    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!

    Yeah, that's also what I am suspecting. And that's why looking into the file itself would be good.

Though it is not obvious anywhere on the Right Hemisphere web pages....actually to the contrary .......sigh. Apologies to those that played. Best, Charlie

    @tfdesign said: @unknownuser said: I'd do the CPU upgrade. That'll help with both SU and rendering so it's money well spent. I'd pass on the GPU upgrade. I don't think you'll see any difference at all unless she's also interesting in playing Skyrim on that PC. That doesn't make any sense, because you can't 'just upgrade' the CPU and not the GPU on a Mac. You do both at the same time. I think you've misunderstood the original poster (or perhaps I have?). We're not talking about upgrading an existing computer. He's buying a new mac and asking which of the 3 upgrade options he should get. I've never gone through the mac buying process, but I don't get the impression from his question that it's an all or nothing thing in this case. -Brodie

    @unknownuser said: ........I hid the section plane to export a clear image as to not have the gray haze over everything. I saved the file with the section plane hidden. When I open it back up I am unable to unhide the section plane...... Whenever you get in a situation that you can't find something in your model, then turn ON: all geometry (SU's menu View > check 'Hidden Geometry') all layers (SU's menu Window > Layers > check all layers) all section planes (SU's menu View > check 'Section Planes') Now your entire model should is visible (guides not yet included!) As you can see, section planescan be hidden + on an invisible layer+ turned OFF. This may make them hard to find. To also display guides and guide points, see View > check 'Guides'.

    @sketch3d.de said: @haynesc said: my budget is around £50 per machine that's not much... the nVidia Geforce GT 440 is probably the 'best bang for the buck' you can get for this small amount of money. Add roughly £30 and you will get something more capable as e.g. the GTS450. And keep an eye on the power consumption, the GTS450 consumes ~100w if forced, in peaks up to ~135w. Which requires a power supply unit of min. 300 watts. hth, Norbert Thanks very much

    @bryan k said: What can I do to lessen the aliasing in SketchUp, if anything? the SU anti-aliasing setting can be configured under: "Windows > Preferences > OpenGL... > Capabilities" Be aware that aa slows down rendering speed and may create some display flickering or blurred textures. And do not change the default aa setting in the Catalyst, i.e. keep the "let application decide" option for a working 'fast feedback' in SU. hth, Norbert

    TIG's right; House builder is the only one that comes to mind. Or seing you use GOH's 1001Bit tools why not just use the "create rafters or joists on selected face' tool. Only difference is you're selecting a vertical face with a bit of clean up.....

    It's impossible to say what is happening with your DWG file contents without taking a look inside the file(s) themselves. One common error is that a file contains objects that were produced in an add-on, like the walls and other construction objects created with AutoCad Architecture (previously called Architectural Desktop). These must be converted into standard AutoCad 3D geometry in the originating application before importing them into SketchUp. When importing, SU also ignores entities that do not form geometry, like text and dimensions, imported images and hatches. SU version 7 cannot read the latest (2010) DWG file format. Anssi

    This is a very old forum.. however if anyone is still interested in SketchUp and BIM, here is a solution: http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=323&t=41840 The plugin provides an easy way to create parametric primitives like walls, beams, columns etc inside SketckUp. It follows a standard process-flow similar to popular BIM software like Revit. best! Dex

    Vista OS system Steps to clean reg Run regedit.exe. [image: Lmv6_pic_0023.jpg] Export SketchUp8.reg then delete SketchUp8 key name. [image: qs3k_pic_0026.jpg] Load SketchUp8.reg to Wordpad. Delete all ToolbarsUser-Bar informtion and also the ToolbarsUserCustom-Bar too. (may be a 1000) then save as sys clear.reg Before deleting________________________After deleting [image: G8fA_pic_0024.jpg] Run the sys clear.reg ( when you need to fix reg again just delete SketchUp8 key name and run sys clear.reg). Steps to use less men : When you want a plugin use ruby console loader.
