    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!

    KMZ Upload Problem - Cannot parse latitude, longitude...

    Found the problem after 3 hours of searching. It was one single filename with part of the name "delfin" but the "i" was accented instead of a dot. It was in the jpg file name plus in the doc.kml file that referenced it. Methinks (Trimble) need to fix their meaningless message so people have some idea what the problem is. The big problem is I was first getting an error message relating to latitude and longitude. The message then changed but the problem remained the same, which is is confusing to say the least. The finished version is here: http://sketchup.google.com/3dwarehouse/details?mid=cf8544f0c3074395dfd89dd71a555b12

    Components on to faces by Chris Fullmer [image: yaOq_grebus.jpg] You can also make your volume with a component "cube" then replace the component cube by a component sphere! Random (or not) Replace Component by Sdmitch can help you for some variations! Ps You can see also this molecule importer!

    It sounds like the style you are using has guides turned off. Go to View and tick Guides. After that check the thumbnail for the style you are using and see if it has circular arrows on it. If it does, click on the thumbnail.

    @imabzeous said: and i am using many plugins but they were working fine with it and suddenly this happen. and besides i installed sketchup 2013 with no plugin in it but still sketchup crashes whenever i tried to import vismat material. This is a key issue for loads, they want your money to subscribe, but wont look into GPU/CPU HD4000 I have to build large office layouts, many rooms and floor's walk through's and more, and the layer system needs to be looked at more effective and faster, i.e. right click object move to 1 of 10 layers, Funny how people will just roll over for a few shinny buttons....

    Fastest Computer possible? For Rendering

    Yes the GPU is the "Graphics Processing Unit". I'm not sure if it is really uasable for you for production rendering because v-ray RT still doesn't support all features (like displacement) and is limited by the GPU RAM. But this is a general thing. Concerning distributed rendering only on the render nodes i'm not sure if it is possible to select only the nodes or if the "manager" is always involved. But in this case you could maybe decrease the threads for v-ray on your workstation. If you don't need v-ray RT over network now you could buy a small card now and add a faster card later (the next generation of nvidia cards next year will support unified memory addressing to enable the GPU to access the system RAM!) One thing to keep in mind is that buying a render node will not speed up your daily modeling and testing workflow - unless you always have your node running also for short tests. One other point to improve your laptop performance could be to replace the HDD by a SSD. (this wouldn't cut your render times, but could be a general speedup)

    I bet you have a new monitor, or have changed your setup around recently. If that is the case and Carsten's suggestion doesn't work, try changing the position of your monitor, the model info window is probably hiding off screen.

    Okay, I figured it out. In a test file, I got a the camera to orbit a small piece of equipment exactly like I wanted. The key was being able to position the camera...AND aim it at a common fixed point. I knew you could position the camera and create a scene, but I was not aware that you could click, then drag the view of the camera to a fixed point. That was the piece I was missing. Once I figured that out, everything fell into place. No plugins were necessary, as was mentioned. Thanks for the help, and if you were trying to get me to see the point above and I just missed it, my apologies.
