    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!

    The blank thumbnail may well be caused by you saving the 'Model' component in a different view. If it's an external component and you have edited the file it may have 'Redefine the thumbnail on save' which is an option in the Model Info.

    Wow... You are right they weren't parallel, there was a 0.1mm difference. Thanks for teaching me some tricks. I am not using Sketchup the right way. Thanks!

    Double click. The bounding box should turn from solid blue to dotted grey when in edit mode.

    This might be a good suggestion to post on the SU wish list. For the stuff I do, a lot of my models end up in a printed 2D format, and I suspect this would be the case for many of us (especially architects) so it would make sense to have print quality 2D images instead of the jagged line stuff we have currently.

    Thanks to all for your assistance. Had to do a design work around due to time constraints. Will have a play with all suggestions when I get time. Interesting technique, Dave, Never would have thought of that! Cheers

    I had a GTX 660ti 3g before upgrading to a Titan, I saw no difference in SU or any other software that was not GPU dependent. I upgraded purely for GPU rendering.

    If you were to make your parking-bay as a component that glues to a horizontal surface and cuts an opening then the z-fighting of the coincident faces will be avoided as the face below it will be removed automatically as the component is relocated... However, you would need to place those component-instances again - because they only get their glued-to-face when they are initially added to the model - unless of course you install and use a plugin that can 're-glue' these un-glued selected cutting-components [my HolePunch has such a utility]. Alternatively remember that Images do not z-fight when they are placed onto a surface - so an alternative is to get a simple Image of the carpark bay, edit the original component and erase the face, and then add the image into it, scaling it to the right size, tidy up any unneeded nested faces, edges etc, and now all instances of the parking-bay component should no longer z-fight when placed directly on top of another surface...

    Sounds to me like the component might be glued to the mesh. Right click on the component, unglue.

    I think it's worth repeating that 2014 has the new version of Ruby and while that has caused a few issues with a few plugins not working, new plugins are less likely to work with the older system. No doubt more and more we will see 'Requires SU2014 and up'.
