    @Rich-O-Brien Thanks Rich. Now I know that I can share the link with Fredo6 on the Animator thread so he can download the file and look at it (to hopefully identify the problem I have been having trying to generate a video). You might also try generating an Animator video and see what results you get.

    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!

    Thanks for getting back to me- sorry i haven't responded to the comments - been dividing my time between this and the new SU. My computer is a three year old Dell Inspiron 8600, 1 gig ram and Nvida VC. No problem with the windows account admin rights. The one thing in hardware that changed was I added a second monitor at about the same time I upgraded to the new SU version. I haven't taken the time to back track my steps and remove the monitor and then re-load the earlier version of 6 - hopes are to avoid this. As you experienced Hank, the setting work fine for a few times, then rearrange. I have saved the startup template several times. Very strange. I'll post any resolution to the problem, if found.

    Just as an aside, you can tell AutoCAD where to start a hatch by using the SNAPBASE command.

    Sorry, I misunderstood your question. The position camera command wants always to animate. For complex models, try wireframe mode, then switch back display after the camera move.

    I have already moved on and deleted the camera. If you go to the plugin page of SU and look at the bottom of the page you'll find it. Its in the old page also. If you get stuck let me know.

    Bert, The issue might be having the network adapters in your computer, not whether they are actually connected to anything. I once remember getting this message with SU5, on my XP laptop that also was not connected, but that had the adapters enabled. Anssi

    Anssi, I don't have to export when bringing a model into SU. I am using ADT 2004, for some reason when you import into SU it would go all skiewampus (that is the technical term) Don't know where I found this work around, but here it goes, hope you can understand it..... In ADT, set view to "top view" switch to "front view" back to "top view" then click the "undo" arrow then file, export to AutoCAD 2000 open SU import model and everything should be fine don't forget the OPTIONS button for settings Thanks for replying. I'll keep my ears out and let you know if I find anything.

    Yeah, that's what I meant in the "footie" of my first post. Although I seem to have reinvented the wheel with this topic, I don't mind for it keeps the issue hot while SU 7 is being prepared...

    Matte, sorry, I didn't get your e-mail until Monday morning and by then I was neck deep in brush fires. Didn't get a chance to look but I see you got it figured out. That's great and sorry about that.
