    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!

    Here is my solution to this problem: -change units from mm to meters -resize the model with the measure type tool (1mm = 1m) -apply trim to the solids (and also all other operations till finished the model) -change units back to mm -resize back the model with the measure type tool (1m = 1mm) I'm sure that there are other problems related to the size of the model, that can be overcome in this way.

    We have had a closer look to this already. It would need yet another javascript to load and it is quite an active load to always query the Facebook site for the stats it seems. Sometimes SCF is getting slow anyway (looking for solutions...)

    John, before you get finished with this component, you might want to adjust the edges of that end face. Take a look at the two scenes in the attached file. The guideline runs along the edge at the end of the slope. Notice the edges of the end aren't coplanar. I expect this is a big reason for the triangulation required to get the surface to fill. I fixed it by replacing extending the round part and slicing it off with a cutting plane. Edit: I moved this thread because it isn't a bug. Crescent Wrench 3.skp Crescent Wrench 3 fixed.skp

    No, the versions are always updated together. In fact, there is just one core program. Your version is the most up-to-date now - it came out some time in January or February. Aaron may still have had the previous version (from September).

    Well, I have corrected the problem. With Dale's help. For some reason, the program reverted back to a trial version and it appeared the registration code wasn't working. However, the problem seems to be me. I guess I wasn't careful enough in entering either the email address or the code. Anyway, after being extra careful, the program was registered again with the original code. I wish to thank Dale for all his help and the program. Just wanted to be sure I have included the solution to this plugin problem. Thanks to all in your responses. Ken

    Is this the way you think it should look then?[image: 6TQN_Clipboard-30.jpg] That's how I understand what you're explaining, but IMO that looks very wrong.

    Rich's method is perfect if your blue prints are in an image format and can be applied as a texture. If you've got a SketchUp drawing instead, you might want to look at Chris Fullmer's Shape Bender.

    Hey These are kind of fun. She uses the "thingies" idea pretty well, as well as it looks like she had some fun with the projections. Your right, interesting idea.

    I follow you, I'm not very familiar with the solid tools yet, I'll have to explore those. I understand from your guidance that I need to fix the model according to your guidelines before I can use these tools to create a wall thickness. Thank you

    Ya, Soluto is quite nice. They came out with an update recently and added some new features. Originally the idea was to speed up your boot time by helping you chose programs that didn't need to start up at boot time. Now they've added a new feature which keeps track of your program crashes and eventually as it develops, may help you to fix them. The hope is that it will be what the normal windows crash reports should be (something that helps you fix the issue, rather than just a log that gets sent off somewhere). It also has a new feature to help speed up your browser but I haven't had a chance to test it out yet. At any rate, it's a great software. One of those rare ones like dropbox, that just does what it does, but does it very well. -Brodie

    "Plain" 3d arc/circles imported from DWG/DXF are recognized as such in the SKP, so you can then change their segmentation in Entity Info later [there is also a script to change selected arc/circle's segmentation en mas sin the same way]. If the arc is part of a 3d form it's not changeable.

    @tig said: The 'section-plane list' dialog could select [i.e. highlight] the 'ticked' section-plane [picked from the list listed 'by name']... BUT then you'd have to make it 'active' manually [at least at the moment the way the API is]...
