    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!

    @toto85980 said: which I place into my spotlight component and behind the glass ; and I got the render I'm looking for, but the Kerkythea render take more time. I'll shared my skp component if you have any idea to perform my render ... I don't know how to set a fake emit light material on my object. [attachment=2:3tb4kf8q]<!-- ia2 -->spotlightsample.jpg<!-- ia2 -->[/attachment:3tb4kf8q] If you put a light behind the glass, glass will turn light to caustic light, that will render quite lot slower. Please read trough Kerkythea tutorials at http://www.kerkythea.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=5720 They will guide you trough the basics.

    Have you tried Three line tool by Chris Fullmer Using line_normals to start a normlize line direction clf_vertical_line_maker_loader.rb or Guides Axes Normal by TIG Can add 3 guide lines normal to picked face or workplane. clinesaxesnormal.rb Work Plane by TIG Adds true working plane(s) and grid(s) in your model. WorkPlane.rb Once you find the normal you can use the axes tool set normal to new z to force display of perpendicular inference Like you said Gaieus "align the axes to a certain line and then use the other axis inference to draw a perpendicular one."

    If you used components or groups, the texture will also scale down with them. If there are components, you can right click and "Scale definition". If they are groups, you will need to turn them into components first.

    The cumbersome offset was what lead me to inquire, Dave. srx has got a promising ticket, though, and I thank you both very much.

    i may be a bit late to the conversation, but I use both the small version (at home) & the pro version (at work). They work great, but use them a lot more when Im in 3ds max, or when I need to get really close on my model in SU and the mouse just isnt cutting it. I honestly dont use many of the shortcut buttons on the pro version so if your on a budget, the $99 one will do just fine. Hope that helps

    Pilou often links from that Kitto Raup and that guy has some very good video tutorials mostly made with the native tools that we often neglect nowadays as we are overwhelmed and spoiled by those plugins. (Similarly, Jean Lemire often posts simple solutions achievable with the native tools instead of suggesting some "easy looking" way with plugins).

    Actually your roof.rb is a good starting point for an editable rafter tails addition, where the editable rafter tail components only extend from the exterior building envelope to the width of the roof overhang. Is spring in the air yet?

    On a reversed face, projected textures are usually positioned mirrored.

    Magnificent model of ancient Inca city, and cheers for dedicated effort to create it! Having hiked there in '83, your model exposes much more than what we could see at that time. The mountainous terrain is so much a part of Macchu Picchu that it really adds to the SU complexity and challenge.

    I am also having this problem in both Sketchup 7 and 8. I can still go to the 3D warehouse but can't figure out how to download a component into my model. When I download it opens it in a new template. It takes so much more time without the use of the components window, what is going on??

    @massimo said: Hi Jim, so you want to get rid of the hidden geometry? If so go to "view" in the menu and untick "hidden geometry". Bear in mind that SU works with planar faces so you'll always have edges (hidden or visible) even in a "curved" surface. Ahh!!...Thank You Very Much. I was only familiar with the hatch patterns that display on hidden components. . . I didn't realize that view option had this effect on curves (when turned on). I was convinced I had a stubborn edge on my hands. Thanks again, Jim
