    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.

    You should contact Sketchup's Sales department and have them give you the full information. https://help.sketchup.com/en/contact-support/sales-question/form I do know of many people who have taken them up on their offer.

    Well, at least in SketchUp, hard coded shortcuts override user set shortcuts. Whether it should be that way or not, it's always been that way and probably won't change any time soon. It certainly won't change in SketchUp 2017. which your profile says you are using.

    Well, if I remember correctly, you can turn off Hardware Acceleration in SU's OpenGL Preferences although that option was removed at some point.

    Hi - To add one ore more files (jpg, skp,...) press "Post a reply" directly here as you have already done it so far. In the reply input window please scroll down a little bit and use the options shown in the added screenshot. (JPGs, for example, get displayed in your post as an image directly, while SKPs get only displayed as a file attachment then. Using the Preview button will show you the appearance of your post) By the way: if you post a SKP, please remember that it is useful to save the file back to a significantly older SKP version - this will allow significantly more participants here to help if necessary since not all members here use a new SkUp version [image: select a file.jpg]

    Someone had this same question recently. They were exploding the image after importing it, too. If you don't explode it, the image will show when the component is open for editing. I showed this as an example. [image: Screenshot - 12_30_2020 , 7_28_27 PM.png] It's puzzling to me that users feel the need to explode images after importing them. If it's not going to be used as a texture there's no need to explode it. If it is going to be used as a texture, it makes more sense to import it as a texture in the first place.

    Yeah I'm sure gtx 1050Ti does the job. I looked more into it and it seems you're correct. My Cpu's 3rd thread hangs around %80 and goes to %100 sometimes so that's probably the issue here. Anyways thank you

    WHAT THE HECK IS THIS? DOES PRO VERSION PRINT TO SCALE?

    There are simple steps outlined above to print to scale directly from SketchUp but why the heck would you do that if you have SketchUp 2021? It's a whole lot easier to do this with LayOut. In SketchUp, set the camera to Parallel Projection, select the appropriate standard view, zoom extents, and create a scene. Save the file. Open LayOut. Select the desired paper size. Insert the SketchUp model. Set the scale as desired. Drag the edges of the viewport if needed to show the entire model. Print or export to PDF. If you want better quality linework in your output, select either Vector or Hybrid render for the viewport before you export.
