    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!

    I dont really know a lot about BIM modelling, but from the sounds of it you could do what you want with dynamic components. Specifically, using the generate report function would probably be quite useful.

    The only problem with a SketchUcruise is that Coen is prone to sea sickness if I remember correctly maybe there are others. But the Med in Spring / Autumn is quite calm and on a big ship this is not a major problem. I DO think something could be organised along these lines and will work quietly way on it in the background. The main thing is that there is a willingness by a good number of Members to have a Conference. Mike

    Google doen't need to "approve" anyone to teach although there is an "Authorised Training Program" in which if one is included, can wear the badge of it and it says it is authorised by Google (so you teach in the name of Google). Generally local resellers run such programs but well... the quality may depend on the knowledge of the reseller / its employee. Certainly there are exceptions and also, to become an authorised trainer, you need to take some exam or what. However what about an educational institution? Would they then not be allowed to teach SU (in fact, Google encourages schools to teach SU).

    FYI, the suits were impressed--enough to purchase the Pro if we needed it. Funny though, I have now tested this by comparison and I was using the cut-down free version all the time (well, except for the first 8 trial days). I never noticed anything go away after the first 8 days so I assumed I was just living with Pro on borrowed time--that's a newbie for you! Anyway I'm concluding at this stage of our use that we can get along fine with the freebie version and wait to pick up Pro at a later date. Thank you all again for the help you gave me getting through this. We are taking the exported animation to a trade show next week, where I suspect it may draw some attention.

    Why not make a SU collaborative model that tells a story based on this kind of snobbery? It would be a cool 3D "exquisite corpse" told in several scenes.

    @unknownuser said: Not unless you haven't saved the original file. It would be under 'My Documents' if the autosave function saves it before you do... Ah yes. Didn't think of unsaved models. The location of that can be set under Preferences->Files->Models.

    Here is a very basic ruby that opens a CadYou page in IE. You can try editing it (simple text editor) to change the hyper link. If you change the ruby name, you must change its reference in the ruby. The plugin was written by the owner of the CadYou site where you can access his stuff. I have not tested editing his Ruby, use at you own risk. Btw, I've gotten some good stuff off the CadYou site. cadyou.rb

    It sounds like you have a Z-fighting problem. Meaning there are two faces occupying the same space. If this is the case you need to "cut out" the offending hatch. Do you have an image or could you upload the skp for us to look at?

    Yes, but as I said, it will slow down SU so eventully you will want to find better solution; a better card or n updated driver if your card is okay.

    At the moment it isnt possible to trigger a DC animation with scenes, although i believe it is on the wishlist. So no, you cant (easily) make components change relative to the scene. There currently isnt a way of inserting a video in to a scene, either, although i believe some of the ruby chaps are working on it. no guarantees, though. On to what DCs can do: essentially they let you give components parametric behaviours. Basically what this means is you can say to the component "If your x metres from the origin be blue." or "if your x metres high have y steps." Thats a pretty simplistic way of looking at it, but it should hopefully give you the right idea. You can always check out the 3d warehouse for some examples of DCs and what they can do. p.s. speed demon gai beats me to it once more.

    Well, HellFire, since we don't know if Kemon uses Windows or Mac, your solution for Mac is rather academical for us, puny humans with Windows (but at least what I wrote is not a "nonsense" for Windows and most probably for the person asked). So back to your solution; "of course you canNOT disable it if you HAVEN'T got the tools..." @unknownuser said: "The next time you think something cannot be done. Think again." Good; the next time I'll think of asking you first. (Thank God this is not a Mac-Hack forum... ) On the other hand, I could (should) be glad that I learnt something new - and I generally am...

    Not that I know of, but someone else might. But what you can do is install the film and stage plugin, then create cameras at each scene. Then copy and paste those cameras into other models as needed. That works pretty good as a workaround. Chris

    I don't know the script (never used) but I can imagine the default video is hard coded in it (it also says "beta").You an open the script in a plain text editor like Notepad and have a look if the link to the video is somewhere inside.
