston. Rack and pinion. Another version here. http://www.bonhams.com/auctions/20933/lot/92/

    Hmmmm... It worked for me. [image: 2VKe_Screenshot-2_28_201511_55_47AM.png] I attached the SKP file. When you open it, is the image there? Can you import a different image as a Match Photo? PhotoMatch.skp

    @unknownuser said: To suggest 3 days is going to get you satisfactory results is not realistic. I guess that was a pretty accurate statement. I don't expect you had much luck with this. I certainly wouldn't expect you to. I think it is a testimony to how difficult it is to find off the shelf animation that can do anything reasonable with water. It's doesn't seem to be available.

    The clipping in sketchup is one of the most frustratingly long-standing issues around. Try switching your camera to perspective, that usually works as a quick fix.

    When you do an array of cutting components you need to watch out for copying multiples to different faces. A couple of instances of the same component tend not to cut when placed on different faces, whereas an array of one instance will pretty much cut anything it hits. Here you see an array of 7 cuts even when it only hits the corner of the building, but array more than one to different faces and it fails to cut. There is a specific rule about what works and what doesn't but I can't put my finger on it right now. [image: biNw_CutArray.gif]

    pbacot, I use Podium for rendering. I will have to jump over there and see if I can find a way to do what you are suggesting. I should have thought to look at my render program for a process. Thanks

    So, five years later, SU's handling of toolbars still sucks. What exactly is it we're paying for if the devs ignore user issues with the most basic functionality?

    In vanilla sketchup: -You can create a face in the correct orientation, texture that, set the texture to "projected", and use the texture from that to paint your model with plugins: -Pixero's UV Projection plugin might help you out here, it will speed up the approach I described for vanilla -Marginal's UV editor could also work nicely, albeit with a little more effort -I haven't used ThomThom's UV toolkit, but I believe it could present a solution of some description
