    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!

    If you draw your line/do your offset/move your object, then after you've clicked to complete it type in the length of your line/offset/move distance and press return, that should do it.

    That's the "classical" clipping issue. Indeed, the model (physical) extent, like being far away from the origin is one of the main culprits - but there can be other reasons as well. Check out the link and possible troubleshooting/workarounds for the future.

    that is what I thought I did, I even saved the file, but for some reason, unknown to me, the scene gets corrupted, updated, modified, who knows what, it just is not what I know I had saved, and still am very uncertain as what I can do to in fact have a "saved scene". thanks for the insights and experienced perspectives. aloha red

    Doesn't SU understand them all? face.material = 255 # This is RGB integer here Blue face.material = 16711680 # This is RGB integer here Red face.material = 0xff # This is hex Blue face.material = "red" # Red by name face.material = "#ff0000" # This shows it as a 32 Bit Hex RED face.material = "#0000ff" # This shows it as a 32 Bit Hex BLUE Edit: Corrected color-names since the low Byte is Blue

    Thanks for the help with the workflow, guys. I'd heard of Sandbox but never found it. I searched the Forum and saw that it needs to be enabled through Preferences/Extensions, which I just did. I had assumed that when I was drawing on a flat surface the tools would select the surface, and was not orbiting to confirm. I'm having other problems that this doesn't seem to cover. I'll post another thread with the issues I'm having closing rectangular faces. Best, JIm

    @unknownuser said: If you are talking about the WallFraming in SU7...it is dynamic. Oh, wow, Thanks for the info. I haven't had a chance to investigate the "dynamic" component thingy. So what does that mean in relationship to the 0,0,0 issue? I'm not familiar with these yet. fitZ

    hmmm... I dunno about the sandbox tools, it's very limited IMO. If I was undertaking your project I'd use apps like Terragen, Vue or z-brush to sculpt the terrain accordingly. Alternatively if accuraccy is not an issue I'd use a contour map and use the sandbox 'from contour' option, then use SDS to smooth it (after cleaning as sandbox leaves a lot of additional geometry that needs trimming)

    as far as i know revit does not read sketchup textures or skm. files but you can add textures to revit using jpg. png. and bmp. You simply go to your materials and under the render appearance tab load a new image file into the program.
