    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!

    Yes, this "when and where" to use SU work flow is the issue. I am assuming that these drawings were NOT done in SU/LO if so, this is what I would like to emulate, and do the detail key numbers "limk" to other locations on the model? aloha red

    my workflow : Import cad lines to adobe illustrator ... then select all, object/ paths/ simplify ... play with settings Export to dxf/dwg from adobe illustrator open the new cad file in autocad ... check the scale as it will probably open up in different units, or if you know a particular dimension then you can just scale them once inside sketchup with the tape measure tool

    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!
