This is only true if you pick a corner of the bounding box. It defaults to uniform. Picking any other handle scales against its opposite point, unless you hold shift.

I understand... thanks, TIG Bob

Oh course thanks

Cplassais has made a very cool plug for align objects! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kZp4yuImVhQ

If I use "use high accuracy HLR", dimensions show, but now texture don't...

It's clear from the various posts that you have many options when adding a roof over these walls. The last poster's suggestion is to ignore the masonry walls and make an orthogonal roof over them with parallel eaves and ridges, but with varying soffit dimensions. If this is acceptable to you then you might have as a simple roof structure and finish as you could. Otherwise if you must have parallel eaves and ridges you must either accept a roof surface that is not in one simple plane, with twisted facets are needed to achieve the form, or a piece of 'flat' roof at the ridge to fill in the inevitable gap between the two single-plane roofs that meet there. In these cases you need to consider the complexity of making the non-conventional roof structure and its finishes. If parallel eaves and ridges are not a must, but single plane roof for each section are still preferable, then you need to decide it you are to slope the various ridges or the various eaves. The former is probably the more conventional structurally - it's effectively a very shallow hip construction with the normally horizontal ridge-board becoming in effect a sloping hip-tree - the roofing material is easily trimmed and covered by the ridge capping: otherwise sloping the eaves means non-conventional sloping wall-plates, odd-walling etc, and probably ugly weirdness at the lower edges of the roof, where material at the eaves would need cutting and finishing oddly - somewhat like a shallow valley gutter...

You can add a table in LayOut.

To bad for me. I know I don't use sketchup in a totally "normal" way.. I's very important for my project to go from a very large country view to very detail view... I wonder if there is another 3D soft as easy as Skecthup able to do that kind of things and better in animations... At least with your answer I can stop dreaming and crying and jump to the two files solution I was pushing away... Thank you (so) very much. ++

Thanks, this is something new to me.

My mind was feeling dizzy as experienced in the theatre while watchign the shape shifting architecture of Inception and Dr. Strange. it's a very useful (and robust) plugin.. you can model some simple flat shapes and then map them to curved surfaces.. here you can see an example of use.. a simple process to get a shape that would be not so easy and fast without flowify and a couple of oter plugins.. http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=397%26amp;t=66269 Thanks a lot again!

Thanks Rich, Great help and can think of a few more applications for this method.

Thanks kaas. It works like a charm.

Now you'll have to find some other reason to sing the blues. Did you dog run off and leave you, maybe?

I have tried DPI-8 handheld 3D scanner, it is easy to use. http://mep.trimble.com/products/scanning/dpi-8-handheld-3d-scanner

@john2 said: I haven't done any of the financial activities as far as the eps or pdf outputs of sketchup are concerned. The output is taken from a software called Adobe Illustrator. everything created with SketchUp, regardless if further processed with another application, is bound to the license terms agreed by you, transfering to another application for the final, commercially used export is obviously a commercial usage too

It works! Many Thanks, François

Having been through the process of setting up SketchUp on multiple computers, I have a process the seems to streamline it. The first things I do are open SU in the previous version and save the blank template file into a directory I can easily find. Then I make a screenshot of the entire SketchUp screen and save that image in the same directory. Since I use both Mac and Windows, I have a screen shot for each. Next, I install the SCF Extension Store so I can install the bundle from SCF. I also install my extensions from the EW. I've already got my custom styles, materials and local component collections in a directory called SketchUp Assets. I don't put them in the User/AppData or Use/Library/Application Support directories. I open the saved template file in the new version of SketchUp and immediately use File>Save as template... Next, I import as an image the screenshot I made of the old version to use as a guide for placing toolbars and creating the custom toolbars on the PC side. Then I make the toolbars and place the ones I want displayed. Finally, in Preferences, I point SketchUp to the appropriate folders in the SketchUp Assets directory. That Assets directory, the screenshot and the template file can all be copied to a memory stick or to a network drive.
