    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!

    @mwm5053 said: I've been using SU 8 Pro and skipped SU 2013 but started using 2014 because I saw big improvements that were worth checking out mainly faster shadows. So my 8 hour time expired but won't let me use a free ver. like 2013 SU Make. Till I can afford to upgrade assuming I can jump from SU 8 to 2014 for the 95.00 upgrade fee {can I ?} wondering why it won't let me use free ver. SU 2014 Pro trial ends after 8 hours use. But remains on your computer. You need to uninstall first, then install SU 2014 Make (trial). I guess you won't get the extra 8 hours now. It reverts to the free version. You can upgrade later to pro by entering the license key.

    Gareth, it's been talked about a lot around here and migrating your plugins is not a good idea for this incarnation of sketchup. The ruby version has changed and a great many plugins needed to be updated to work with it, some still haven't been updated. Copying your plugins means you are potentially using out of date plugins that will cause you problems. It is best to start again and load them fresh therefore ensuring that you have the most up to date versions, and you can clean out those plugins that you never really use. It is very easy now with the SketchUcation plugin store, auto install what you need as you need it. Or the Extension warehouse. The few plugins from outside these places can be installed in there own way but be aware they may not yet work with 2014.

    Solar North Toolbar -- Where is it in SU 2014?

    Thanks, Thomas, for your help and response. For some reason, I thought the Solar North was included in SU 2013 (much like some of the camera plug-ins). But my memory is getting feebler by the minute, so I'm sure your're right. I think that the idea of better integration of the EW with SketchUp is really good and it seems that the ability to truly customize SU without a bunch of features that you won't use much is forward thinking and useful. I'll go about getting the Solar North plug-in and installing it, and while I'm at it, I'll look around to see what other customization options might be available. Thanks again!!

    I emailed Trimble yesterday with the same request, Still haven't heard back from them. Tomorrow it's taking my current reseller already 1 week to send me the new code for release 2014. Their response until know: "we're waiting for them to send us the codes." Very strange and not happy about it... 8 hour trail period was already 90% gone on the first day... High hopes for tomorrow. edit: at last, on Friday I get my new codes from the reseller & Trimble a few hours later.

    Hi: I think this is right: When you create a new template based on an existing one, you will notice in the style large image a circular arrow imposed over the image. Click on the image, as the arrow represents that you must update in order for it to save.

    fyi; Think you will have to look at % systemroot%\memory dump. If not getting dump paging file maybe set too low; c:\windows\mini dump look at with debugger. If memory not failing me the little box is set to allow ok to send data to MS OCA?? Service will need the dump files

    That's a good list Fredo. Many of those are on my own personal wish list as well. There certainly isn't a shortage of things to do. The hard part is figuring out where to start. :s

    If by turn it on manually you mean tick the box next to measurements in the list of toolbars, then it is a toolbar and will appear wherever you left it. You can slide it left to right or drag it off the status bar. If you have it sitting right side and you use the restore down button it will move to the right hand corner of the smaller window but not move back when you maximize. If it is the measurement box in the status bar that turns on and off from a right click context menu on the status bar itself then something is odd.

    Michael, instead of using the Large Toolset undocked, make two new custom toolbars and dock them side by side on the left as I've shown in the screen shot. The custom toolbars will take up less space than the Large Tools set because there's no spacers between groups of tools. You can also leave out tools you don't use. I left out the Dimension, Leader Text and Walkthrough tools because I don't need them in SU. [image: 12879590815_b7381a3c5f.jpg]

    I wasn't aware it was fixed but I see that check mark now. I wonder if the suggestion to reset the toolbars was the fix.

    Yea, I have had that thought before. And that is partly why I asked those questions. However, I have more or less accepted that my security system: firewall, antivirus and antispy ware are operating.

    @jeff hammond said: ...i am (sometimes) able to get the red X depending on my zoom level.. if i zoom out of the scene, i'm more likely to get the intersection snap to an outside object.. if i'm in close to the arc's endpoint, i only seem to get the 'on edge outside active' inference. My workflow would be: copy edge (that needs to be intersected) to clipboard. enter the context where the arc neds to be draw. Then 'Paste in Place' the edge. draw the arc which now has an edge in the same context to intersect. delete (one side of) the now divided edge. Or: just pre-draw a congruent edge in the same context where the arc needs to be drawn. draw the arc. delete (one side of) the now divided edge. So no messing around with trying to find an intersection with edges in other contexts. Thanks for the feedback Jeff.
