    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!

    Interesting links but the McMaster-Carr collection appears not to have a CAD relevance.

    You might try Select Loop which is part of Thom Thom's Quad Face Tools. I would run CleanUp3 first to make sure you get rid of any unneeded edges there might be. Thanks for starting to update your profile. I assume you mean you are using SketchUp 2019 Pro.

    Well, I find that my models increase in size for some reason. My solution, not elegant, but effective sometimes. Show everything you wish to keep, that is all the geometry you wish to keep. Select everything on the screen, copy, then save the file and open a new file. Now copy into this new file everything you copied, save under a new name, me I add a new version number. Now save this new file. After finishing saving, Do a "save as" to open the area you saved this file at, and check the file size. I find it is usually very much smaller. Not sophisticated, but works for me.

    Glad you found a solution of sorts. For future readers - my solution only applies to Microsoft products. I should have made that more clear.

    @bob_cp said: "model in place then move to the ground plane" - that just doesn't make a lot of sense, but hey, if it's what works! It was a simple suggestion to help you understand how the axes need to be placed when you are creating them so that you can see what you need to do when creating them in place. But hey...

    Have you got the original contours? If not use SUs native contours tool to make a set and then use Fredo's Toposhaper to make a new surface, this tool will also add sides to your terrain and usually makes a solid. JPP is the wrong tool for this Of course work in a file copy, and at the end del everything else.

    @pbacot said: I would use "component edit" and take screen shots. Could you show an example of how that would work? On my computer opening a component to edit does not make the rest of the model transparent and there's the component edit bounding box and component axes being displayed.

    You could use custom attributes that do not add a value if hidden count visible.skp

    Ah, yes as a developer I can see Rhino's draw. I have FormZ as well and it's taken some time to learn it's way as opposed to SU's way. I do like FormZ's openness to allowing their free and Jr versions to be used for ANY purpose, even commercial. I also like the included tool set missing from SU, stairs, walls, nurbs, etc..
