      An interesting idea. If you had 2 photos of one thing (from different angles), then it would be cool if you could have 2 scenes up at the top and be able to model using both as a reference. Maybe you could tell sketchup the different angles by having the picture lock onto facing the camera, then you orbit round until it is at the right angle, and unlock the picture. I don't know if I'm making sense, oh well, still an interesting idea... 😎

        I understand-- I use this technique all the time, I draw historic buildings and it works like a charm.

            I'll put one together SU does allow you to do multiple photo matches. But in my experience it sometimes gets very lost when it tries a second one. I will pull something together to share.

                Nicely done!

                I am using historic photos taken from odd angles odd angles --it not as easy as when pictures are taken properly you just need to fly around and figure out where the picture was taken.
