    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!

    Yes, je pense que c'est une histoire de logiciel, de ce que j'ai lu les animations plus poussées graphiquement se font avec 3DS Max, Rhino, Revit etc...

    I think you'll find it difficult to do in SketchUp. I'll wish you success, though.

    Your web-browser has many settings/options. For each file-type download made through your web-browser you can/must set an action... So for example, for a PDF file you might specify to always open it with the associated PDF-app... For a SKP file you might specify to either open if [with SketchUp using a Temp-file download] or to Save it directly to your computer - with no 'open'... For an RBZ [which is an extension archive] you should always have it set to Save... and nothing more... For the Saving location you can specify [say] to use your 'Downloads' folder, or 'Ask for location' each time... It sounds like your browser-settings have RBZ associated with SketchUp [incorrectly] and so it tries to open it after it is downloaded, and thereby breaks SketchUp doing. You need to Save it, and then use the built-in SketchUp > Extension-Manager to 'Install' the RBZ for you... So change your web-browser's settings/options to save the RBZ, NOT to open it... Then retry getting an RBZ downloaded... and then installed...

    @robbitybobbityboo said: Any advice on a plugin that will create a clean outline of the projection of a shape onto a plane? Thanks. R. You may want to try FredoPortrait Here is the video https://youtu.be/6ulctxvENSI The approach is slightly different from a projection or flattening, since it takes the picture of the model (which is 2D) and create the silhouette out of it. I don't know if your model would work but it may be worth trying. Fredo

    It's easy enough to post-process the image... Give the model a simple pure-white background. Export the PNG... In Photoshop / Gimp [or similar image-editor] choose the magic-wand tool and click any white pixel in the model's image to select all similar pixels. Hit delete and they are all gone. Repeat this with the background as necessary - e.g. if that's considered different color pixel-wise... Save changes - you should now have a transparent PNG with black line-work...

    Maybe worth mentioning that if you run a program as admin, it won't see drives you mapped as your user.

    It could be that your laptop isn't up to the task of handling the file. As I wrote before, "Not responding" means SketchUp is trying to process something in the model file and it is taking time, most likely because of the CPU but there could be other bottlenecks in the processing. Maybe it's time for a new computer. Maybe it's also time to upgrade SketchUp. Since 2016 there has been a fair amount of performance optimization changes that make handling large files easier and faster.

    It's quite a common problem, usually caused by Windows pushing bad Graphic card drivers. First thing to try is to download the most recent driver for your graphic card from the card manufacturer. Do not trust windows to tell you it is up to date.

    I don't see any image but what you describe is indicative of incorrect axis orientation. Change the axis orientation so the red/green plane is parallel to the gluing face on the component.

    Writing script is way above my paygrade, as was your explanation. Thanks for trying to help. I'm just a bit thicker than that. @pcmoor said: Copying groups with attributes creates groups that are connected, you would need to make them unique via a script [attachment=0:2tp8ykp5]<!-- ia0 -->Capture.JPG<!-- ia0 -->[/attachment:2tp8ykp5] It may be best to make components, then right click make unique, you could experiment with reset scale or scale definition, which ever is best suited for the situation.

    As far as background objects go, would it work for you to create a group and do your work on a face within the group and "hide rest of model" selected?

    Wow! That looks great But I think it would work only with models that are made with triangles of the same size and shape. I am working on setup, that (maybe) will be able to triangulate complex organic shapes. I do not know if it will work how I need but I will post a result here.
