    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!

    @unknownuser said: I have a bunch of plugins and don't want to blame a plugin, because some times it is a combination. You should! Plugins must play well with others. Plus, sometimes a conflict is really easy to fix. Anyway, in this case it was not a conflict, it was easy to fix, and I would have never see it if users didn't tell me

    @rudbeckia You can try with JoinPushPull, Vector mode with the option Project to plane, as shown here. Otherwise, enclose the terrain in a big box and Intersect / cleanup Fredo

    Okay, I feel pretty stupid. I was looking at the page linked from the Extension Warehouse and forgot I wasn't in the Sketchucation thread. I saw no replies and wondered if it was a dead plugin or something. But there are 15 pages of replies in the actual thread. Maybe I need a new, stronger brand of coffee?

    You should consider downloading a demo version of Rhino and running the Shell command. I'm assuming you're just printing the outside volume of these buildings, therefore you don't need floors. Shell will do what I think you're looking for.

    Phlatscript, now named SketchUcam, does export to g-code. Use the 3D Text tool to make the letters, and uncheck the Extruded option. I am just assuming you are trying to export 2D screen text..

    If you mean why did I rollback the driver, it is suggested by windows to do this if performance problems are an issue. I interpreted this as one reason for the BSOD and display problems. Using available tools through Windows Control Panel was my first approach. After about 3 reports to wherever it is sent, I got back a response in the "Solve PC issues" system tray message thingy that Hewlett-Packard personnel wanted to have a crack at this. But the dataform presented was all about laptops, not desktops, and this just looked like another deadend backwater path to travel down. EDIT: If you mean why did my profile say 2013? That was an oversight which I have corrected herewith. I am still using 2014, and this is the version in which I am experiencing this issue.

    That's kool Seasdes, it does sketchup thumbnails and you can drag in drop into sketchup? Looks like it's free or €10 donationware http://www.irfanview.com/ Good news pbacot... @unknownuser said: Q: Can I use IrfanView on Mac? A: Yes, probably. There is no native-Mac version of IrfanView. However, you can use IrfanView in conjunction with Mac program like WineBottler/DARWINE. Take the ZIP version of IrfanView and unzip it or copy your existing Windows IrfanView folder to Mac. This is easier because the installer may need additional Windows DLLs to run.

    @beaubeashore said: Edit. I know how to Copy Along Path --> Copy To Spacing and enter a set spacing. What I'd like to do is divide the arc into a set amount of equal parts and then place a component at each newly created point. The problem is, if I use Copy Along Path --> Copy To Path Nodes, I can't seem to select multiple paths, so then it only copies for one "segment", giving me just two components instead of moving around the entire arc. Hope this makes sense. Thanks! The issue you are having is easily fixed by welding your segments together to form one 'Path'. There are various welding tools, Tig Weld, Curvizard or plain old Weld are just three that spring to mind. So however you go about getting the correct number of segments afterwards remember to join them together so that other tools will see them as a path.

    Why there is no multithreading? Why there is no support for alembic files? Why Sketchup is so slow in terms of saving large files? Why there is no support for fast import of obj files?

    La pièce jointe aussi a disparue! On dirait bien le phénomène "clipping plane" désactiver la projection parallèle si activée ou jouer avec accélération matérielle/réponse rapide, dans préférences/ openGL.
