    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!

    Cheers, so it is a known bug of sorts? I thought I was doing something at first by accident but it just kept happening. I will keep an eye out for that and try to avoid minimizing. Maybe its worth taking off autosave as I am used to saving often anyway thanks to using in house tools.

    I have tried different techniques to construct an aseptic T-piece as it is used in pharmaceutical pipelines. This example is done by Fredos Tool on Surfaces and EEbyRails. [image: Z2Tu_AsepticT-piece.jpg]

    This thread seems to deal with the same issue (amongst other things): http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=14353&p=108605 It seems not, which is annoying. I'm going to see if Layout can do something for me.

    @gaieus said: Edson, Was the texture not applied to a back face (and on the front face inside the wrong one)? That would explain also (and probably explain why your workaround worked). csaba, it surely could. I was using this and other context elements from several older projects thus I do not remember when I modeled that. one of the things I did was to reverse the face before trying the other steps.

    I was advised to update my GPU drivers as SU made some driver changes in V7. SU8 needs Open GL 1.5. The highest available for my old ATI-9200 card is OGL 1.3. So I need a new GPU; which means an upgrade to my old power supply as the new cards are power hogs. But my old case may not be able to mount the new form factor P/S, so I may need a new case, which may not mount my old Gigabyte M/B. And so it goes............

    Hi Rich, Depending on the complexity of the model (i.e. on how many faces you need to do this), it can be easier or even worse... After projecting the photo, exit the PM tool and go to the faces. Right click each face and make the texture unique on each. This should crop the image at the boundary of the face on one hand and make it rectangularly mapped on it on the other. A lot of renderers have issues with matched photos and this procedure generally helps.

    I wish I had one. I've been looking at CNC routers for cutting large sheets of plywood but they are quite expensive and if I put one of those in my shop, I wouldn't have room to build another boat.

    @pixero said: Well, it's hard to say how fast anyone will learn Photoshop but I use it a lot to incorporate both people, trees and more. There is lots of ready to use cutout trees availble and after a while you'll want to photograph your own and make your custom library of images. Be sure to learn how to color adjust the images so they match the lighting of the render. Here is a good place to start: http://vyonyx.com/category/tuts/ Great tutorials and also some trees and people for download. Another thing. If you're serious about Photoshop you should get yourself a wacom pen. Makes life soo much easier in Photoshop. Cheers for that. Long time ago, about 2 years, I bought a Wacom tablet for Sketchup after watching Ironman, but I realised the mouse was so much better ,plus i needed the money at university for Booze and smokes so i sold it. Should have kept it lol

    It is not a SU setting (and definitely not a setting at model level - which means that cannot be set with the template) but indeed a printer setting so you are stuck where you are now and what you already know.
