    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!

    Thanks, Tom, I may try that. I've not been using the import of dwgs very often lately. Got a bunch of furniture leg profiles from a place that manufactures legs and other mill work which I would import and use as patterns to extrude. I've been making models of antique furniture using photos of the originals and found I can usually trace out the shapes pretty close, so haven't the DWGs much.

    I'm pretty sure this is a graphic card issue. (which one you got?) Confirm by temporary disable hardware acceleration. If you see it then, update your drivers.

    Solo, thank's for the "Sculptris", reference. Although I'll probably never us it for my primary work, it's really fun to use! It reminds me of a program from about '96, by Dazzle, maybe. But so much easier!

    Good to hear. I have the same problem...too many plugins that is. I actually went through my plugins folder before migrating it over to 8 to see what was in there....lots of buried treasures I'd forgotten about, and even some oldies back from SketchUp 4! [edit] Ha! Just checked PageExim, and it was written for v4. Too funny.

    @honoluludesktop said: Apple is candy wrapper, and I do not mean that badly. I wear Ferragamo shoes too. i dunno, i think it goes a bit beyond just making the things look fancy.. the unibody design of their laptops can't be beat.. literally, take a solid chunk of aluminum and carve out the innards. they're not just candy wrapped, they're light and durable with attention to detail candy wrappings i honestly think if you walked in your honolulu apple store(s) and picked one up that you'd be impressed with the design.. [wether or not you'd like OSX, well, that's a different story ] and hey, you even get a little feel good music/soft voice type of description of the manufacturing process!

    @solo said: Do not make the background 0.0.0 lighten it a tiny bit. So first go back to white (so they turn black again) then make it 0.0.1 and the lines will stay black. use RGB selection Well, that was easy. I never thought of that. Thanks, Pete. Regards, _KN

    @liam887 said: well then hopefully some of the ruby guys could write a little file browser to use within sketchup that would be great! That's a nice idea, but I don't think it would work, because the code has to be written within the app itself. It would probably be best just to badger Google more for an update in SU9.

    Dear John, The .sat file was created using AutoDesk's Inventor 11. If you want to weld the 40 segments of the circle, then soften the group first. After softening, Chris Fullmer's tool for finding the centre point can be used. Also note, the SU model needs to be scaled by 0.01 (I forgot to do this before posting). Hope this helps. Regards, Bob

    It's not the nesting, the component bends perfectly on my system. Select the component, hit the bending tool, select the straight line on the red axes, it should turn blue, then select the curve, it turns blue. Wait a bit and you get the blue and green formers, when they are the way you want, hit enter. And wait. [image: QNxd_Bent.JPG]

    Not sure if this helps, but I have been using SU on an external hard drive for a few years now. When I reconnect the drive, I often have to go into the drive directory to use the application (as opposed to the start menu) but otherwise it works just fine.

    I would indeed suggest some online things (especially if he is so busy). In Skype, it is easy to share windows (screens) and should he have any problems after watching those tutorial videos, he could still get some help with his issues. (BTW - ThomThom has a birthday, guys!) [image: xEWL_ScreenShare.png]
