    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.

    Just as an update to this post, we just released OpenStudio 0.6.0 at the end of December. This builds on 0.5 by adding more HVAC templates and also adds gbXML import, and a number of user scripts. Here is a link to a video on the gbXML import. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-E5qCqpe8xk&list=PL54FE3146BF7A2221&index=5&feature=plpp_video We also created a new 101 tutorial series for this release. The old one was very outdated (from 0.3.0). https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL647CC3A5AA51AA6B&feature=plcp Lots of exciting improvements coming in 0.7.0.

    Not being smart but only Google SU have that knowledge. They don't announce any roadmap so you won't find possible release dates anywhere. I'm fairly sure not even beta testers have that knowledge. Since we've just gotten M2 I imagine v9 is a bit of a wait. Always nice to have something to look forward to.

    hi john2, I'm not sure I'm understanding what your having issues with, but if you want to re-use the same profile somewhere else. click into your group [edit mode] >> 'select' the profile face >> 'copy' >> click outside group >> 'paste in place' >> 'make [new] group >> move it to new location >> copy paste the path into the 'new profile group' >> use 'follow me' not sure if you follow me... john

    Hi folks. After seeing the kind of model that you make, no wonder that SU is brought to a crawl. I would suggest that you model all those cables and knobs using as few segments as possible for the circles and arcs. Refrain from using the default values of 24 segments for circles and 12 segments for arcs. Combining these with the Follow me tool will create a lot of facets in very little time. Click in succession on the scenes tabs of the attached SU file for ideas. File size dependent on segmentation.skp

    I do not think TIG's plugin would be needed here. It's only needed when there is some complex, textured 2D geometry to be draped. What you do with a single image is actually not draping but projecting (this may sound hair splitting but knowing the correct terms can also let you find answers in the help documentation easier, too). First of all, how large is that jpg image? SU (even enabling max. texture size) will only display 2048x2048 pixel images (and half of that by default). Would scaling the image (if it is very large) stop crashing?

    The lowest cost 3D solid modeler I have found that works well with SketchUp is Alibre. They have a hobby version for $200. I have used the pro version for years doing product design and found it to work well.
