    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!

    Tim, many thanks for the prompt response. I noticed that too but was a little confused as I have not imported any .dwg's. Also, I have noticed that on other occasions, the error report states that is SketchyPhysics or some otherplugin that has crashed. I am going to have a drink and go to bed! This is frustrating! Cheers...Scotty

    Tig, your answer are so amazing, specially the once related with your work (plugins). I've bookmarked all your post regarding with extrude thing, because is so dificult for us normal mind to follow the use of your plugin. They are so versatiles that we don't know how to use it or when (at lest me), but you are doing a good work "tigging" us your plugins. I barely give my answer but I give you my

    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.
