    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!

    @unknownuser said: Ah the good old days of pin bar drafting and mylar and rapidiograph, and sepia although I don't miss the smell of sepia eradicator...I'm sure that stuff killed a few brain cells of mine. I found out that the active ingredient in the eradicator was acetone. We quit buying the expensive special purpose eradicator and went to the paint store for our mylar eraser. And, we opened windows. Otherwise, everyone used Exacto knives for small corrections.

    In the past I've used terragen and 3dem to help make importable TIN files too. Didier has also written a greyscale.bmp importer that will import a greyscale bmp file in as a 3d terrain mesh. I think there are lots of exciting fun things to do in the TIN area of SU. I have not used global mapper before though, I should like to check it out. Thanks for the info on it Charly, Chris

    Help - overlapping planes created by dividing a face

    I've been getting this a lot the method I've been taking is to delete the face I'm dividing then draw the dividing lines in, then selecting each subface to remove any extra faces using the delete tool. at times I've had 4-5 stacked faces that I've had to remove before I started doing the above. oh and an easy way to find stacked faces other than the Xray face mode (stacked faces show up darker) is with the paint tool.. if a face won't paint, it's stacked...

    This is really strange, indeed. Can any of your keyboard keys (or mouse button/wheel) be stuck?

    Oh, good. I "hoped" the answer was going to be so simple (you can imagine I've made this mistake myself so that's where I know it from)

    I was working on something like that. But it wouldn't update automatically - you'd have to make it recalculate again. But it's ended up in the back-burner for the time being due to other projects taking priority.

    In Style Builder you're limited to stroke widths of 6, 16, 32 or 64. You can make up to 10 strokes for any given length. You could try drawing some narrower strokes and adding them to the template. An alternative if you want your lines to show thinner is to export the images at a higher resolution.

    Baking is a generic term used whenever you save out some data on a model. In graphics, Baking can mean Lightmaps (like LightUp uses) or it can mean saving lighting to vertex colors (as you can do in Maya), or saving out skinned weights for an animation. The general gist, is taking some 'ingredients' (aka parameters) and 'baking' (aka applying some process) that saves just the end result eg LightMaps, Vertex colors etc. Adam

    it is a buffer overflow in the code that checks the .skp file (Sketchup, Layout, the thumbnailer in Explorer) the idea is that you can run arbitrary code by looking to a malicious .skp file I tried the .skp that should trigger the buffer overflow but I got only "Unexpected file format" error message. Google is notified about the problem and a fix should come in the next update (after current 7.0.10247)
