    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!

    Thanks baz - I think somewhere in that long thread is the answer I'm looking for, and this is my starting point (I'm quoting from the thread) - "while on the subject of helping out vray, vray SR1 creates vray materials of all materials in the scene even the materials on lines (multi-coloured from CAD imports) could there also be a script to remove all materials from lines? that way vray wouldnt create any unnecessary materials" Only after reading that comment did I realize that the two offending lines only exist in the original CAD file.

    That is what I was afraid of. Thanks for your help. Unfortunately I am trying to find a job based in part on my ability to model in SketchUp so I may need to invest in the home desktop/media centerI've been wanting. I've always been supporter of Nvidia over ATI anyway. Thanks again!

    Thanks for the heads up Mike. I'm assuming it's all live in person training....are there webcasts also? Personally, they seem like another company who started doing vis-work, mediocre vis work at that, then the recession hit and they decided to go to plan B. I'm not that impressed by their portfolio and I doubt spending $500 would teach me more than 2 or 3 hours on youtube could. Just my opinion.

    I already covered this for 3D trees in V-Ray last week. http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=79&t=20102 It's the same for cut-outs.

    If you question was about how to round quickly the corners of 2d shapes then you can use the "2d fillet" plugin that you can find here http://www.ohyeahcad.com/download/. Select all the shapes you want than just input a fillet radius.

    I think speed vs. size of model is very important. For large models bring down space navigators speed (most of the time I have it on the 3rd or 4th tick). Oh, and my first klick after opening sketchup is on Camera Mode. Flying around is 100x easier for me this way. Like MuseumMaker said, you'll never ever want to model without it once you get used to it.

    Here is an example (made with RP Tree Maker suggested by Chris above). Load it directly into your SU application (if you browse the warehouse from SketchUp) otherwise if you download it as a file and import it like that, you have to explode the outer shell first. I hope it's not a too complicated description - if you have problems with it, I can rephrase.
