    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!

    @mike211248 said: Hi Tig When I model in SketchUp 2017 as it is installed on the computer at the moment, the following happens: When I apply a texture to the drawing, all that appears is the colour of the texture. Two common reasons for this one. First, you have Face Style set to Shaded, not Shaded with Textures. [image: 9xzY_Screenshot-6_18_20197_21_21AM.png] The other one is your model is created at a much larger scale than appropriate for the texture. If you zoom in close, can you see the texture?

    I am finding SU slow to load as well, too many plugins, I suspect. I am in the habit of always having SU open, even if just a blank file.

    There's no setting to prevent textures outside of the context of the component from fading when editing it. What behavior are you wanting that you don't get with an imported image? They can be moved and rotated around the model space, you can infer to their face. The only thing you can't do is extrude it to make a 3D shape.

    As TIG says, welding edges will result in a curve but even welding a succession of straight lines into a longer 'straight' line will still have Entity Info report said line as a 'curve'. It seems that SU will report any welded lines as curves no matter that each original segment was in the same plane/angle/alignment.

    I'm afraid TT's 'Groups to Components' plugin wont work for this application due to transformations made to the groups - windows rotated to each side of the house. You may have better luck with S4u's s4u_toComponents http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=484308#p484308 It is $20, but worth it if you're doing professional work...(if your working with archicad then you're doing professional work). I even use it in place of SU's native create component command...it's much faster, if you don't need the dialog...which you only generally need if you're making a cutting or follow me component. (I work with Archicad exports...so I feel your pain...)

    I figured it out I hope! when I put the little hooked pointer right on the endpoint I get the 'Enter Text', but when I move the little pointer to the right of the endpoit just a bit it works as it should you can't see the little pointer in this s shot but it's just to the right.

    Of course SketchUp doesn't come with any fonts. It uses the fonts included on the system. If you still have the installer file you could try installing SketchUp again but I wouldn't hold my breath. Keep in mind that SketchUp 2015 doesn't support High Sierra. It was released almost three years after SU2015.

    @lauraforschool said: @jean lemire said: Hi folks. See this in SU help: http://sketchup.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=95030 Just ideas. The page could not be opened. No. It wouldn't. The post is over nine years old. Google sold SketchUp more than six years ago and so links have changed. You could access the current help files through the Help menu in SketchUp. You might look at this page to start with.

    @baz said: Check Preferences/Open GL. And see if the settings are different... I switched that around some and didn't see anything. I didn't do a side by side comparison though. One thing that is new is that Mac now has AA settings built-in. They don't seem to affect this... maybe a little, because the lines are cleaner.
