Hey, I've just wanted to say thanks for all your answers here!
I'm working with CE3 too, and your code is really helpful to me. 😄

I've an ATI card and can confirm a poor relationship with SU 😞

A recent driver really screwed things up. It's not the most powerful card I use but my desktop runs a nVidia silky smooth.

My issues are with selecting. The workspace flickers when making a selection, sometimes even blacking out until releasing mouse button.

If anyone has suggestions I'd love to hear them also.

@tig said:

A simple 90 re-rotation fixes it if it's a horizontal alignment of 'grain'

Even that set would not be so likely needed as the user would understand - pick the opposite edge for the align!

yeah, fredoscale...

it will do what you're looking for + a whole lot more.

You can set the grid scale when you are setting up or editing your photo match. First get the perspective lines up, and then you can move the mouse to the blue axis. The cursor should turn into an up/down arrow, clicking and dragging will change the scale. You need to know the true dimension of something in your photo. Full building height or width is best, but if you have to you can use a smaller object such as a door or window. If your object is too small then any minor flaw in your scaling will make things worse. That is why a large object is best.

You can also re-scale the model outside of MatchPhoto by using the measure tool on an object and then typing what you want it to be. You should get a warning "do you want to re-scale your entire model".

Actually, I just found another problem. When the SketchUP scenes are imported into Kerkythea, every camera is identical. I assume this is a problem with importing axonometric views -- does anyone know if there is a work-around for this?

That it's corect...but what could be done in the 3D world without patience 😄
