    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!

    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.

    @dave r said: Enjoy your GOT and sleep. I've never seen the former and only see the latter once in awhile. Ok, traced in LO and got a good result. Have to consider this a workaround tho'. And a bit of a pain as easy to miss endpoints in LO. (No option to toggle endpoints) Thanks for the help Dave. Cheers.

    @skavan said: don't understand the benefit of converting it to a Catmull Spline - perhaps Dave R can explain...and when I did it, I noticed some funny loops, so I performed this procedure without that step. The Catmull spline created a smoother curve. In your example you have straight runs of tiles along the longer straight segments and then a more severe angle when the next segment comes along. With the smoother curve I created, more tiles get tapered but that'll likely be more realistic. As long as you are satisfied with what you've got, that's fine. As for the "funny loops", I'm not sure what that's about. I didn't see any when I did it.

    @pbacot said: Yes, Mike but it happens in this case a lot and I am pretry goood at typoiing otherwise. Sorry. That made me laugh. @pbacot said: It's possible typing "s" afterward helps some of the time. "s" shouldn't be necessary in Entity Info. It used to be required if you were making the adjustment before drawing a circle but it isn't anymore. When you are changing the setting in Entity Info, are you selecting the existing number and then just overtyping? Or are you selecting the existing value and deleting it before typing the new number?

    That particular extension was withdrawn by its author, after there was a copyright infringement notice issued via Google - it seemed spurious, but it still seems unresolved. You could try a direct PM to the author [SDMitch] ?

    I'd like to see an example file that shows the problem you are having. i frequently adjust the stretch geometry with the Move tool and infer to entities outside the current group or component with no problem.

    Glad you got it sorted. If Thom Thom's extensions are showing as unsigned when you look at Extension Manager, you need to update them. His extensions should all show as signed. Please update your profile. It shows you are still living in the past.
