    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.

    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.

    Help Downloading Fredo license from Sketchucation

    When you choose to download a '.license' file you just download it onto your computer, then store it somewhere safe for later on... Your browser seems to think you want to open it and so it asks you for an app to open it - but don't ! just download the file... You then open the licensing dialog from the extension's menu item in SketchUp and simply 'validate' the license there - choosing the saved license file as appropriate... This then links the extension to its license on that computer...

    Try a different browser or disable any javascript blocking extensions that would stop PayPal working.

    Second last test render. Getting the graffiti to work with the brick normals map was a big learning curve for me. I think one more tweak. Not the image I was aiming at but I think it works. Just a screen shot to fit for sketchucation resolution/image size. [image: Skp small.jpg]

    @rich o brien said: Can you explain what the issue is? From our end it works I'm not able to enter my VAT-ID in the shop to purchase without VAT. I contacted the support and got this response: "The only way for this to work is to make the purchase with a PayPal business account which is set up differently than an individual's PayPal account and so the VAT would not have been applied." I don't have a paypal business account (needs a separate bank account). And i never had any problems purchasing software using my normal VAT-ID.

    Changing material of Object by their layer

    First thing I would do after importing is run TIG's Default Layer Geometry to set all edges and faces back to Layer 0. Then I would purge unused layers. That should reduce the number of layers you need to deal with. Next I would hide all but one remaining layer leaving just the components you want to apply the material too. You could select all of those components and apply the material to them in one click. If you want to have the material applied to the faces instead of the objects, use the Instance to Faces option in the Material Tools extension.

    Hi there, Well it's been a while. Did you find a workaround in SketchUp to gather data from the Leica 910? I tried this years ago but without succes.

    OpenCutList Grain Direction Issue

    In your image you show the grain direction running horizontally on the sides. Is that what you want? The more common method would be to have the grain running vertically. Not only does that tend to be more aesthetically pleasing but it's importand with solid wood. The way the grain is displayed on your model you would have gross grain joints between parts which will create issues with joinery. (If you ware using veneered termite excrement, that wouldn't be a big deal since there is no grain.

    @pinoy said: Hi, I've been a long time Mac user. I'm still using 2nd gen iMac specially for sketchup modelling full time. No problem in modelling. For rendering I'm use Thea, V-ray Next all work 100 percent. Time has been moving fast ,with the new real time rendering applications around. My iMac can't handle those high computing applications. You should thing about this and if you are going into realtime in the future i.e new v-ray realtime, Twinmotion to Unreal Engine or D5 etc. For me I bought a Window laptop GPU of course just for Realtime rendering proposes. and do my 3d modelling-small scene rendering projects in iMac 27" . Anyway I hope that helps in your decision.Cheers What pinoy said

    Every now and then the sign in happens to me but never have I experienced toolbar chaos. Any time extensions are involved you can't guarantee consistent behaviour though.

    for my roaming content (plugins) i make sure i copy them over to the newest directory, and for my components, materials etc i copy them over to the newest program data folders. update my preferences -> files open SU verify the plugins etc are all working, then i mark the second oldest top level folder as "SketchUp 2020.X" in case i missed something, and remove the older ones.
