    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.

    Hi, IAho: Since you mentioned plugin in your thread title, maybe tak2hata's Building Structure Tools? maybe not. What I said in my first reply still holds. When you insert all of those skp's of different parts of your assembly, they are defined as components in your working file. That is because a Sketchup component is basically a .skp file itself. Collecting a bunch of components and defining this collection as a component with a unique name will create an "assembly". Does this help?

    Here is an old post on old post on uncropping a photo. It would also work to fix photos that have had tilt shift done. But I agree, for your example, could just draw a box and then project texture manually, and skew as necessary. http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=10895

    I tried make terrain meshes but is not what i need. So the only way is exporting the SKP to another modeling software, like solidworks, autodesk simulation cfd and now Xflow CFD

    Excellent advices ! If the material of the printed parts is good enough(won't broke or chip) you could use a tap and a die(which would be like $10) and the outcome will be great !

    Okay, principle taken. However, to obtain and maintain a full fledged ("own") credit card system, it would be burdened with much more extra expenses as it seems to worth. That is: I guess. I have never been good at maths.

    Thanks TIG and Pilou for the clue. I would make the paper face then extrude cause it involve more than 10 different level on top face.

    Exporting to DAE or OBJ doesn't preserve components. Anyone know if there is a way to do that??

    No worries. Sometimes it's easy to get stuck because you are thinking about how to subtract geometry rather than to not make it in the first place. Sometimes it's the other way around.

    I have taught SU at a Local college as a side gig and I really enjoyed it. I had to quit due to time restraints. money-wise it wasn't worth it, but it was loads of fun and very satisfying. I wouldn't look to it for income-making --but if you just want a pay-it-forward kind of experience. . .it's great. My students often got better than me after about . . .oh. ..20 minutes.

    Having fixed it try Model Info > Statistics > 'Purge unused...' As well as the 'Fix problems...' button... What are you doing when it 'crashes'? What is the manifestation of this 'crash' ?

    @niclasbladh said: Perfect! Is the possible to render that setup in for example Maxwell Render? I do not know about Maxwell but it is generally possible to render a model image and layer it on top of the original photo IF the renderer's camera is perfectly matched with the SU camera. @unknownuser said: Any ideas where to find good quality HDRI's? There are lots of good resources - see this news article for instance: http://sketchucation.com/all-news/336-free-hdri-resource-at-hdri-hub Of course all depends on what environment you actually need.
