    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.

    Generally the big wite cursor issue is a graphics issue. Try changing the setting within SU to turn off hardware acceleration or something like that. You might also update your drivers if Mac's let you do that kind of stuff.

    Coulter already found it, but I thought I'd put a link here for anyone else interested. I have a pretty basic plugin found here: http://www.sketchucation.com/forums/scf/viewtopic.php?f=180&t=17507 which does this. It scales either uniformly or randomly within a specified min/max tolarnce. And the user specifies if the scale should happen from the center of the component, the compnent axis or the world [0,0,0] center. I'm also working on a "component base" option which will be the center of the bottom of the component (for people who do not accurately set the axis of their compnents). Chris

    You don't want refractions. That only works for glass and transparent materials. As for reflections, there isn't a set rule for this . It all depends on the material you want to simulate. Got any specific example? Screenshots? In general, all materials got some kind of reflection, often it's a very glossy type. Adding a very glossy reflection can some times be enough to make it pop it little as it picks up a little bit more of the surrounding lights.

    @teezer said: If that happens again, turn on hidden geometry and the edges should show up... Not necessarily... Some times things can get messed up. I experienced this yesterday when I tried to make a plugin which converted all components and nested components to groups. A coding bug caused 'ghosted' geometry to appear. (Sang) without any lines and without any means of selecting it. When I tried to clear the scene by making a new model SU crashed on me. So when using plugins or importing other formats, basically when stuff is being generated, there is a possibility things get really messed up.

    well all i really figured out is that faces, groups, and components all can be textured, but i would still like to be able to have a projected texture in a group or component!

    Ah, you mean scaling it "sideways" in this case? I was only doing it in the direction of the wall thickness in this case (as the original examples were about it as well).

    I accidentally made a group using a very questionable method in ruby which resulted in no style being applied to it. When I tried to save the model, it told me there were errors that needed to be fixed and then it promptly crashed su I took a screenshot at work Chris

    I don't know why... what I've done is before trying to reinstall the SU, reinstall the fonts. I just took them all off the folder, then installed them back again. (took a few minutes, but ok) Windows restarted, Done! Is working fine now... Thanks guys!

    Did you try to import the revised blocks manually?. When I need to update a component, I just delete it in the SU model, then import the dxf block, The blocks come into SU as components. Make sure that the coordinate system, and scale options are the same in both applications.

    @sceyefeye said: ...haven't tried this, but what about putting on an turned off layer? That works. When you import a Google Snapshot, the 2D Snapshot image and the 3D Terrain are also locked and placed on their respective layers and the terrain (by default) is hidden. The Toggle terrain button changes their visibility but you can also do it manually.
