    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!

    @jgb said: And corroding aluminum with cola is not a party trick. Unless the party goes on a few days, and you get a source of uncoated aluminum. Foil won't do. It's not a myth, I HAVE seen it myself. But equally you could argue the same about vinegar and lemon juice! And what about all those who chew lime (the alkaline version), areca nut and betel in countries like India, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka? Can you imagine salad without vinegar, or hummus without lemon? Heavens forbid! As for caffeine, tea and coffee have copious amounts of that. Life without coffee??? Arghhhhh let me out of here!!!! ......the thread?.......what thread......?

    David, You can open the user library by clicking the Go menu then hold the option key down, it will appear about half way down the list. To get to the system user library, double click the hard drive icon in the upper righthand corner. The library folder will show up in the finder window. Dan

    A texture of squiggles or footprints (feetprint?) should be easy to make tileable. And textures, like the SketchUp sky on glass, are already repeatable. [image: NSP9_trans6.png] (You can see here, it repeats from left to right, and top to bottom) I could superimpose two repeatable textures by finding a least common denominator, and adjusting the width one a but if necessary. For instance, if I was imposing a Sky with a 5' repeat width onto a tile pattern with a 2' repeat width, I could either create a 10' texture - with 2 skies and 5 tiles already repeated, Or, when there is not an easy answer, I could stretch one ot the other - 3.g. stretch to sky to 6; and repeat 3 tiles per sky.

    Interesting, same end result I got. However, I never ever did (knowingly) a projected texture, and I have no idea of what use it really is. I just played around a bit and the simple fix is to bucket (re)paint the distorted faces from the materials drop-box, not from entity info, as I had always done before.

    Hi TIG, thanks for the tip. @tig said: Bear it in mind for next time... That's the big problem! Often you can't remember on the name of the corresponding plugin. I think many of us will have the same problem. I have to create a list with small notes for the plugins that are used less frequently. Charly

    Hi, Fredo's is pointing out the load errors from other rubies, it's meant to... the errors are all SketchUp example rubies. It looks to me like you moved those out of their folders... Do you have a folder called Examples? in the plugins folder, if not make one and put those into it, except ocean ruby which should be in Ocean folder if you do have 'Examples' folder you could try changing it to 'examples' i.e. lowercase. failing that... if you put the example.rb into the Examples folder [both are in the plugins folder] that will stop the messages. also do the same for ocean_extension.rb into Ocean folder... if your trying to learn ruby [which is what they are really for] load them from ruby console and see what errors you get then. or it may be a Lion issue... john

    In case of this particular material, probably a simple, planar projection would work well. Can you post the file? (That pipe would just do).

    Well no. Is that like Fortran? Kidding aside, we will talk. It seems this ideas could use some help from Ruby. Peter

    Maybe treat it as a tablecloth, to drape, so to speak, and model it upside down. Mindful that the dangling portion will need to be cinched up, or gathered. Now, I am thinking that you may approach this like modeling a teardrop. That suggests that you could start with a basic Sketchup UV sphere or a Geodesic sphere as one element, extend it, or stretch it, or scale it upward, form a 2d profile resembling gathered fabric, progressively/ sequentially pushpull and scale for a "few" reps, then tie a rope around it when you get tired. That's probably what I would try, without getting into plugins.
