    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!

    Hello, That would be a nice feature to add. I agree, getting the same structure in the PDF as is Sketchup would be very nice. If you add tis, make it optional, to allow people who have other interests to use it in the current way. Adding property/value to each node/component would transport the complete information available. Regards Hans-Peter

    @walterap said: I'll try to explain my doubts. I started my work with the "simple templet meters" now wanted to move to "architectural design millimeters", using the dialog box "preferences" but nothing changes. What to do? It sounds to me as if you didn't do anything to load the new template. After selecting the template in Preferences>Templates, click on File>New. This isn't a bug so it shouldn't be in the SketchUp Bugs forum.

    I guess there's not much to do when the design changes.

    I am guessing here, and most probably will get corrected: If this was a circle extruded into a drum, I will bet that the circle is a closed curve, you did some outline with Tools on Surface to generate the eyebrow, then did perhaps a Joint PushPull to project it which sent some spurious signals to the program "behind the curtains". It interrupted its connection with the curve. Wrong? Oh, well.

    You need to copy the petal off by 1mm then reverse its face... then all is well... there is only one petal so editing is quiet quick...test_hibiscus.skp[image: TVc4_test_hibiscus1.PNG] [image: Y6SQ_test_hibiscus.PNG]

    Check out ThomThom's 'Cleanup' and 'Plan Tools' plugins. I think they would help for this.

    zetavares852 I do think specific light emitting materials are needed?? Out side my knowledge base but some renders have the capability to set the Illuminace of the mesh on or off? That common thread maybe worth some check?

    Scaling Geometry Without Scaling Textures / UV

    It depends upon how you drew the staircase, If it is a component or group, open it for editing and select all of the geometry. Then get Scale and do the scaling operation. This won't have any effect on the material scaling. If you drew the treads and risers as components separate from the stringers, You won't want to scale the entire staircase anyway. This would change the thickness of the stringers. In that case you would want to Move a stringer and then adjust the tread and riser components separately. You could open the components and use Scale, Move or possibly Push/Pull for that. None of those modifications would affect the material. I think this is a common issue for folks because they can scale a group or component without opening it for editing. There are some applications for that but more often, it is the geometry that should be getting scaled.

    Well, maybe. If you go anywhere else than the home page, there are articles from TDC in the sidebar.
