    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.

    @jean lemire said: To copy objects, why not use "Copy" (CTRL-C) on the objects in one file and then "Paste" (CTRL-V) in the other. On the PC you can open more than one instances of SU at the same time. Bonjour Jean, This technique works great. I never thought about it even though I use the copy/paste all the time with other programs. Merci and have a terrific day! _KN

    From my experience, printing a 300 dpi A0 format takes ages. I would suggest to start with a 150 dpi A0 to reduce sizes and problems.

    I know this is a very old thread by now, but I have found a way getting round these limits and exporting at any size you want. It is here in the Tutorial forum: "Exporting 2D graphics with NO size limit" http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=26527 I have also posted a second tutorial on exporting Alpha masks for your 2D exports. "Creating an Alpha mask of your model for 2D graphic export" http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=26530#p228664 Bon appetit! David Mac

    http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=323&t=23725&hilit=+Whaat read this post for better uv mapping in SU. This is as good as it gets I'm afraid. But others use Blender to achieve desired results as it's uv mapping is highly recommended. I've no experience with Blender yet but intend to check it out soon. I feel your pain though

    Not really, its a good idea to keep all entities of your model grouped in case you need to edit them later. For example, you may decide to change that simple profile for a different one down the road - if its grouped just delete the group and draw the new one, if its not grouped, you have to delete every line of the old profile before drawing the new one. Grouping also will make it easier to texture and organize your model, especially important as your models get more complex...

    Any idea how I would use component spray in that way? Let's say I have cylinder that I want to scatter some components inside of. I can select the cylinder and do a spray by selection, but that won't distribute the components inside the cylinder will it?

    I guess that was clipping. Also, I have added you to the French UG so you can now see and post in the French Forum (you can sign up for any usergroups in your User Control Panel somewhere at the top left).

    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.
