    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!

    Some plugins are helper files used by others so you need to be a bit aware of what you are actually removing. If you use the uninstall feature of Sketchucation tools it renames the files to .rbx therefore disabling them. Like most things computer related it helps to keep things around until you are sure they aren't needed. You'll know at the next startup if anything really obvious needs to be reinstalled, but there may be other error that won't show until you actually try to use a plugin that needs a specific helper file. Eventually you could remove all .rbx files if you really need the space. Tig could give you much more info on this. I'd guess the other plugin folder has been created by a Renderer or some such plugin that installs from an exe file. What are the plugins in it? Easiest way to check if you can move the file to your main one is, Copy the files to the main plugins and rename the superfluous folder so it won't be recognised. Open SU and see if the three plugins function, if they do problem solved. The @Last Shapes plugin is very old and doesn't work with 2014, there is a second newer version available in the Pluginstore and the Extension warehouse. http://sketchucation.com/pluginstore?pln=jwm_shapes

    Thanks for the responses. I've use all methods listed other than the boolean. Seems like the suggestion of making a component for reuse is a good idea. Can't believe I never thought of it. Thanks

    SketchUp has known issues when plugins use certain techniques such as view.draw_text on high dpi displays. The text (or other graphic) comes out tiny and the only way a user can enlarge it is to shift to a lower dpi display mode (which, of course, decreases the resolution of everything on the screen). Hopefully Trimble will address this someday, as it make certain plugins nearly unusable.

    First off.. Anything scaled in sketchup is going to export skewed and off.. So, always save as new and explode everything before exporting to dwg/dxf. If that doesn't work. Open it up in Revit and export it from there. Works everytime

    Thanks for the help guys, I got in to see an email from them this morning telling me that they hadn't received my email at all. Not sure where that's gone; lost in the ether of the internet somewhere.

    That's fair, it was just a bit confusing, your "Noobyness" comment suggested that you may have simply downloaded the models and therefore had no real understanding of sketchup, rather than just a gap in your knowledge.

    You won't get the horse power out of a laptop that could get from a desktop, but an ideal 3D system would be running 2x Xeon processors and the best Nvidia Quadro you can afford. You might want to make sure that your settings are optimized for 3D graphics.

    Bump. I think back to the days of model challenges for Halloween and Christmas--which I enjoyed a lot but I don't think I ever felt good enough to join in. Maybe folks would like to make some Christmas cards and share them. Maybe we'll put snow on our current clients' house models for the Holidays and share with them (though the houses will be in California).

    do you mean you wish to see two different folders at the same time? like this on a mac...[image: YSh3_2014-10-1604.03.30pm.png] also I know on mac you need to create a User path 'Components' folder for SU to auto load them... if you don't actually use Dropbox for sharing, move all the folder to the User/Components, or link the content so SU can find them. john

    Using the Upload Attachment can you upload the actual model if it isn't too big?

    Thank you all for the advice. Rich - Well, I'm always being told I'm stubborn! At last it might pay off! Nemerobis - You're probably right, but I don't want to purchase & have to learn a third program just now. I have looked at Blender too - but another (difficult) learning curve. Hellnbak - Good idea, I'll look for those programs. Personally, I like to read a manual read, hence going for the tutorial e-books. Cars are not exactly my passion but a great deal of my business is indirectly for Mercedes-Benz so it would be an advantage. PS. looking forward to seeing the moon buggy!

    @krisidious said: select that plane you created. right click on the face and choose intersect with model. this will create the slice of geometry you want. Before you do this, you should group that face and do the intersection in the context of that group. This way, you can be sure that nothing else gets affected by the intersection.
