    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!

    ThruPaint looks very useful, of course. Perhaps PaintThru? And don't forget PaintThru For Dummies.

    I don't think so. The 3d version has an option to include guides though...

    This is happening because you are using a displacement based material on geometry that is not meant for displacement -- for more info on how to resolve this see this thread: http://www.maxwellrender.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=107&t=38223 Best, Jason.

    Thank you Dave Thank you Gaieus Thank you Sonder I will not be rendering the scenes with an outside rendering application and I also want to keep the model dynamic for further design developemant so this leads me to using scenes in layout as you suggest. Thank you for other ideas also. Paul

    I've got no excuse. I've been out clubbing with friends and the time change has thrown me. I'm trying to resist turning on my PC as I'll probably end up modelling all night. With my user name I was trying to mix up my real name with an interest with Egyptology, but only recently realised that it was a pretty common Japanese name. It seems to catch a lot of people out. When the haze has cleared, it would still be good to hear if you have any thoughts on the truangulation issue. Think of it as splitdonut in reverse.

    Using 123D Catch from autoCAD I was relatively pleased with the elephant which is fairly complex form so I thought I would test a simple case like a box for dimensional accuracy and I ended up with some surrealistic and cubistic, but not rectilinear results. I would love to sit down and wrestle this thing to the ground but I am moving down close to the Mexico border and also have an important photojob to do and need to sell the Phoenix house. When and if things slow down I will give this 123D thing another run.

    They will both update the current scene-tab. However, in the dialog you can select more than one scene and update several aspects of them at once, and of course you can check/uncheck certain aspects so that only certain things are 'saved/remembered'. Usually each tab will save [remember] all of its settings like its camera etc. But in my 'Troubleshooting' tab only another style is invoked whilst the camera is not affected, so changing to that tab leaves the view unchanged but changes other aspects like line styles etc... Updating a tab should only be done after careful consideration, especially if it's linked into Layout...

    Thank Roger and Gilles... I will check those things out soon. Both looks very interesting but the tools from Thomtom reminds me of Artcam. It turns a 2D Image to a 3D model. I think I've seen the demo in Youtube.

    I'll keep looking in that section. I can't believe sometimes what a slow learner I can be... smoothed, hidden, texture scales, etc.. Thanks very much for your help. [image: f9EH_trees-5.JPG]
