    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!

    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.

    Hi: I would say that Tak2hata is a very responsive author to suggestions such as "maintain camera height" and, if you post in the plugin thread, he may respond. Disregard this comment if you have already posted there.

    If you're importing CAD data, explode the whole plan - including all blocks - and regroup it. The clipping plane is also dependent on the field of view. Use a higher focal length to get closer (zoom). (i have FOV assigned to "V" to be able to change it dynamically)

    No. Use four or more Scene tabs and toggle between them. You can have different view, layers etc for any of those tabs... Much more flexible...
