      Hurrah!

      Finally come up with an idea for a ruby script!

      I often (too often) chop up a site plan into 1000x1000 pixel squares - and project them down onto a terrain model (after projecting the image grid lines down on to it). . . all that chopping and importing takes a while . . . . wouldn't it be good if there was an 'Import Large Image' ruby that took your image and chopped it up into 1000x1000 pixel chunks and then made a gridded object with them all in the right place! Then you could scale it correctly, use it to project the grid down, and then project the texture down!!!!

      Genius!

      Go guys!

      ps. anyone made a macro recorder for doing a repetitive series of actions?

        Marc that is a great idea. I have just done a site model that involved a similarly laborious process.

        Also Google! If you are listening, why does the "Get Location" tool bring in black and white GE maps, can we have colour please?

          great idea for a plugin. allthough I am not sure if that is possible with SketchUp allone. can SU cut a texture into square pieces on its own? I doubt that. I would love to be told otherwise though 😄
