@hornoxx said: like Dave said - it's not easy. I gave it a try and got it closer to the photo template - One tip is: the longer you make your adjustment lines, the more accurate you can adjust photomatch I'll give it a try, I have a good amount of photo material I can use, thank sou much for helping!

The worktop and backboard are already in place in my van The idea was to make cabinets, but make every panel/ piece an individual component to be able to extract to a cutting guide later on. I'm going to study the video and probably start again. Thanks for the help.

@rv1974 said: Install 3ds max rrial. Open max file Convert vray/corona materials to standard ones Export to fbx Convert fbx to skp WITH textures Do you advice to convert all the models from 3dsky in this way? I would like to learn a way before i pay for the models.

Using layers to hide 'raw' geometry doesn't separate it from the still-visible geometry. SketchUp is not CAD. ALL SketchUp geometry should ALWAYS be assigned to Layer0 [which should almost always be the current layer]. Always make 'containers' - groups/component-instances - of your bits of related geometry, and assign layers to those. Then use those layers to control visibility... I repeat: layers do not separate geometry, they simply 'hide' it when 'off'.

Maybe Vertex Tools can "Flat" something no ? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yoMyjEzHn7U

@techdave02 said: Is the plane inside a group/component?? No. As you can see the 2nd floor rooms are cut in sketchup but cant see them on v-ray only part of the door . About the whites colors i figure the problem. But these floors and the grass part i didnt.

Inviting you to show your result if you wish to, I am curious

Ok thanks! That worked!

Oh! I exploded both shapes and got the missing faces - thanks to you both!

If I read correctly you have not drawn them accurately. They will never align as drawn.

Please see your other post on the same subject.

Expanding on what Dave wrote: SketchUp displays lengths according to the units you have set in the model info window. If your choice does not have enough precision to present a particular length perfectly, SketchUp displays the closest value allowed by your choice and prefixes it with "~" to let you know that the value shown is an approximation of the true value. It is important to realize this is an aspect of presenting values on the GUI, it does not mean the value isn't stored correctly inside SketchUp. Also, it is a one-way street: you can't enter a "~" prefix when you type a value. For example, if you set units to decimal meters with 0.0 precision, the value 0.123m can't be fully displayed even if that is the exact length of the entity in the SketchUp model. It will be "~ 0.1m" even though SketchUp internally has the correct 0.123m value. Similarly, if you set fractional inches with 1/2 inch precision, 3/8 inch will display as "~ 1/2" because that's the closest value that can be displayed.

omg silly me. thankyou so much

Excellent suggestions. I have to look into that use of Curvizard. Road depends on the terrain and the extent. Why not build the road if you want it flat? You can push pull a projection down to the terrain then give the road the grade that you want. Keep it separate from the terrain Reshape a copy of the existing terrain (new terrain) for fill and cut around the road. Sometimes I project the road on a copy of the terrain with sandbox Drape. I don't like to cut up the terrain with Drape directly. Makes a mess. Depends on what you are starting with in terms of topo and what your end use is (e.g. how accurate). Sometimes a simple drape is enough to indicate a road for the views you are making. Sometimes you are working out a design for an actual road.

Looks like you have intersected from the context of the roof which has put the geometry of the walls there. As you don't need it it can be removed. Your walls are raw geometry and are reversed. So select them all and choose reverse faces, then select them all and choose, Intersect with Model. Then remove the excess geometry. I've also assigned the Roof group to the h roof layer so it can be turned on and off. Follow along in the gif. [image: QQ8v_Intersecthouse.gif]

I found a simple way to rotate "text". Use a dimension instead, then edit the dimension text. However, the dim lines may be a problem.

ok, thank you for your file. I have understand.I succeed to use flowify with your example. I was trying to place directly my pattern on the half cylinder, that's why it didn't work. Thanks for all
