    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.

    I also have everything since v.6. I even have the installer of v.5 (free) but that version was such a crippleware that I did not want to reinstall on this new computer.

    I scanned the thread briefly, so apologies if it's already been suggested...but wouldn't the easiest way simply be to construct a perfectly normal room then apply FFD 2x2? Why work out all the trigonometry when SU can do it for you? Ames.skp

    As the boat lies on the water you will have a problem with the parts that are under water. Unless you can view the hull from inside too? Or if you have some accurate specifications? Waterline may not necessarily be where the water is .. Being a barge it may probably be rather flat-bottomed?

    Yeah, that option is on Mac too but occasionally, the SU entity info will get this little glitch in it and some of the info is seeming stuck to the edge. Expanding the dialog box doesn't help.

    Great idea... Photoshop can be used extremely well in this situation. If he wants to do different angles, that is a whole other story. I modeled a whole pirate ship in Sketchup and rendered it in Kerkythea, but needed many different angles of the ship. So I used photoshop for the sky and water, but still had to render all the angles/lighting for each shot. Pirate Ship1 Pirate Ship2

    thanks, I will keep that in mind and bookmark this page. I'm not yet ready to do what I thought needed to be done, as a design issue cropped up yesterday and needs to be solved first. I may be "forced" to get back into SketchyPhysics as a result, something I shoulda done long ago.

    This reminds me of one of the other great things about SU, I can open all my legacy drawings but my BIM software leaves me with a load of unresolved components if I try to open anything more than two years old

    Thanks Csaba - I think we tried the driver, but I am trying to get him to swap the card out with another machine of the same spec to see if the card is what is malfunctioning. At least that is under warranty.

    @aerilius said: When the SketchUp model is not the active window, because the materials/entities dialog or finder or web browser has focus, and you scroll over the SketchUp model, does it zoom (although it has no focus)? yeah, i have a su model peeking through the side of my browser window right now and i can zoom in/out without taking focus from safari.. i can also right click on geometry and the su context menu will pop up though i'm still in safari.. not much use for that but with rhino there is. rhino uses the right mouse button for navigation so i can zoom and orbit a rhino model while keeping focus in another app.

    @unknownuser said: @gaieus said: Also do not forget to purge unused components before saving as a template. likewise, purging will rid the template of all her colors so you'll be able to start off with a blank slate of materials.. That's were all those were coming from! Man, I feel so dumb right now.

    I have Instant Site Grader Pro and use it all the time. It's definitely worth the money. Since you are doing this type of work, you could also check out some of the tutorials I put together for the hardscape contractors here - http://prohardscaper.com/forumdisplay.php?f=52

    As has been said... a CNC machine uses special code ['gcode'] BUT there are converters in its software to allow certain file types like DXF to be converted to that special code... so you need to find out what types of file this specific CNC machine can take in and translate... Converting the SKP to 'gcode' direct is an option, but most machines include translators for some file-types [not SKP unfortunately]
