    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!

    Juju just send me a message with a link to the drivers I refered to ealrier: @unknownuser said: The drivers I was referring to are available from OmegaDrivers, it seems as though they have drivers for both ATi and nVidia these days. I remember when I had my Radeon ATi 9800 Pro 128MB (it was a few years ago) these drivers helped to speed things up, I can't think that things have changed much in assessment. How much they will help with SU, I don't know. However the drivers were always well optimised and stable. Hope this helps! perhaps these can be of use for you...

    What I wouldn't call a bug but a "featuer" I don't like is that when you explode something whose geometry on a certain particular layer, it will move that geometry to the layer active during exploding. This may cause things disappear when you turn the visibility of certain layers off (where now there is your geometry that has never been there).

    Another interesting section animation I did showed 2nd floor of my house in perspective. Then I started moving the camera down and at the same rate moved the section plane down (from scene to scene). The end result looks like the section plane is stationary and someone is pushing the model up into the section plane where it dissolves. Ends up being pretty cool effect.

    These should help (from SU5...I don't know if you get the same warnings in SU6). This drove me NUTS when I first started! But the logic is sound: SU is saving you from accidentally drawing coplaner faces...makes you do some grouping on purpose. (There's another little bit of nightmare if you group an edge adjoining 2 faces with one of the faces, then put the group on a hidden layer...you can't draw a second visible edge over the hidden one: you'll have to move the group so SU draws it for you :`) [image: JnBE_Image1.jpg] [image: UjBx_Image2.jpg] [image: jcBQ_Image3.jpg] [image: PP6G_Image4.jpg] [image: KP4Q_Image5.jpg]

    Youcant import it directly in to SU, but from my very brief research you can import it in to blender, from there you should be able to export it as something SU can read, like 3ds.

    tancredi, if I understood your post correctly, you moved your camera, created an image export, then moved your camera again, creating another image export... if you want a simple movement, use scenes (windows > scenes) to set up some views. then you have to adjust the transition speed of the scenes (under View > Animation > Settings). and finally export the animation under File > Export > Animation (under options you can choose to export it as an image sequence...) if you already knew all this, I am sorry - shame upon me - but I mean to understand that you are looking for something simple.

    gaganraj, You're correct, this isn't the best spot! But to answer your question, SKUP doesn't have the viewport functions of AutoCAD, however, you can use the scenes function to flick between different views. In Window/Model Info menu, untick the "enable Scenes transistions" option in the animation section. Then in the Scenses tab, untick all the options apart from Camera location, then create a scene, move your position & create another. You can then start a command & flick between the views mid-command - try doing that in ACAD!

    @emmomac said: I also spotted the GE option in another post. Never even thought of that as an option Emmett, Is this what you're looking for? http://www.twharvey.talktalk.net/index.htm On this page click the Fly to button and the scene changes to the intended models. In this sample, there are five seperatem SU models that make up the whole package. Let me know if you need more info. Tom

    Hi Simon, I'm not sure what you want either. If you want to display an SU model, you can put models into a Google Earth window inside your web page. Once there you can use the GE Navigation Controls to move around the model in 3D. Have a look at the topic below: Google Earth Plugin at http://www.sketchucation.com/forums/scf/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=11115&start=0&st=0&sk=t&sd=a. If that's what you're looking for, you can see a sample of this at: http://www.twharvey.talktalk.net/index.htm Good luck, Tom

    THX to deathcloud and basic.woodwork for your replies. In fact, The SketchUp freeversion ist the most designed viewer, but I experienced that a lot of people facing such Images are quite disappointed when using 3D program. They have to learn first how it works. ( Let's remember our first try with Microsoft Office ...) That why a light viewer would given less pain... As far as the Avi is concerned , no possibilities to go deep into the model for technical explanations... Well; I can survive MALAISE
