    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.

    Correct. V8 is a lot faster because it's written in c++. *** Spoiler Screenshot below *** [image: 460.png]

    I had this happen while trying to save to a usb drive some time ago. Try a Save As on your skp file and see if it will overwrite the pre-existing file. Or, rename the file to something else. Close the program, restart the program and call up the new file with Open, and navigate in your OS folder hierarchy rather than from the MRU list at the bottom of the drop down. I am only trying to help. I have a feeling you already know the above procedure. Good Day

    I am a contractor and I have heard the term "gone off" before or in the more active and immediate sense "it's going off". I would say it is not even that uncommon. When it is used I would say it is taken to mean the concrete has achieved its initial set where the surface can still be worked to achieve a more polished finish but its liquid characteristics are gone. More often than not it is said with a bit of panic because there is more work to be done. I have lived in New England and the Southwest if that helps. I wouldn't think the term was out of place if I read it in the above context.

    Thanks, Chris and TIG. I think a quick change of the layer color in the DWG exported from SketchUp from within Autocad is the quick fix here. (Chris, you got the scenario just right).

    @tig said: Do you have lots of Materials or Components to be loaded into the browsers ? That will slow it down... Materials - just the standard install stuff, as I rarely do rendering, just splash a bit of color here and there. Can I get rid of or hide the stuff I don't use? Components - I think I have 2-3-4 of them in my template that opens when I start. Nothing crazy - a bunch of boxes (timbers).

    in Spanish the word "Maqueta" was used frequently. Although i went to school in the states and i am more familiar with the term partii, be it a model or a drawing as marvins_dad suggests, as the more common term.

    Oh, we are talking about different plugins. I was talking about my super simple sine curve plugin. I'm not sure what I'm going to do with the equation grapher. Many of my plugins need re-worked and I'm not finding the time or motivation to do it. It might be best to for me to take a few of them down, I don't know.

    I started out using TurboSketch n/k/a IDX Renditioner, and I thought it did a good job of rendering each image. It's a plug-in, so it's convenient and very easy to use and has a good support forum. But since my purpose is to create Flash animations, I would have to manually render each frame of the animation. Since I've gotten Twilight Render I have used that for my renders, since it will automatically render the animation frames based on the scenes in SU. It's also a plug-in and very convenient and easy to use, and has a good support forum.
