    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 for confirming. From the model already intersected, I couldn't tell 100% sure (as I mentioned above).

    I did it by hand. I just made one full coil, then copied and pasted it to make a full series of coils. I've never tried any of the helix rubies. They do seem useful though, Chris

    Hi folks. SU cannot close a face when one side is less than 1 mm approx (1/16 inch). Of course, with a 4 mm diameter sphere you will end up with very small facets and these will not close. Simply pretend that your sphere is 400 mm in diameter and then, after you have drawn it, scale it down by a factor of 0.01. Just ideas.

    When V-Ray 2 comes out with Proxy objects this will be very nice. Though, without proxy rendering this would be too much for a scene unless the scene is only a couple of them shrubberies. I really can't wait for VfSU2 so I can use models like that. It looks really good!

    Thank you, I found them. I did take the steps to select the texture in the tool pallette then try to edit it. They still weren't there. I then, uh um, extended the top half of the palette and found them there. Sometimes it so simple, yet so far away. I figured all options in that section would have been displayed. They have been before. They just, just disappeared. Thank you for your advice. Z

    Ah, the old SU6 bonus packs are available. I needed some of the very low poly cars for some quick and dirty sketching.

    When youve got the brush out you can replace every instance of a texture in your model by holding shift when you paint a surface. Im not entirely sure how it would work with textures within a component, though, so you'd have to do a little playing around.

    It is a good idea, and will be put to use. Something like the following is how it might fit into what I have already: Animation.add('fog', start_value, end_value, duration (frames or seconds), easing_function) Animation.add (...) Animation.play

    @tig said: ...If you redraw one edge that's next to the rogue edge that extends into the face you will make a face. If you redraw one edge that's NOT next to the rogue edge that extends into the face you will NOT make a face. Yes, I remember these "rules" (now). Always good to remember.

    @unknownuser said: You could setup different scenes that have the axis set differently in each scene. If you uncheck all the options for each scene but the model axis, your scene buttons will do nothing except change the model axis. Interesting use of scenes - nota benissima
