    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!

    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.

    I have to say that I am glad to learn that the sketchup devs do frequent this forum - as someone mentioned earlier this is severely lacking from the giants. The ultimate responsiveness would be the developers of Cockos Reaper (music production software). They are active on the forums and respond quite quickly in terms of developing features or at least explaining why they will be focusing on something more important. Suspect that this sort of answer would at least let Solo know when they might address this or if as suggested it is too big a task for the foreseeable future Regarding blender, ah yes.......I have downloaded and installed and uninstalled. Did manage to follow a tutorial that allowed me to turn a sphere into a heart and then do a basic render. Just that sketchup would introduce some decent animation path functionality. Took a look at Truespace (but since they no longer offer a format converter to bring in and export CAD friendly files.......) but man they have nice camera tools......

    You can use Global Material Change to apply another material to all entities with a specified material. http://www.sketchucation.com/forums/scf/viewtopic.php?f=180&t=13192
