    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.

    Then there is the CentrePoint plugin from Smustard that will create a guide point for you. Select the circle, Plugins -> Set center point, then dimension to the guide point.

    It's quite odd that Google hasn't pushed this more but maybe they are watching for a while to see how it works... Or they are just implementing this "routinely" now for all their online services... Or - and that's where my earlier comment came from - they are going to make this a major part of SU7 (direct synchronizing and versioning - and maybe other "social" features) and are waiting for an announcement there... Or maybe there's just an innovation-fatigue with Google where people just don't notice all the new features anymore...

    In the meanwhile, Jakob (Plot Pris) has also joined as a collaborator. I also made some changes - there were some typos in the description - see the history page how it records the revisions [image: qJWB_ScreenShot019.jpg]

    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

    camionero266- If your issue was that you couldn't get your .skp thumbnails to show up, pleas look at the end of my last post. I got it to work, and it's not hard to fix it. http://www.sketchucation.com/forums/scf/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=13097

    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
