    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!

    File error recovery from using portable usb drive

    The file you shared is corrupted. Very likely there was a delay in writing to the USB drive. We've seen similar file format problems in the past when files are not locally (internally) saved. It seems to most often happen when saving to the cloud but I've seen it once in awhile when saving to a USB device. The .skb files are backup files that are normally created by SketchUp during autosave. If you can find them you could try renaming them to .skp and see if they will open. If they didn't get corrupted, too, they should open. It's rare that corrupted files can be recovered. Are you using SketchUp 2016 Make as indicated by your profile? Might be the sort of thing where the fastest option is to just get busy creating a new model. This time save it to the local drive and only copy it to the USB drive if you need to make it portable.

    You are not completely clear in your explanation... If you have two Graphics-Cards on your computer, then if you are currently set up to use the 'poor' one, then you need to open the NVIDIA Control Panel and ensure that SketchUp is set to use this better GC under 3d-apps, and also let SketchUp choose its own settings... Having had a major system failure and rebuild has probably meant that your computer's GC settings are set up wrongly...

    @gábor said: @alvis said: Maybe someone knows why I can't export to EDG3D. Version 2017-2019 does not work Hi Alvis, At the moment the EDGE3D server is down due to technical reasons. If it is important to publish your work with EDG3D, please send me your model by PM and I can set it up for you manually. Thank you for your understanding. Hi Gabor i just need to know if this is a temporary problem or if this project is planned to close. Why do I ask? my customers are very happy to be able to view the models in the browser. A very simple and easy process to share a 3d image instead of a model.

    You can access advanced camera settings in SketchUp on the PC and adjust the near and far planes manually. Experiment with those settings. You may be able to reduce clipping but you may also find you create worse problems for yourself. [image: 2u9E_Screenshot-6_5_20208_32_49AM.png] In the Ruby console type Sketchup.send_action 10624 And hit Enter Someone made a little plugin that adds an item in the Camera menu. I disremember who and they didn't put their name on it. Probably TIG is the one to thank. AdvancedCameraSettings.rb

    @tig said: ...What path does the Preferences show for template files ? Thanks Tig for your clarifications and these exactly reflect my preferences. For my custom templates I have set: C:\Users\MYNAME\AppData\Roaming\SketchUp\SketchUp 2019\SketchUp\Templates for the tempates directory. While these "annoying" templates had been actually located here: C:\Program Files\SketchUp\SketchUp 2019\Resources\en-US\Templates First and 0nly the complete deleting of all the original templates within the program path directory made them disappear from the welcome window.

    Hi, I am having the same problem using USGS DEM files from høydedata. I have tried converting them to UTC projection and save as ASCII dem files in 3DEM, but get the same result as filibis. I have also tried converting GeoTIFF from høydedata with the same method. Have you found anyway around this problem besides using Civil 3D?

But it's really useful.

    @mike amos said: You said "Preferable", not that it was essential. Is this your script? Have you self promoted? It's preferable because max 2020(21) came with a new skp importer which in some aspects was worse than the old one. However, I just can't predict all PEBCAK scenarios. How often do you use SU\Max combo? It's odd you are not familiar with this error (could be easily googled BTW). The plugin is it's not mine of course- I'm too dumb for scripting. I'm just extremely appreciated to the author of the tool which solves astronomical quantities of problems.
