    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!

    Hi Dave, It wouldn't surprise me, as I mentioned, this model has been a WIP for the past 3-4 years. I think back then I broke my own rule of keeping it simple, I might investigate further this weekend. Unfortunately, I have too much time invested in this model to start all over, as much as I would like to. Thanks for help Dave, very much appreciated. Stan

    It's best to just model it. I would never use displacement in this manner. There are plug-ins that could help with the modeling pretty quickly I bet.

    I would guess the odd behaviour is targeting only you I'm afraid. In Windows you can change the Open dialog dropdown behaviour via the Local Group Policy or the Regedit. But its so deeply buried that there's no way you managed to do so without knowing. Bizarre.

    The most efficient way is have your materials stored somewhere other than the default library location. This saves you pain if/when you upgrade to major releases. On Mac go to SketchUp > Preferences from the menu bar and set the path to where you will stored you materials. Place your materials, typically folder separated based on category/type, into that location. https://help.sketchup.com/en/sketchup/setting-software-and-file-preferences https://help.sketchup.com/en/sketchup/adding-colors-and-textures-materials#manage-material

    I tried many maps, was not convincing though. I used this one from "filter forge" worked well. It was designed for mirrors. [image: ZSYy_Mirror.jpg]

    one good thing to do: pick a single point as the base reference to all the other pillars. then provide measures relative to that point. a grid is good when you have symmetry as you can easily add the footing on-center measures on the outside of the grid lines. it will keep things neat and the contractor can easily know where place their base stake and then place the others from that point.

    Export Polygon Points to csv in correct order

    @dave r said: What is the "correct order"? How is that determined? Thanks very much Dave!!, I now realize that it is indeed a bit of a shady definition! I just meant that each polygon has a begin and an end-point and the "correct" order is getting the sequential line segments in that order. So for example for a polyline consisting of 3 line segments I would get 4 co-ordinates in order that makes up the polyline: x1,y1 start line segment a x2,y2 end line segment a, start line segment b x3,y3 end line segment b, start line segment c x4,y4 end line segment c I think this is the only way to rebuild a polyline if all you have are the co-ordinates.

    OK since this seems to be pretty easy and gives you a really good way to view a SU model, is there a way to embed this capability into PowerPoint? If so, this seems like it would be a better way that just adding your SU file to PPT because this would allow you to interact with the model and view multiple scenes during your presentation.

    Crazy problem with Right Click

    Hi, I have figured out what was causing the problem. When using Windows 11 and Chrome browser, the right-click rendered a truncated (worthless) menu. It seems MS has cleverly disabled right-clicking on any other browser EXCEPT for MS Edge. Imagine my surprise.
