    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!

    Guess what: that's not the entire ship. As said, that file is just the part isolated. The file size is because of those textures [EDIT] Yeah, it's the texture's fault. I resized it to 25% of it's original size and now it shows up just fine. I didn't know there was a max texture size that Kerkythea could handle

    Yes this has been around since the @last days. I only come across it when I've inserted a siteplan or similar from AutoCad. It used to be reported as a bug a lot, but I guess it's been grandfathered in as something that can't be fixed? Or maybe it just keeps being put on the "next time" list.

    sketch3d.de, the impression I got was that we couldn't use the old network license together with the new stand-alone licenses.

    Dave R Sorry about the missunderstanding. I personally don`t have Sketchup Pro and this issue is more work related (were I use Pro) than personal. Ive used the move tool a lot and didnt found it difficult to use, but also found the locking Z axis trick. The difference is quite noticeable, especially when time, speed and accuracy are crucial. Thank you very much for your answers! cotty I know that method but Im afraid that it would not help me much, only if I can change the attributes for multiple selected components (wich I quess doesnt work). If not, it`s not worth the effort, in comparison with the move tool option. Thanks for the answer.

    The only legitimate source for SketchUp no matter what version and the link you referenced earlier shows the only versions they are making available. If you have the original file downloaded and you are worried about needing to reinstall it, you ought to save a copy of the file somewhere safe.

    In my practice as an architect I have replaced AutoCad completely with Sketchup Pro and Layout years ago. Now my pc is getting an upgrade. This is what I will keep: Storage: Samsung HD 1035SJ ATA Device 1TB SSD-storage: Samsung SSD 850 Pro 256 GB ATA Device Windows 7 Professional New: CPU: Intel Core i7-4790K Boxed Motherboard: Asus Republic Of Gamers Z97 MAXIMUS VII GENE Video Card: GeForce GTX 980 4GB Memory: Crucial Ballistix Tactical BLT2C8G3D1608ET3LX0CEU (2* 8gb = 16gb) The budget must stay realistic. Thanks a lot for any thoughts or recomendations.

    Same happens to me. I click it until it lets me open it. Usually about three times. As for the recursively creating skb files, I have found out that SUSOLIDS makes it worse. After I removed the plugin that didn't happened that much.

    I expect you'll find that people do different things but for standard types of construction, I don't think it makes a whole lot of sense to draw entire structures with all that detail. Nick uses "canned" representative illustrations for those sorts of things. You should consider the time you'd have invested in placing all those entities and the return on that investment.

    Sure. I messed about in terminal but couldn't get it to work so I downloaded this tiny service app: 1 - Download SymbolicLinker: http://seiryu.home.comcast.net/~seiryu/symboliclinker.html 2 - Mount the dmg file and copy the .services file into your (Mac HD)/Library/Services (if its not there add it) 3 - Open the SymbolicLinker.services file from the folder you just copied it into 4 - Navigate to your server or dropbox or second hard drive - wherever you store your materials collection 5 - right click on your materials folder and at the bottom there will be a new option saying "create symbolic link" 6 - now select the new symbolic link it just made and copy it 7 - Navigate into your sketchup folders ~/Library/Application Support/SketchUp 2015/SketchUp/ if you can't see it use; finder->go->go to folder and copy that in and press enter 8 - delete the sketchup materials folder (OR RENAME IF YOU WANT TO KEEP THE DEFAULT MATERIALS) - I've already collected these into my custom folder anyway so I just deleted them. 9 - paste (your symbolic link) and rename to "Materials" All Done! Can do the same for style and components, you can also use these instructions to store other folders on a second drive if you use an SSD.

    Sorry it's taken so long to thank you, John, for your input. I have not followed our proposals - yet - but I have noted what you have said and will in future if I need to input a jpg file. Thanks again and to all who contributed.

    Well, I've found a solution (hopefully). It's the one I was hoping to avoid. Tomorrow I will receive a new SSD from Amazon, a Samsung 850 Pro 256GB. I'm hoping that installing everything from scratch will make everything all better. I just can't understand why my backup computer and my laptop, neither of which have the 2015 update installed, have not experienced any problems. Anyhow, tomorrow the fun begins . I'll post the results here on the off-chance that anybody cares
