    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 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.

    Thanks all for your ideas. I gave up and decided it was more trouble than it was worth to do a SU model and try to match it with the bad photo. I just added plants, grass and trees in photoshop. It seemed very difficult getting the results I wanted in the time that i needed. Photoshop was quick and was ok for what the client needed. I need to get better at photo shop;). In any case I have attached my result. [image: 2BMq_IMG00007t-3copyMedium.jpg]

    And how about sending .kmz files to your client? I bet Google Earth has a lot more users than SketchUp.

    @bmccall17 said: ...Now, how does it affect multiple images? Does this only apply to the image face that I am working with? It will always scale the whole context you arte in. Like Chris says (as he's just beaten me); when you are NOT in a group (i.e. in the "whole model"), the whole model will be scaled. If you only want to scale certain objects, group them first > edit > and scale it inside their editing context. It will only scale whatever is inside the group/component.

    SU 7 .kmz should be the same as SU 6 .kmz, as it is the google earth format, which hasnt changed recently, as far as im aware. Another thought: might be worth trying exporting as .3ds or some other format, unless you need .kmz to preserve some aspect of the file.

    @unknownuser said: Does your above mentioned dxf file arrive as a 3d entity when you use the version 12 export, when exported in plan view? Do you have to export using an isometric view? Yes, always as a 3d entity, independent of view. @unknownuser said: although I first thought that having each wall for instance as an individual component a pain, Once I have the walls on their own layer, I usaully explode them all and reform them all into one new group, leaving the windows in their own individual groups/components. Same with the entities that form the roof...explode em and reform into a single group

    Question about adding details?

    if your aim is straight SketchUp export with edges switched on, it makes sense to keep the detail reasonably low (set yourself a limit of e.g. 5cm and never draw anything smaller than that, if possible). and then, as the others said, keep the same level of detail throughout the whole model. if you go for rendered images, as Gaieus said, the more detail the better, because you won't have any lines and therefore you won't have the problem of too many lines creating one dark mess in the distance. silver_shadow just mentioned his 2 million polygons model. I guess he referred to his 'eye candy 2' model. thats a perfect example, how high detail is beneficial for rendering
