    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.

    @zergone said: Hello, I would like to do the following: • Read CSV file containing height and width of the object (depth is optional or same for all) • Create 3D object (1 per row of CSV file) • Export as Collada file I guess it would be achievable since I have similar workflow to create images/textures in Pyhton. It is obvious I don't know Ruby. Are there any extensions that I could use? Thank you. I think I have a plugin that will do this for you but would like to test it with your data first so post or PM me the CSV file.

It freezes up at least 3 times a day. probably an incompatible plugin/extension copied from an ol' SU version... disable all plugins and try to reproduce the crashes: @unknownuser said: Sketchup.plugins_disabled=true enabling again with "...=false", checking with: @unknownuser said: is_disabled = Sketchup.plugins_disabled? restart SU for taking the disabling/enabling into effect.

    Kerkythea can do clay renders. I expect almost any rendering app can do them. When I read chalk, I think of this sort of thing. [image: https://farm9.staticflickr.com/8210/8160873898_89b72a70d0.jpg]

    Yes, there have been a lot of under-the-hood improvements that might not be so obvious to the user but they should make it possible for more noticeable feature upgrades in subsequent versions. There have been major improvements in LayOut, too. As for when SU2015 will come, it's anyone's guess but based on SU2014, it would be reasonable to expect the next version to come in the first quarter of 2015 or so.

    @scostumatu said: never mind - figured it out... i had to de select the forground option in the styles menu under match photo... it was making it lag That seems to solve the problem of the unbearable slowness. It appears it is a bug then, cause in previous versions - sketchup 8 - that problem didn't exist. You could freely work with the forground option on and with transparencies both of the model and of the photomatched photo. Anyone aware of this bug?

    @pbacot said: Thanks! That would be nice. How about is there a way to make custom hatches if you don't own AutoCAD? Your list in the post says "build your own from scratch", so I suppose it is somehow supported within the plugin and SketchUp. The net is full of pat files that you can use. In version 1.0 you can edit the size, line color, fill color and lineweight. A full pat builder will come in version 1.1 (free update) The Skalp Team

    It could be that the axis tool is resetting itself back to the default every time the auto-save kicks in (which might make it seem like the axis changing locations from toggling the perspective).

    @jfraser83 said: Im wondering if there is a plugin/tool that allows me to extrude a contoured (non flat) face from a terrain. Currently I am using a line extrude command, then copying up the face to that height. Or I am intersecting a 'flat' extruded face between to levels of the contoured terrain. These are very time consuming. (hope this makes sense) Anything out there? Perhaps this plugin? http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=323%26amp;t=48812%26amp;hilit=+curves A sample model showing what you start and end with would be most helpful.

    Hi: An .rb is the filename extension for a Ruby script. Ruby is a high level scripting language used for Sketchup to automate repetitive, or multiple operations to achieve a modeling purpose. How to install on a Mac can be found here for a start: http://help.sketchup.com/en/article/38583

    @cotty said: The last update fpr version 8 should be M5: win: 8.0.16846 mac: 8.0.16845 (http://help.sketchup.com/en/article/141303) You can compare this with your version number (help -> About SketchUp) Thanks! I saw that page. Since it didn't say anything about 8 at the top I didn't scroll down...Looks like I am set for 8. Now to go to 2014. Though not sure why.

    The 'About SketchUp' should look like this: [image: Capture.PNG] for the latest version of v2014... You should be able to Install it in such a way that will update it to be the latest v2014. If it's offering a Repair and you choose that route, then can I assume it does not update it to the current version ?? Your ultimate option is to uninstall your out-of-date v2014, as it offers you: and then re-install it cleanly... It will keep any previous licensing files, custom Plugins, Materials, Components, Styles etc, but you will loose all toolbar statuses, dialog setups etc that are Registry dependent...
