    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!

    Copy with Move+Ctrl has functions above the Edit>Copy etc You can Copy with a base point by picking a start using inferencing and then typing in an offset, using axis locking (shift) etc etc. You can also multi-copy as an array using NNx or NN/ after making the first copy to set the number made after/between. Similarly Rotate+Ctrl make copies about a centre and again NNx or NN/ sets the number of copies after/between

    I'm not sure what the problem is, but doubt that it's just a simple SU bug. I was playing around yesterday with seeing what a basketball court looked like using stained wood rather than just colours for the markings...so I imported a number of versions of a very large scale wooden floor texture. each one was 2048 x 1024 pixels; and I had no problem at all...well other than SU resampling the texture to a lower resolution.

    thanks for the tip, not dumb at all.. actually is the first thing the getting started tutorial says but I never check it, and I think many others do the same, then we get all troubles with resizing textures

    I have a script called scale2face.rb that stretches selected components/groups up to touch selected faces above them - used for elongating columns etc up to the underside of sloping roofs etc etc... Here's a reworked version 'scaledown2face.rb' that scales them downwards... (c) TIG 2009 scaledown2face.rb Usage: Select face(s) & group/component-instance(s) located ABOVE face(s). Unacceptable selections produce error dialogs Pick 'ScaleDown2Face' off the Plugins Menu or type scaledown2face in the Ruby Console. The selected items will be scaled downwards [in the Z] until their CLs meet the face or faces. Any intermediate faces etc are ignored; the scaling passes through them. It has a one step undo. Version: 1.0 20091201 First Release [based on scale2face].For the Plugins folder...

    The flatten I used was a different flatten from Thom's script. I sovled the problem by editing the end points manually. I will have to try "tt-flatten" . Thanks Thom.

    Sounds like a one liner require_all("/any/folder") is all you need (defined in sketchup.rb.) But as TIG said, not all scripts are made to work from any folder.

    Do you use large or small icons on your toolbars?

    Hi folks. I use small icons to be able to fit more tools in less space. Being 56 do not means that I necessarily need large icons To choose the size of icons you can also use Menu Window --> Preferences --> Workspace. Just ideas.

    @eric_j said: @ All Actually, what StyleBuild could do is allow the user to generate architectural styles. Insert generic doors and windows. Click on "Colonial Style, and the windows are divided light double-hung numbers. "Mediterranean" and they're casements. "Ranchburger" gives you aluminum sliders with no casings. Etc. If it did that, it would be more than a dust collector, I think. Sounds like Dynamic Components are a good candidate for that.
