    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!

    Thanks to both of you! can't believe I've been using su for so long and didn't notice the segment count. anyway, I extended the lines and then used stray lines to select and delete the edges - guess thats the best it gets and thats not too bad thanks again

    Thanks, that is perfect. Our plugin's installer doesn't look for SU 2013 so users not wanting to use our beading edge developer release can't easily use 2013 (without hand moving files). Having the SU 8 link is good solution.

    Thanks Bob, I installed the new Driver. Now it works in 2013. However, before I had to copy the new 3DxSketchUp.dll file from "Sketchup 8" into "Sketchup 2013". Charly

    It does give some more insight to some of the technical aspects of SketchUp - why things behave the way they do.

    Frank, it's not a bug. See your other post. I moved it from the Bugs forum.

    Had you included your OS etc in your User-Profile you might have got a MC user's response... Perhaps it's an issue with v2013 MAC exporter and text ? Can I suggest you get in touch directly with SketchUp's support side - as a Pro user you should get an answer - even if it's only, "It's a known bug on MACs, we are working on it..."

    Yes group the retaining wall entities. You might use "Tools on Surface" plugin to draw your profile on the group, but not necessary. The group should not affect the SB from contours process. I like to make curves of the contours with recurve rb. The process will also assure you've got a continuous set of segments for each contour. You can also use simplify curve routines (Fredo Tools?). But definitely look at Toposhaper that resolves some these requirements. There should definitely only be the single contour set, not a flat surface or second set below. To raise the contours from a flat set, there are various methods, You might make a vertical array of edges or guides to snap to your intervals. I think the push-pull method is more trouble. Look for Daniel Tal's 2008 lecture video too. You will see more on SB work. https://sites.google.com/site/3dbasecamp2008/

    Have you uploaded the STL to cloud.netfabb.com? Link also in my first post. If that doesn't work, can you upload the troublesome part here or PM it to me? So far I've not had a model that wouldn't work.

    That was my idea Gaieus... However when I unhide all I'll run into issues. I think I'll need to put the guide inside of a group and then hide the guide inside the group. that should leave it there. Then of course I was a little worried that i would do something to all my models I might come to regret later for unknown reasons.

    You have to change the render type to Vector in LayOut. Apparently you're not doing that.

    In Pro when you Export a 3d DXF or DWG there is an options button on the dialog. This opens an options dialog in which you can specify what will be included in the exported data. One item is 'Construction Geometry' [aka Guide-lines and Guide-points] by default I think this is unchecked... Check it and they export as XLines/Rays and Points in the CAD version...
