    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!

Nope, no plugin; it's right there in the zoom section of the Large Tool Set. Ah you mean Zoom previous ... Pilou, no, you can't do the same. Snap loupe is very quick function - you place cursor over desired area and then hit Z key .. here and there.. very fast [flash=480,360:2rwausae]http://www.youtube.com/v/2B63LIfE6Jc?version=3&amp[/flash:2rwausae]

    You can use Component Stringer by Chris Fullmer for all the "Chains" [flash=420,315:2i1s6p6d]http://www.youtube.com/v/rE0laoPV_z4[/flash:2i1s6p6d] [flash=420,315:2i1s6p6d]http://www.youtube.com/v/_ymYoEHiexg[/flash:2i1s6p6d]

    Sekta, how did you get on with Unfold? I was going to use Flattery but wondered if you'd made anything up yet?

    Well, it looks like exiting then reopening the model fixed the problem. I should have tried that before posting. Thanks

    I hope that Apple do offer something exceptional to truly kick Google Earth/Maps butt. The more competition the better. But I'm a little wary of the fact that Apple's recent releases have been significantly less awesome than the hype created beforehand. Both the iPhone 4S and iPad "3" releases offered very little in terms of improvements. So why automatically assume that just because Apple are dumping Google that they have something awesome to replace it with? The animosity that Apple feel towards Google could spur them to create a GE killer, but it's more likely that they are just dumping Google and going with a close competitor than they're going to make a huge stride forward with their first attempt. I hope that Apple do offer an awesome service like those flyover movies suggest. I'm not holding my breath though.

    Merci, Pilou. I don't think I need Chris' PI for this as I have no problem selecting the faces that I want. I'm not sure how the TIG code bits help, either. I want each face or each face group to be made into an instance of the same component. Your mark-up tool is very nice, though. Is it available in English?

    Another thing : with the plugin Mover (this is Mover 2 : I have made the animation with Mover 0 ) I believe than you can't see the animation if Mover is not installed mover.skp

    jacequay, Again, thank you. It is now working as I wished. Jeff Hammond, I had previously checked Logitech drivers. However, they do not allow modification of the primary mouse buttons. Thanks to all. Snead

    Well, thanks and that's very good news that it ain't nothing to do with SCF. I only saw it that once for awhile, perhaps while another (bad) tab was open. ? . No bad browser extensions found, no such programs installed, but there was an offending cookie, so I blocked the sites in FF. I am mindful of the third party piggyback installs and do not allow, but some others may not be as mistake-proof as I am. @unknownuser said: Mozilla Firefox Extension (XPI): Step 1: Open Firefox, and navigate to Tools -> Add-ons (Ctrl+Shift+A). Step 2: Select Extensions and find the Text Enhance extension, and click disable and remove. How to block the Text Enhance cookie From the Tools menu, select Options In the upper section of the Options window, click Privacy In the Cookies tab, click Exceptions In the new Exceptions – Cookies window, enter Text-Enhance.com and Textsrv.com in the Address of Website field and click Disable [image: kKsW_textserve.com-1.JPG]

    Thanks @ely862me, it was able to be hidden by clicking on it and saying "Hide", easy fix! Strange thing is SP is installed to the plugins folder but no toolbars are present in SU. All components were modeled by me (not taken from 3D Warehouse or online). So I am not sure what the deal is, at least if we can hide it then it should be OK for now. Thanks!

    Hi Jeff I think what you are experiencing may have to do with a bug I ran into recently. Apparently windows and mac versions of sketchup have different ways of measuring text height! Simple test. Create a 3d object on the pc, using arial for example. Note the text height used. Save the file. Open that same file on a mac. Try and recreate the same text, using the previous parameters. Compare. ,!!! No matter what you try, they will not match.

    GREAT, thanks a lot TIG, i'll give it a try in a minute @dave r said: Why do you need the subgroups to be on a layer if their top group is on that layer. Turning off the visibility of the top group's layer will have the same impact whether the subgroups are on that layer or not. It's about importing a skp-file to 3ds Max where 3ds splits up all groups with subgroups into seperate objects- and puts them to the layer each group was put on in SU. For toggeling visibility it would have been enough to change the layer of the top-group, you're right.

    Hi folks. Be aware that the Generate Report function works correctly only if you use the dot as the decimal separator and the coma as the list separator. I was set like in many European country, using the coma as the decimal separator and the semi-colon as the list seprator and was never able to generate a usefull report. When doing so, all the info was dumped in only one column. Not very usefull. Just ideas.

    I don't know about Maxwell but it seems to be a bit tricky. Searched Sketchucation and found: http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=80&t=44406 Maybe that helps. Good luck.
