    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!

    Sure, turn the window into a component. Now begin to move it (along the green or red axis). Then hold the shift button down. Now it will force inference to that axis so you can moveover to the other side of the house and align to the far window. Its that easy. Chris

    @ThomThom: Not only see, but draw on them. As Chris's 3 lines tool allows. I am in modeling mode at this time, not doing any rendering, where your tool would be very useful.

    This combo works for me: Release all buttons. Click middle button down (orbit) then the left mouse button gives you the Hand icon. If you have the middle button down (orbit) and then push the left button down gives the Hand icon. If you start with the left down and then press the middle you get the Orbit. This is on my Mac, YMV.

    Dear all A few weeks passed, I quit my job, finished maternity leave, and am now ready for the reality of it all. And then I remembered the post I made, and thought I'd just check if anybody had answered... I'm overwhelmed, thanks to everybody who took time to give me their opinion, post links etc. For now I think my plan is to continue with SU + Illustrator/InDesign, and maybe look into a rendering program (or SU plug in?) -I don't know if I dare ask for recommandations? (Dont want to start another Mac/PC battle I was quite hit by the 'who cares how you get there' advice. I know my things look good and easy to understand when I present it, so I'll keep my head up high and continue with SU. (That said, I've written down all the software proposed in this tread, and I'll give every one a quick glance to see if I missed something.) Thanks again for your time and wished for the future - we'll just have to hope, that the smart people who says to me that 'recession is exactly the right time to start a company' are right..... Best regards to you all, Lene

    Thanks, I always forget to check the SU website for stuff like this eventhough it makes perfect sense to look there first.

    Hi folks. If the object being measured is not exactly up to the precision of what you specified in your Units, you will get this ~ (approx.) symbol. For example, if you specify 0.0 mm and the object measures 3.001 mm, you will get this ~ symbol. Just push the precision to more decimals (3 in this case). Even if you did not enter such numbers, dividing a line or generating curves, for example, can lead to such numbers. Just ideas.

    This is slightly off topic and a bit confused, but I was making some bump maps using a sharp-edged black map and it actually punched through the image (jpg) and of I remember right the resulting image cast shadows. When I have a moment I will redo the experiment and post the results if , indeed, that is what happened.

    As far as I can remember, SU 6 Pro imports & exports DWG/DXF. As for the SU animate, I think there is a 10 day evaluation version.
