    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!

    @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..

    When you installed SketchUp, did you right click on the downloaded installer and choose 'Run as administrator' from the Context menu? If not or you aren't sure, close SketchUp and do it now. We're now up to version 2019.3. You might as well download it and update while you are at it. Once you have SketchUp correctly installed, see if you can remain logged in. Do you have a Subscription license or is it the Classic license? Thanks for updating your profile. That kind of info helps us help you.

    Thanks anyway... It's the latest version - I can't see where the error arises... Maybe I'll have to dig out a copy of v8... Although it'd be easier for the OP to update to v2017

    I guess all I can say is good luck. I've seen another example today of a file corrupted beyond recovery because the user was saving his file directly into Drop Box and working on it from there. For files I want to work on with more than one computer, I save them locally and then copy them to a cloud location so they are accessible from the other machine.

    The Standard Views are fixed as is the location of the ground plane. By default the model axes are located such that the red/green plane lays on the ground plane with solid green running off into the distance in the standard front view. While you can change the axis orientation and location, that has no impact on the Standard Views or ground plane.

    Fixed it. The .rb file was pointing to a _loader.rb file in the plugin folder. It's actually a _loader.rbs file. I've informed them. It's still unclear which format will become the standard for AR viewing on smartphones etc....Apple's USDZ or Google's glTF.

    If nothing else works you could try to run this in the Ruby console: Sketchup.send_action 10624 [image: 10115-pasted-from-clipboard-png] A bit down from the middle there is Near, Far and Force That lets you set the clipping planes manually. Beware that this is not an "official" Camera settings panel so be sure to make a backup if you use it. Also you may have to run it again to uncheck/reset this Force clipping planes after.

    Vanishing lines with sketchy styles.....help!

    Another thing to consider when using sketchy styles is that edges that make up curves can often be shorter than the shortest edge stroke. When that happens, the curves tend to disappear as in this example. [image: UUE7_Screenshot-11_13_20199_53_58PM.png] Welding those edges together gets around that problem as shown here: [image: VcPT_Screenshot-11_13_20199_55_01PM.png] The easiest way I've found to do the welding is with Eneroth Auto Weld which welds any edges that can be welded in the selection. TIG's TIG-Weld is also good.
