    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.

    No, I made a mistake. Undoing it all revealed I did scale my change, in spite of thinking I had surely, surely, surely learned that one. Beg pardon.

    You can setup a layout file linked to multiple SketchUp files. Then when you have updated the files, you can re-render the images from Layout. You still have to set it up the first time, but then can re-use it as you update your SketchUp files.

    Can anyone help with this? I really don't want to remove SketchuUp from our College image because of this but so far cannot find a work around.

    Hi folks. Using the "Follow me" tool on this path that goes around and up and down will result in an unavoidable twisting of the facet. Using the "Follow and keep" plugin may help. Also, try to use an arc with as few segments as you can to minimise edges and face count. Three or four segments shall suffice to give a neat look. You may even try simply smoothing the edges at the interscetion of the two shapes to see if the "rounded" look may be sufficient. Just ideas.

    I've been investigating this further and have found that the problem can be reliably reproduced. I have submitted this to the Google forum at http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/sketchup/thread?tid=6b0a0298daee1261&hl=en At the above link I have posted links to SU files that can reproduce the error, as well as a YouTube video showing the bug in action. The work-around in my case seems to be to ensure that the component is in "edit" before using Project Photo (when using match photo). Hope this helps some others

    That's all you need to do; extract the files in the Plugins folder (make sure your XP OS does not create a "top level" folder for them; copy/move everything straight under the main plugins folder). After restarting SU, see if ShapeBender is enabled under Window > Preferences > Extensions. It also has a toolbar under View > Toolbars.

    It goes by file suffix, so if you have a .dae file in that folder it should list it ???

    Sorry, I was going to add a note about it but apparently I forgot. However Tom is perfectly right; this is not a well thought out poll as there are so many "other" options, too!

    What? Are you now converted to "No docked toolbar"? (Note that many suffers from toolbars rearranging the SU Window and this is a very cool way to stop that, too!)

    Yeah, 64 bit support could be beneficial for exporting (rendering, 2D export size limit etc). ATM I also often get to the limits of RAM when rendering/exporting really large images from inside SU.

    You should really look at annotating your drawing in Layout, that is one of the things it is designed for, where as Sketchup is not. You need SU Pro to have Layout. You can always download the 8hr trial version if you do not own it and wish to try it out.
