    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!

    Hi Hannsen, I'm so sorry that I didn't respond to you earlier. I started a response, but I must have forgotten to hit "Submit". There is one more thing I can think of to try. In addition to deleting the com.google.sketchuppro.plist, could you also delete the com.AtLast.sketchup.plist (assuming you have one). Does that help? If not, contact the technical support folks at Google using http://sketchup.google.com/gsu6/support.html. Are you, by any chance, using a localized version of the product? I guess that could be another potential source of the problem. Best, Tricia

    Thanks, Pilou, I tried the Ruby on a couple of the stones in the model and it looks like it will work pretty well. I may have to experiment a bit to get it just right. Thanks again, Tom

    Are you printing straight from SU or are you creating an image file from the model first? I suggest you create a image file (Jpeg) and then you can check the text size on the image

    Remus, sometimes you should read more carefully. (<-Wicked wink) Ken probably knows how to assign shortcuts - what he is aking is how to import them! (Sorry Ken - I have no ida, I'm on PC)

    @hazza said: @hazza said: Then right click again -> Rotate - > 90 (or 270) .... and if you have multiple faces that need rotating: click off the face so that the coloured pins disappear but the face is still selected, click the "eye dropper" in the materials dialog box, sample the rotated face, click any other face that needs it's texture rotated. ...and here I have been using Sketchup since 2002 and I never knew! I could have saved so much time in the past. This program rocks (usually)!! Thanks for this.

    if I remember well, the width and heigth of your frames must be multiplies of 4: this means that the codec can compress a 800 x 600 PX video, but not a 807 x 603 one. Some codecs require a multiply of 8. I'd use a DVX or Xvid codec: they allow you fast compression and good quality. [/matteo]

    @watkins said: Dear Paris, I would draw my square and make it a group. I would then draw my post/spindle at one corner of the square and then make it a component. I would then move and copy the post the required spacing, and then use *N to repeat the move/copy N times. Lastly, I would rotate/copy the array around the centre of the square to complete the four sides. Rotate 90 dgrees first, and then enter *3 to complete the square. Regards, Bob Thx Bob, It didn't occur to me to rotate within a square.

    It is too bad that we can't snap to end and mid points with just faces showing. This on its own with display of lines not connected to mesh, could be a mode that would be very Open GL friendly.

    Interesting Thomas, One would think that if it works for Poser, a similar way could be found for sketchup. But what about Vista (and its 64 bit versions)?. Vista has the 3B switch 'on' by default, but in a global way, not per application... I am not having the impression that SU is large adress aware in Vista neither (=I experience the same crashes as I used to have using XP 32 bit when exporting large SU files to a render engine).

    Zoom Window was in the toolbar in previous versions but has been moved to the Camera Drop down - but is there any way to add it back to the Toolbar - so much easier than keyboard or drop down? Thanks, Chuck

    @ geh Of course I have used Soap Bubble I retake the lines of Modelhead As Plot-Paris said Bubble Soap must have closed lines So you must trim your boat for have some parts closed Here I have added a vertical line The blue line is closed! When a part is Soap Buble made, make the same for the contiguous part etc... For easy use put each part on a different layer View top is not helping for the concept As you see I had skiped the second horizontal line! [image: bpBp_concept.jpg]
