    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!

    Please go to the User Control Panel and set the info for your platform, SketchUp version, etc. It is hard to help without thi info, as most plugins that deal with the Ruby Console are platform specific.

    @pgarmyn said: @masterpaul You have it if the view direction (line between camera and viewpoint) is perpendicular to the sectionplan, with camera switched 'on'. Any face perpendicular to the view direction is represented without (perspective) deformation, and they will have the same scale if they are in the same perpendicular plan (= same distance). Yeah, your right, I I didnt set my model to be aligned to the axes, it was slightly off.

    I've now solved the problem, which was due to corrupt preferences. The solution procedure was as follows: Close SketchUp. Open a Finder window. Click Go in the top menu bar, press and hold the Option key, then click Library when it appears in the list. Click Preferences. Click and drag the file com.sketchup.sketchup.plist to Trash. Launch SketchUp.

    @box said: Have you edited the transparency within SU, that can make things look wrong. A PNG with a transparent background is different to a transparent PNG. Also it seems to be caused by looking at the back faces, try flipping them to see if that is the problem. If you upload the model someone should be able to see what is going on. I suggest it isn't a Bug! I have not edited the transparency - I'll try to flip the faces. thanks.

    There a lot of choices out there, as you know. All renderers have their lighting and material systems which are generally not compatible with those of the other renderers. This makes it difficult to learn and evaluate very many of them. If you are looking for suggestions - Don't waste too much time setting up materials in SU. I use Twilight and am happy with it's biased/un-biased approach.

    Create scenes for each wall elevation, use align view, parallel projection, section planes etc, or any other setup you want, then print the scenes.

    The native move toll will do that also. If you start move and then input [x,y,z] it will move absolute, <x,y,z> is locale relative move, [,,z] you keep x,y same and move in z , etc

    And for more fun : Components Stringer by Chris Fullmer Advantage: your have 3 possibilities of the size of the Components along the lines: Uniform, Stretch or none! And they follow the "orientation" of the curves - lines! Random Painter always by Chris Fullmer You can of course take also a simple divided line with it!

    Hidden geometry affecting scenes

    Thanks everyone for the suggestions. In the first scene we are also saving the hidden geometry...Normally we don't use hide for anything other than a working tool, but the dialog box seemed like this could be done. Normally we use layers to manage visibility across scenes but in this case the element we are trying to turn off is already on a layer that we are managing the visibility of in other scenes and we didn't want to have to go back and update all scenes...was just wondering if there was a trick to getting an individual scene to save the hidden geometry as the dialog box seems to suggest is possible. Will just add the layers and update all the scenes. Thanks! Chad
