    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!

    I can think of two possibilities: The mouse is not configured to send the event SketchUp expects when you press the scroll wheel. There should be settings in the mouse control panel. The scroll wheel switch has failed. Try another mouse and see if it works correctly.

    I found the solution. Sign in with the google sign-in method vs. the email address method. The email address method is the 'default' method since the field has the blinking cursor in it.

    Thanks! I DID run without plugins and stripped down whatever I could, running a generic template file (then that file was added to my files that reload each time!) I would guess this is related to upgrading to High Sierra but it didn't happen until 2 weeks after that. So I decided, heck, finish the job and go to Mojave OS. Then that didn't help so I went to SU 2019. And after hanging on the first try, that looks pretty good. Now despite some crashes, 2016 closes OK... sometimes... after all that, what, can it heal itself??? After 3 years (versions) I have to say there ARE some nice changes piled up that look good for the Mac. AA is good now, it does seem a little snappier and smoother, and crashed files will not be loaded on restart supposedly. And they made it for Mojave. I like that they finally made the extensions manager into a sensible dialog window-- though after loading Sketchucation Tools I don't look at it much again.

    Had another go at this. Used the process I outlined in previous post. Draw around an imported image for the deer and then just free hand drew the trees. Doesn't take as long as it would seem... think I mucked about with the texture longer than modeling the thing...... it's a little more in the style of the O.P.'s original image.

    You need to copy the first viewport. If you use Copy and Paste, the new viewport will paste on top of the previous one. You can also copy a viewport by holding Ctrl (Option on Mac) while dragging the viewport.

    I am using this in work and it's working really well without error for many months now. Data prep is more of an issue for more complex models I am bringing in from places like Delatgen and Catia, SketchUp however is the easiest of the bunch. You do need SketchUp Pro to make it work however and I havent' yet tried it on SU2019.

    @scottalanclymer said: is it safe to say this can not be done with Sketchup using native capabilities? The answer is the same as was given to you in your other forum post.

    Well, it can be but the SCF Extension Store and Extension Warehouse make it fairly easy if they are used to install the extensions in the first place. I suppose that it could be made easier if SketchUp could copy the older versions Plugins folder contents but as it is, that's not a good idea. There are some extensions that install files other places which need to go through the proper installation process and it seems from the troubleshooting we "get" to do that an awful lot of the extensions can't be bothered to keep their extensions up to date. And there are frequently updates to the Ruby scripting version which require extensions be updated to work with the new SketchUp version. If the author of the extension didn't get their script updated and the user hadn't already installed that updated version, the extension wouldn't work. Seems like a lot of things outside of Sketchup's control to make that a good idea.

    No need for the parallel placement if you aren't projecting the texture. I'm guessing this texture of yours is some banding as might be used on a musical instrument. In real life it would be about veneer thick and would be wrapped around the body of the gitbox or whatever. You'd use projection if you wanted to show how a pattern of glued up blocks changes when they are turned on a lathe.

    The cursor keys have been a thing for a few generations now but as I said, Shift can be used instead. I use both depending on what I'm doing.
