    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!

Jean Lemire: Thanks for the explanation. I know this method. My doubt is about to align groups, like in my first post. It seems is necessary some plugin.

    @cmarievb143 said: When i export the animation i have set up it doesn't export the full animation... only half of it. Is there a setting i am missing? or could my animation be too long? any ideas? A couple of things; Are all your scenes selected to be in the animation? How are your exporting it? .avi or Images? How big is your model? Can you post it for us to take a look? Does it take a long time export?

    The point is that inference does not work for dimensions. I miss that too. Its much easier to dimension without using guidelines, like in Autocad.

    have a look under prefrences and open GL, make sure high quality textures are off and also if hardware acceleration is on, turn it off, or off, on. Finally are you trying to pan with shadows on? the model moves faster with them off.

    I think you have to align your hinges on the same axis , then take the protractor and place it in the center of a hinge's bolt and rotate. It should do the job ! Take care ! [image: IrHl_1.jpg] [image: iD16_2.jpg] [image: X64g_3.jpg] [image: CpJz_4.jpg]

    Sam, please (if you have not done this yet), try to group your bowl in SketchUp and export the model with this grouped geometry (rather than raw geometry) included.

    It's always better to ask people for permission (although the terms of service try to imply that everything publicly shared can be re-used, modified, derivated, redistributed. Every modeler has granted these rights for other users). Next to the username is sometimes a blue envelope icon that opens a contact form. Unfortunately users can turn it off and then there is no way to contact them (except you find their username somewhere else on the internet and are sure it's the same person).

    ok, if we are talking about create and animate organic characters and so on, i totally agree with you.. blender is blender.. but if we are just talking of a coffee cup i think sketchup is good enough, you are right, maybe you need a couple of plugins of course, but at least you don't need to import/export/convert/learn blender..

    And whilst I could not get different units displaying in the two panes, I did manage to get one pane to show the units suffix and the other pane display without the 'mm' - seems illogical and inconsistent. Before now it always seemed to display in current units properly ? Can anyone else get my effect ?
