    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!

    Ah yes, I've seen it (also posted in the CB about it). Tell me about a project like this; after all I'm an archaeologis (on top of all; specilised in Roman age). I have already digged up the contact details of the leader of the projet and will email him immediately (just trying to find my words after the shock)

    Yes, it is true and it should work. Im not sure where youd be able to get a download though. Id guess your best bet would be here, or possibly the google groups forum. You might have to be careful about 'pirating' it though, as it was a commercial piece of software.

    @x3voodoo said: Hello there. Escuse my english, but i am romanian. I have two problems. Please help me. First one: Why, when i want to make a surface doesn't work, or is working but it's making just a half of the surface, like in this picture. And the second problem, how can i zoom to be very very near of the project (house), because i cannot approach to see if there is another line(bad one). ? Thank you very much and please help me. I think you are off square.

    Ehaflett and Susan Thanks for the very quick reply. I now have what I want, the watermark on each scene. Now, I wonder why that was not in the help files. Anyway, thanks again Ken

    all I can tell you is following: make a group with your walls, and edit your insulation outside the group. While your group won't change, you will be able to edit the thickness of your insulation material - I suggest you to use the joint pushpull ruby to save a lot of time.

    @sorgesu said: Flip. right click on the object you wish to click ( assuming it is a group or component, otherwise select it all first and then right click) look for "flip along" and choose the flip axis direction from the sub menu Right click does it 4me. thx.

    I suggested this approach a long time ago... It's basically the same as WebExporter, but for Blender and exports the camera at different altitudes as well. WebExporter could be expanded to do a lot of different animations; such as shadow studies and panoramic animations.

    Voder, Your excellent example gave me an idea. Wouldn't it be great to have a ruby to do the first part of your example. It seems logical enough. Two shapes: divide the first one in sections. Create a scaled slice with the second shape... Could this be done. It could even skin it for you afterwards. Peter

    it is a bit long winded. but you can right click a component and "save as" a seperate SketchUp file. then you can check the file size. doesn't make sense of course, if you have lots of components in your model

    This is a great book. Can't say I've mended my ways, but at least I know more about the problem. It has exercises and, if I ever get around to it, they might help....

    Hmmm, doesnt sound like it should b overly troublesome. Might be worth trying to export as tiny jpegs to see if it is just running out of memory, because it might be something else. The problem is, SU cant address more than 4GB of RAM, even if youve got it. So upgrading your RAM wont actually help. Youll need to find a workaround, if the memory is the problem, of course.

    Yes, that's definitely a solution however not very "economic" with component instances.

    I wonder how many other people have this problem. Some guy's seem to be luckier than others;) But this is very frustrating and I consider my self an expert in sketchup. Please save us SU 7. Sketchup doesn't play by it's own rules in this regard.
