    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!

    There are many ways to create spheres these days as already demonstrated, but as solo mentions above, why not keep things simple and quick and use the ones which are provided for you in Components/Shapes.

    Just go to File > Export > 3ds....but then notice the Options button hiding in plain sight on the export dialog box. By default it's probably set to weld vertices. You'll need to change it to Preserve Texture coordinates.

    @tomsdesk said: In the "camera" pulldown menu you'll find the "standard" flyout menu...there are the "top" and 4 side views (you'll need to turn off "perspective" if you want a true 2d). Thanks.

    I don't know if the Omega drivers will solve the problem, however in the past when I had ATi GFX cards I only used the Omega Drivers, they're good and help to speed things up a little.

    Cinema 4D is a great program that can not only animate quite well, it can also render well too. It is a bit like max but I find it far easier to learn. I have not used it in a while (just have not needed it) but I would say it will work for what you are looking for and give far better results than any of the other recommendations. Granted it is a bit of change but I think in the long run it will be the right choice. Scott

    It sounds like the lines arent intersecting with the floor, although i could be wrong. To fix this, select all the lines, right click->intersect->with model. If that doesnt work could you psot a pic of the problem? it can be useful in sorting this sort of thing out

    I´ve had that issue on a macbook. No need to disable hardware acceleration, which makes things slooooow. Just disable fast feedback and your problem should disappear. cheers s

    I've got the latest drivers considered stable with my hardware and OS... I changed the fast feedback setting, at it helped immensely... it's at least usable now! Thanks!

    Is there a limit on how big SU can export (on any computer) then? Because surely as a 32 bit app it can only address a small bit of memory?
