    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!

    Yeah, they don't have a centimetre template to begin with so I am already used to start with this every time I encounter a new SU version (BTW have you seen the new SU version? )

    Yup - practically you can use a (single) license on any number of computers - just of course, not simultaneously. Network licenses are indeed "tricky" from this point of view (but I understand you use a single license anyway)

    I cannot say for sure, but traditionally, colons and semicolons are not "legal" characters to use in file names. Anssi

    I found a way - just open the component for editing and then draw the guides inside that component, close it and then paste

    The thing is the format, while relatively new, is used by some of the biggest 3d users in the world. I'm not talking about 3d visualization as is common here. I'm talking about Boeing, Siemens, Intel and the likes for sharing their huge amounts of 3d data.

    If you don't plan to render it, you can use Morisdov's "Video on a SketchUp face using textured material": http://morisdov.googlepages.com/

    @anssi said: @unknownuser said: SU seems to be very persnickity about drivers too. May be that when you try 6 or 7 that it might help to update your video card driver as well. On the other hand sometimes the newest drivers aren't the best so if that still doesn't help you can post to see who else has your video card and see what driver they're using. -Brodie My other PC has an old ATI All-in-Wonder card with a driver I downloaded when I bought the card. I wouldn't dream of upgrading the driver that has now run all SU versions from ver.3 OK (if I keep Fast Feedback off). I have tried to keep the "if it works, don't fiddle with it" rule. Anssi If you're one of the few lucky folks who's got an ATI card running SU with any degree of stability then I'd say you're spot on to leave it the heck alone! You've got someone up there looking out for you -Brodie

    problem solved... Michalis was so kind to explain to maybe. I was a bit wrong about OBJ not supporting uv maps. I'll explain the workflow quickly here for people who are intrested: unwrap your object in Modo. make an texture in gimp/photoshop. apply it in modo. export to OBJ. import in blender. export as 3ds in a different folder with the texture in the same map. Remember 3ds files can only contain 3-5 letters. import into SU

    Hm... Tom, you are still using version 5 if I am correct... In SU 7, these are the (bit easier) steps: First of all, make the one tree component you want to change unique (otherwise all will change). Right click and make unique. Now edit the component and right click on the face that has the image you want to change and again, make the texture unique now (note that though you have a unique component already, it shares the same image with the original instances). Now right click the face again > Texture > Edit texture image. This will open the image in an external editor (you can define in Preferences > Applications) and you can paint it whatever you want. Upon saving the image, it will instantly reloaded/updated in SU. Note that above I mentioned "faces". If inside the component, anything is in nested components/groups, you will need to enter as deep as to get to single faces.

    I'd try to turn off hardware acceleration in Window > Preferences > OpenGL for a test. Your SU would not be faster for sure but if your video card/driver has anything to do with this, that would indicate it.

    Not bad. I can do about anything with 3ds so that's good. That's interesting that it can import RAW format. Any idea what that's for? -Brodie
