    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!

    @thomthom said: @fuzzion said: I am not really sure what to make of this. You didn't really explain what you where talking about until towards the end of the thread... Helps to start of with the actual topic. Regardless, there's a loooong thread here on the topic: http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=44881 @fuzzion said: What will happen to Vray for sketchup. Devin said that they see no reason for much to change. They will keep working on VfSU. @fuzzion said: Are there plans to continue the plugin scheme. Appears so. Their announcement said they want to continue with SketchUp as a platform. So I think/hope it might in fact make it better. @fuzzion said: 3)Does Trimble plan to improve on Sketchup or use newly acquired IP rights to start a new software? Don't think they'll start a completely new software. (Depends on what you mean by n"new" (complete rewrite?)) If they'll change the SketchUp package? Who knows... The SketchUp team has said that SketchUp will be SketchUp. Have a look at the thread I linked to. Any information out there on the topic will be referred to there. Thanks for the input

    Thanks for the response Mike. But I will suggest that even before I sign a contract on a job, I like to tell my "future" clients that "I'm looking forward to working with them". Regardless, of the closing date, it looks, as far as I can tell, like a "done deal". (apology's for all the quotation marks). Honestly, I hope the deal is closed soon, so we SU users can get a better handle on how it will affect us. Chris

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

    I had this problem awhile back with a file someone sent to me. It was the same thing. The other person had set Extensions to 0.

    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.
