Wrong section...

Although I would also say that (after all this is the tutorials forum) but in fact the other topic is interestingly here, too.
😄

That's pretty much how I Figgered it. Thanks for looking at it TIG.

Hi,

I have the same problem as Dave. I have already tried everything.I also studied the manual again and again. If i select one or two lines, nothing happens. I do not get it to work. If i use a Panel Component, named PA as described in the manual i get the message: (See Image below). The version is : 1.1 & 1.2. - November 2005. I think this is the actual version.

Hi D...

Do the other way round (provided that those components er the instances of the same component definition) as the order is important:

Edit one of them (double click) Set the centerpoint inside in that component - now if they are all the same components, each should be updated instantly with this centerpoint in them delete the geometry - i.e. the "crosses" - leaving only the centerpoint inside the component NOW exit the component and explode all...

:geek: I have created a plugin that can produce a helix and give it a profile automatically. You can download it here:

Cool, thanks, James.

thank you pilou for the link to that topology blog: it's really interesting.

Sorry about that. Try here - http://rhin.crai.archi.fr/RubyLibraryDepot/Ruby/en_geo_page.htm

You need to find Points_Cloud_Triangulation.rb. Right click and save the link to your plugins folder. It also requires Delaunay2.rb to work. Find it here - http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?p=117071#p117071

Only a pleasure, and I agree about help from who knows where I have also had tremendous and generous help in SketshUp 👍

And no need to use Match Photo, just set camera and check the menu camera-->two point perspective......then get your step6, right?

Ummmm ..... Yes ......

......... and ....... No ........ 😉

Two point perspective does seem to have the same 2D qualities when manipulated with same Hand/Zoom toolset. I hadn't appreciated that. But .......... unless I am missing something here ........ it limits you to two point perspective! 😕

The example I showed is far from two point ......... Match Photo works for any perspective ...... 😎

That said and done, I do often use two point perspective and this is a great shortcut for that situation. Thank you. 😄

It is really a good way for learning how to weld two objects. Actually, it is simple but it could give us a basic welding procedure. It is really a big help. I am planning to build a welding shop in my place just like my brother did when he transferred to other place.

FYI, the aircraft in the tutorial is a hawker hurricane

Well, then the other one must be the AVG Curtiss P-40B of the Chinese Air Force? 😉
That link I have posted is just for some additional info on different approaches to modeling, that´s all.
I would really like to see more of your work.
I used to "hand-stitch" quite often, and it still works fine for me, at least on small surfaces. For a larger scale work, I prefer using plugins.
Cheers!

Yes, I would use .png files with transparency. You can use other people's styles with textures as a study guide by going to Style > Edit >Watermark then clicking on the specific watermark and save as to your computer.

Down in the Hungarian forum, a member also had problems with Pepakura not opening SU-to-KMZ exports properly. It seems that the still available "Google Earth 4 (kmz" export from SU 6 works the best.

Note that SU 6 (Pro) is still available for download at Google and even if someone does not have a license for the pro version, after 8 hours it will gracefully degrade to the free version but that does have these kmz export options!

Gosh guys, thanks 😳 . I appreciate the nice words. It is true it has been a while since I have done a tutorial, except for this one I did last week for garydorn.

I have been busy with many different things including sketching again, I forgot how much I missed drawing by hand 😉.
I also created a blog recently, check it out if you want. Just click on my signature below.

Again, thanks for the kind words guys.
