    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!

    Adding to wishlist - Make Layout and SketchUp file icons different so I'm not continually opening one thinking it's the other.

    Reinstall again ("repair installation"). It seems for whatever reason, the first install of Layout 3.0.16846 doesn't update the version number.

    Jeff, Thanks a bunch! I transferred the old textures to the new computer @ User--Library--Application Support--Google Sketchup (#)--SketchUp--Materials, and that worked great.

    Huh! I've created plenty of components on faces before, but since I don't have to change axis very often I guess I just never noticed this before. Good info, thanks

    Thanks for the info and links, I will continue to look through the warehouse and some manufactures. I guess if I found one close I could just modify them.

    You can "save as template..." then set to default template.

    @mitcorb said: Side comment: What I greatly dislike about Autocad is the inclusion of the zooms and pans in the history/memory stack. As far as I know, you cannot exclude this completely. I think SketchUp is unusual in this regard in that it's Undo and Redo function addresses changes to the model, not changes to the viewing position. Which is much, much better than the way AutoCAD handles it.

    After trying this again, yes, it can be horrible. I set the AA to (4) as I had to give a presentation on a house model (no entourage or interior). It showed pretty well, and I actually accomplished many modifications on screen (a projection setup at the meeting) but it started the beachball spinning just to select an edge. I have tried just doing my modelling on this setting and sometimes it is OK but others it just sucks or crashes. I can only blame it on this (and my weak computer perhaps).

    @unknownuser said: @unknownuser said: yeah, component stringer does makes different surface areas while remaining editable so does simple scaling of an individual component.. the method i tried earlier was breaking the link between components but this .skp shows that it's possible to do what you want. just had a brain flake earlier hey Jeff.. thanks for showing that it's possible to do that.. do you mind showing us how you did that? oh hi Jeff.. long time no see.. sorry dude but i can't remember how i did that.. it's been a while..

    Alright, cool! And I think I'll try some lettering on the side, too. Thanks for the suggestion. @d12dozr said: Yep, its in the free version too. It was introduced with the Solid Tools, the rest of which are PRO only, but Outer Shell is available to everybody. I also thought this was pro only! Awesome!

    Csaba, I use English versions in both SU7 and SU8. My keyboard mapping has always been Spanish. Already tried a system restore back to december 26th (oldest restore point available), but the gremlin is still present. In fact, I have just witnessed how it changed from dot to comma within a minute, while working! .DAE export is also still defective. Again this is only happening in SketchUp (which is now back to the non-trimble version after the system restore). And it only started happening this week. Weird. I'll run the virus scan and if it finds nothing, I'll have to re-install Windows 7.

    I don't think so. I tried to export images from a model with a draped ortho in it two months ago and they still looked horrible. The Windows clipboard did a better job than SU's exporter.

    I'm afraid Bezier Surface is far from being complete to be released. What about Curviloft? http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=28586#p248195 If you draw the outer edges you can use that tool to generate the surface.

    Here maybe? http://sketchucation.ourtoolbar.com/ Note however that it was created for the old system and if it is dependant on certain links or RSS feeds, they may be broken now.
