    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!

    Another issue. Due to the new pricing system I miss the yearly fee to our developers, which allows Trimble to set up the extension site with foreign Plugins. Without these Sketchup is a bit useless in commercial work. Maybe 50% of the upgrade price should be enough The new Extensin site is a good idea, but is basicly done by others and just a collection, rather than a new upgrade achievement.

    @chris fullmer said: Thanks for posting this. I've submitted the model and the materials as a bug to be fixed. It is the dark wood material that is actually causing the problem. Do you know anything about that jpg or how it was created? Chris Yes, you are right. That dark wood texture pic was downloaded from Internet. Then I screetshot part of it to use as surface texture in my model.

    @ely862me said: But then I suppose you can't replicate the inner wall to match exactly with the outer wall, because the curve is different! So the only way is to use scale tool to match as much as you can . this is good enough for me. the more control over it the better but its what looks good - figure out how to make the bugger later!!! great c

    Going to post this question here as it on the same subject. So 3d scanned a panel ready to unfold but currently the mesh is to complicated to unfold. Tried terrain reshaper but it does not seem to change. Trying to achieve a more consistent mesh which is not to time consuming to unfold. .skp is 8mb so put a share on dropbox https://www.dropbox.com/s/ur1su2eyv9eutyn/side%20panel.skp Multiple cookie or bottle of Scotch donation is someone can help!!

    This sounds like a feature I might want to add to [Re]Scene Plugin. Here is the link so you can check it out to see if next update includes this feature. http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=323&t=52203 Cheers!

    Maybe you can use the geopositioning of SU and import the better mesh afterwards and use the google earth terrain as a reference for the positioning?

    Well, last year John Bacus of (now already Trimble) said in his presentation at SketchUp BaseCamp in Boulder, Co. that the new SketchUp will be called "SketchUp 2013" so SketchUp 9 is unlikely to happen (and those screenshots seem to be a hoax too).

    If the plugin is warning have not been removed I presume its because it still can cause some problems and maybe conflicts with other plugins so it is wise to follow the advice of not installing until it gets fixed. Most of the issues regarding plugins comes when modifying a global variable and not putting your code under unique module so that no other plugins gets affected. I am sure there is more reason though so if you are unsure of a plugin maybe ask in the developers forum if its safe. Also 'SketchUcation plugin store' is great place to find safe and up to date plugin and a very cool feature is to unload plugins you are not using and load them up when you do. Here is a link to that plugin.... http://sketchucation.com/resources/plugin-store-download Cheers!

    Mine is not so bad on a Mac (using Simon's example). But how can we compare complexity of work? I can say that it is mostly use of plugins that can cause it and I know which ones seem to be doing heavy lifting and sometimes drop the ball so I save before these. But I can definitely get screwed sometimes. Don't get me wrong.
