    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!

    Hey LeCorb here with exciting update to the Construction Documents book. These are in fast mode but are great for speeding through the process to stop and view each step. Enjoy!

    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?

    cmd_auto_invisible_layer - When adding a new layer you it doesn't make it visible in every scene. ene_texturepositioning - Quickly change texture orientation with Shortcut Mirror - Self explanatory PutOnLayer_sortname - Easily cleanup someones messy layering in a model SectionCutFace - To create sections that you can then draw on tt_selection_toys - Select only face/edges/hidden lines etc... su_solarnorth - Change north position RoundCorner - Self explanatory TIG-weld - Weld edges together into single edges SU Podium Browser - For models / materials etc... 1001bit_freeware - I only really use the fillet tool on this. 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.

    Look in Finder. It should be able to show you the last saved date/time for the file.

    Your 'render-mode' is set to show color-only - so any textures do not show up. Look in your top tool-buttons and click the 'textured' one...

    Splines Beziers gives the maximum smooth surfaces for a less number of points! I have many Right Clicks on a curve on Contextual write BZ - ... for convert etc... I suppose that in Fredo Bezier Splines or in Fredo SPline or in Fredo Tools in any case load all that! Advantage of Extrude Tools by Tig is the facility! And you can keep curves for next neighbour patch! You can also look some modelings of Jo-ke! He had modelize objects like your! And don't forget to inspect your curves by the Fredo Tools (Lonely vertices)

    Clipping plane extension does not resolve the problem, (bought it) which has actually become a problem just recently with the 2020 SKP update. I mean, yes this has always been in SKP, but recently it's absolutely impossible to work, I have no idea what has happened.... Could it be anyhow problems with personal templates or file settings...? I have noticed that some files work better when I copy and paste them into the older templates I used before. p.s. it's clear for me that itis something in the SKP templates I used. Since I have restored some older ones and use them, it's +/- "fine" again.... but still very disturbing..

    @tig said: Did you try it ? Did it help ? Hullo again, I am not certain but just now I have discovered that Fredo6 Scale Launcher (icon clicked) does nothing. The tools/functions are accessible via the menu. All other Fredo6 Lunchers work fine. Once clicking the toolbars open. I think it is related to the changes I have made in registry following the recommendations here. PS 1 Alas it seems that this is not the culprit. I have removed the registry entries ninth no impact - still no Fredo6 Scale Luncher. PS 2 I have just checked another computer with SU 20.0.373 version. Fredo6 Scale Launcher works fine there. Would it be Su update to the latest 20.1 version the source of the dysfunctionality?

    @joe wood said: Yeah I have 8 gigs ram, I don't know why they installed the 32 bit win 10. All my programs seem to work fine esp SUp. I'd take it back and have them redo it with the 64 bit but need my computer these days, can't wait a week to get it back. So is that why exports are so slow Juju? that could very likely be yes, even more so depending on how many apps / tasks the OS has running simultaneously good thing you're still running SU2015 as from SU2017 it was 64-bit only IIRC

    That View> large icons fix didn't stick, so I asked on the MS support forum The tutorial below can help show you how to set a default folder template for all folders, change the layout to large icons for how you want, and then apply to all folders. https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/35192-set-default-folder-view-all-folders-windows-10-a.html

    "So I see they aren't "stored" in the file." Actually the textures are stored in the file. That's how you can send someone else the file and they can see the textures or pry them out of the file. Did the wine bottles come from the 3D Warehouse?
