    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!

    @dave r said: Did you catch the thing about the Tag tool? I did, but I have not found much use for it yet. But my models are typically not very complex. The way I use Sketchup is more reliant on repetitive tasks and a workflow based on muscle memory to speed the task of doing solar panel layouts on existing residences brought into 3D space from flat imagery. That's why the axis issue was such a hassle for me. A decade of doing things the same way is hard to change. I currently have over 6,000 Sketchup models created using the same repetitive process (except for the last infuriating change with the Add Location window that added at least 6 keypresses or clicks to my prior workflow). These changes have real implications for people. Software engineers sometimes don't consider how changes might affect users. But on balance, the continued development of SU and the addition of features over the years has been great.

    You need to install the latest version of the SketchUcation Toolset [from the PluginStore/ExtensionStore³] - then restart SketchUp to ensure everything syncs... The SketchUcation Toolset [>=v4.2.5] will add the latest licensing system... Also ensure that you have the latest version of the Fredo Lib installed...

    What Dave said! I see you are using Curviloft.You should try something like this. It creates a little depression where the connecting curves are placed but overall looks ok. [image: xY2V_test01ED.jpg]

    Hi TIG, thanks for the orientation. Since I am a neophyte in sketchup programming, I will need more a step by step help. If you could give the code to copy in ruby and specify where to put the Z value to select component. Is it made for edges or faces selection only or a whole component can be selected. Does it select all components above or under the Z value or the component that are on this coordinate? Thanks for more information, sorry not to catch at first pitch! S.

    I had to ditch a LOT of older CAD stuff to make way but I finally got UE5 installed. It looks extremely powerful considering the price point and there is a definite effect to be felt in the industry when the dust settles but that has been asked before so maybe little will change. Habit rules us as much as anything else.

I'll poke Anton and see if he will update it so it is included. But Fredo's stuff and my Pie for SketchUp are. So if you purchase and validate a license for any of Fredo's stuff it will show up. ... what I purchased does not show up and I can't purchase any new, because I don#t use paypal Thanks anyway.

    @mike amos said: I had previously installed as admin What exactly does that mean? You signed into Windows as the administrator? Or did you right click on the installer and choose Run as administrator from the Context menu? @mike amos said: Despite this pluigin being installed and looking at View - Toolbars, nada. Does the Extension Manager show it is installed? Did you try restarting SketchUp after installing it? @mike amos said: I might give it another go but frankly I went through the whole procedure five times and nada. There has to be something wrong in the way you installed SketchUp 2022 or it would have worked. I guess it's all moot though since you've decided to stick with 2021. Best.

    Don't copy your extensions from an older installation of SketchUp unless you enjoy chasing loading errors. Some extensions require the proper installation method, some need to be updated to run in the new SketchUp version. Best to install them fresh from their sources. If you used the Sketchucation Extension Store tool to install extensions from here, install it first. Open it up and sign in. Then click on the gear icon at the top and go to Bundles. You can install the latest versions of the extensions in your bundle automatically without having to search for them all.

    @juju said: I'm curious, why would SUPro2022 ask for a Classic License when it no longer supports it? There are some special cases in which SketchUp 2022 can be opened using what looks like a classic license. They don't sell those licenses of course but they can generate them for outside parties such as beta testers.

    a variation - once you have the "wires" laid out, ctrl-a to select all lines - examine the length in your entity info, then create a component with the name like "elec_wire_256" for 256 inches (or whatever your base measure is. round up then when you run the report the wire components are listed in a grouping and the various lengths. i also include wire type/size such as "bx12-3" or "nm14-2", etc as part of the name... so "elec_wire_" + "bx12-3_" + "256" then i can readily parse it into a spreadsheet by splitting on "_" underscore.
