    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!

    Excelent, thanks, your technique worked wonderfully! I've already tried Terrain Reshaper, yes, but I had quite large terrains and it was unable to retriangulate it correctly. Thanks again!! Henrique

    I had a 3 year experience as computer graphic teacher from 1998 to 2001 with a mixed classroom of people with various handicaps. At that time we made a lot of webdesign and some 3d with Bryce 3D. Each man or woman has its own difficulties, there is not a general rule, but: I noticed that some tethraplegic students could work better with a trackball. In some cases we altered the mouse so that they could grasp it better; it is quite easy and cheap. If your man can not press well the mouse buttons, you can glue over them a small table-tennis (ping pong) ball. You also need a couple of rubber rings to put between the balls and the mouse buttons. A programable keyboboard for gamers, like the Belkin Nostromo, may work well beacuse you can split some functions over two hands: move the pointer with one hand and control the mouse buttons and wheel with the other. In the worst cases, we also used the Dragon Naturally Speaking software as help to input voice commands. Sorry for my bad English, I hope I didn't use rough or rude terms.

    Hi Brettina, These dialogs sometimes get stuk behind (or even under) the main SU window. You can try to make the SU window smaller (don't "minimize to tray" though) and move it around the screen to see if it's behind. If you cannot find it, try the following instructions.

    @remus said: ...The quadro cards are generally the best in this respect... yup @remus said: ...although quite pricey. in the meanwhile they have some cheapened models too as e.g. the FX370/570 starting at roughly 150-200 U$. hth, Norbert

    The higher the frame rate the smoother the animation, and the longer the render. waiting for the day instant render happens *

    I also agree for a code rewritten/optimization for sketchup first but honestly i don't really think that will happen any time soon because SU7 have just been released. So if any new tool will be released before a SU optimization, it should at least come inside the program and not by a ruby extension. Take the example of the new scale tool plugin from Fredo6. It's a great plugin that completly turns the sketchup scale tool absolete (for the ones that don't use DCs) but because it's a ruby it's much slower on larger geometries than the basic scale tool that it's part of the program and operates much faster. So as i said in SU8 whishlist thread before we get anything new we need optimization first.

    Yeah, by what you wrote, you should adjust your workflow a bit but I think it could be of much help and use.

    Absolutely, and thats why wI would love to be able to do all - Cad drawings to model to rendering in SketchUp. I often wonder why there seems to be some kind of protected turf when it comes to this.

    Yeah see?, it totally works differently. I generally prefer the outcome of the FOV tool in the camera menu because it tends to act how I want it to. Its easier to set up smooth scene transitions that way Chris

    I have to say, Google is so damn decent with their licensing - buying one license and being able to use them on many different machines (only one at a time) and all the other machines automatically switch back to the free version, when the license is in use. the same with network licenses for an office (so you only have to buy a few pro licenses, because for most modelling it is not necessary). that is absolutely fantastic. then free educators licenses and really cheap ones for students... that is absolutely fantastic!
