Dear Max, Clever and instructive explanation. And certainly a very useful tool. (i have fought some time ago with that spiral shape and haven't found in this time such a tool [image: horseshoestair_Final5.jpg] ) ;-)simon

I have never used it, but there is a freebie program out there called "Wink" that does things like Camtasia does. Here is the link: http://www.debugmode.com/wink/ Please remember, this is only according to what I have heard. Check out that website for more information.

Sorry for the broad post, something like St James Park would be cool. [image: St_James_Park_A.jpg] [image: St_James_Park4.jpg] [image: St_James_Park2.jpg]

Check out this. http://www.pushpullbar.com/forums/showthread.php?t=6184 You say you're from holland, so you wouldn't mind reading it in Dutch I guess, there's a Dutch and English version of my tutorial available at my forum, you need to register to read the Dutch version, not the English. enjoy. It explains most of the things to achieve a good result. The basic workflow. Some things might be changed since Maxwell 1.7 but not that much.

. . . here's the revised version . . . same as original but now finished, showing how to move & copy the parts so the assembly is completed . . .

i did the same once and after the integration of the Free Download Manager once again , it happened again, i discovered that saying no to the Free first dialog, and once looking like closed the download, it suddenly appears the option of saving normal in Windows. The question was that the Free Download saves it as php or something, the way to do is to change in the options , the name to : --whatever-- .skp Then it works ok. I use both now )

Yeah, thanks to all of you for your answers and ideas, and especially to the very clear tutorial from solo ! You can also find an easy way I got from other forum, very interesting for all of those who design furniture with SKU : http://www.systemed.fr/Forum/forum_topics.asp?FID=18&PN=1 GLB [image: RYDY_Ftcolonnecanneleavecrenflement.png]

Thank you so much Solo for the tutorial and especially for the quick response. I am fairly new to SketchUp so the first three stages I was able to do, but ruby techniques is something I need to study up on. I am reading the SketchUp Ruby API Deveoper's Guide now. Hopefully I will be able to complete the last stages of the snake tutorial you so graciously provided me after reading the guide. I now see the range of designs capabilities with SketchUp are far beyond what I thought. Very impressive program and community forum. I am hooked.

Thanks for that Isaac!

thanks you eric...this is a looking for

@Greyhead and Remus: JoinPP is a powerfull script for push/pull on terrain, but there was a problem here. If you use this tool , pull a shape along z axis to make a wall or a road on terrain, the top faces of the wall were a copy of these ones on terrain, it was not "flat", for example, vehicle such as cars can not ride on, is there another way to fix this?

Ross, thanks for finding this and James thanks for posting it here. I read this "back in the day" but I am really looking forward to going through it again. Awesome stuff.

Mike, If you look its actually already IN the Tutorial area of SCF... ... Also, how do you print out a Video ??? I think the ability to print out a Tutorial is quite useful so that you can have it on your desk next to you when working - for quick reference. (See Fredo's brilliant documentation [PDFs] for the scripts he's produced - excellent). ... Howard L'

Now that would be cool. [image: zEVz_Junk3.jpg]

Pilou, if you mean the finished textures, the ones I posted are just a scaled down example. The original size of the finished textures were 1200x1200.

oh!! fantastic lovely program--thsanks !!

Yeah, been fiddling with that one. Which is the reason why I asked. I'll have to follow Steve's advice, I think.

Thanks for that tutorial its really cool

re: Vue... Solo is referring to Vue Infinite their website is http://www.e-onsoftware.com/ but you could try the new UV mapper for SU by Whaat - available in the ruby forum.
