    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!

    You should try with Curviloft´s skin. Look at the attachment to see how I make it work for your model. Daniel S twoarcs2.skp

    I'm not worried about the royalties, but I do expect to see "Illustrations by Box" in at least 72 point on the cover. [image: throlling3.gif]

    Thank you for your help again my friend, I really have an annoying issue here. @honoluludesktop said: ???? Maybe you need to rerun the SU8 install program as repair. Where are your component folders? My three (see the first image) are in: C:\Program Files\Google\Google SketchUp 8\Components I also pointed the "Window > Preferences > Files > Models" to the component folder. I tried pointing those preference files - re-booted- no change. This is my 3rd install of SU8, and in one of the installs, the component box had some files that were saved in the SU7 folder. I am on re-install #2 with no luck. Everything is in the correct folder. Btw: I wasn't able to run your video, what do I need on my side to do so? The video was made with Jing, a free capture program for stills and video. The pro version is $14/year and lets you save in MP4 as well as the default SWF. The forum won't allow MP4's so it is SWF. thanks again. Hope your animation problem gets worked out

    I know that problem that SketchUp "forgets" hidden/smoothed edges. It's annoying. Unfortunately I don't know a fix. It happened to me only in huge models and I decided to correct it only when it was absolutely finished. It also happens to the exported version to Kerkythea. Especially evil if you rely on the "wireframe" procedural (that shouldn't show on smoothed edges).

    It is possible to set the grid frequency much higher. In other words, select 2' x 2' or the equivalent metric, rather than 10' grid. And- without having used Sandbox in a while- can you not select the radius of influence or the inference points to fine tune the effect?

    I found out that the Sirion 2 originally sold as Toyota Passo. And on that subject I found this: http://www.turbosquid.com/3d-models/toyota-passo-3d-model/433411 But this model is not free and it seems like this model is not that realistic..the rear lights are huuuge comparing with the real one.

    Jim unless I have the wrong spot my suggestion is: turn hidden geo on; Use line tool and green inference to extend lines from bottom circle edges to the top face, use green inference; Connect the top edges and your faces will form. They did for me Attachment removed by mac1 9-2-01

    If all you need to do, is to change an image from 96 dpi to 300 dpi, most image editors will do so. Keep in mind that the physical size of the image will shrink accordingly. [image: L236_Temp04.jpg]

    Apparently the linking problem was related to group materials. After experimenting with diffent settings, it works fine now.
