    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.

    Layer0 is special in terms that raw (ungrouped) geometry being on it will always keep its visibility. In your case (without going into this "speciality"), the solution would be to group that geometry displaying those images and place the group on a separate layer (which now you can hide).

    I have done pretty successful matches from other software which also does not have a camera export that could be used in SU by simply exporting an image first and then using SketchUp's match photo function to exactly (or at least as much as possible) match the image with the SU model. (Normally one would go the other way round, true).

    SpaceClaim seems like a better version of SketchUp But too pricey!

    Hi I know that this is old theme but the problem is still here. I try to rend file and same error183/ temp file error and so is showing. One of my decision was to install older Google sketchup 7 and it helps but not every time. Next I have to rend the scene as animation and don't want to thing what problems I'll have. So any decisions? Thank you.

    You could also look at Tree[d] These can be saved as .obj files and imported into SU

    Thanks for the responses. I think I will draw in the lines. I didn't mention that the reason I didn't want to do the intersect command is because the potential of adding a lot of geometry, like ''beginner' mentioned. I was hoping there was something in the styles command that I didn't know. Cheers, have a great weekend.

    @tig said: No screen-shot ? In the first post. The group of the cylinders inside the rectangle. My english is very bad, sorry I'll search some plugin. Thanks TIG. 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.
