    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!

    Well you're doing very well... It's a good drawing. I don't know who or what this is for so just take this as you need it; One thing I've begun to add to most of my plans is 3D shots. Either in black and white or color. For instance, the bathroom elevation at the bottom could be moved over and a 3D shot could be placed there of the interior. Perhaps from the entry looking in. It adds some punch to the drawing.

    Glad that helps. By the way, if you haven't done it yet, install the Sketchucation PluginStore plugin and then auto-install Recurve and the other plugins you'll wind up with eventually.

    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?
