Hey all you SketchUppers We have a pretty big announcement coming down the pike that we feel you’ll appreciate knowing about sooner than later so you can plan accordingly. Specifically, we’re moving away from the Google provided geographic data. This has important implications for both satellite im…

Here maps are from DigitalGlobe. Only in an even lower resolution. [image]

Regardless of the civility of the actual words, any post that includes an implied or explicit threat to sue the company hosting the forum can’t, in my opinion, be considered “civil”. I’d term them “Confrontational”.

I also miss the good quality maps and agree that the transition could have been performed better. Maybe the transition time when users could use and compare both providers could have been longer so users had had time to adjust and plugin developers had had time to developer alternative solutions.

@Bryceosaurus Something that has been discussed quite a bit among plugin developers is the requested ability to let extensions draw to the viewport without outside of active tools. Perhaps this could be a solution to the problem? If the ability to draw to the viewport without physically make change…
