Now that's what I'm talking about. Good job Ken!!! Any chance of some metal stairs? One of these days I'm gonna try to learn DC's. I like to draw Process Plants and Drilling Rigs and they have a bunch of handrails and stairs. Edit: I see you are already working on a grating DC. Thanks

very awesome.so cool page for the styles,thanks all of you.

Thanks John; but personally I think of it as something akin to OCD when faced with redundant polygons.

@Pilou,@Gaieus Oups! ->wrong download text file: rectified in first post nice "trouvaille" Pilou (Remembering) @taffgoch said: Simon, Consider how the manufacturer produced the fence. Q: With what did they start? A: A length of "wire," with a constant, repeated sine wave. This should be maintained in a 3D model. Keep all of the sinusoidal segments the same length. Truly, the sine segments along the top of the fence will be curved, but they should be maintained at the same length. I can demonstrate this evening, when I have some modeling time. -Taff http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=29342#p256185 [image: QzUq_GrillagesDeProvence_002.jpg] [image: Y8vp_GrillagesDeProvence_001.jpg] *s

Hi, Nice model Cotty, thanks Dear Gaieus and Pilou I'm so touched that you care about me and remind this so "epic and anthology thread " This had given me the occasion to re-read it with the so nice supervision of Taff Goch and the flashy talented youngness of Elisei (ely862me). It had been a really nice moment. @broomstick said: that image would make a great map with an opacity mask on it @gaieus said: True, I was also thinking about it. You can easily make it tilable horizontally, too - the only problem is that vertically it should be a bit higher so that you could apply it on more various (although of course, still limited) height. You have decided me to achieve these materials. they are available Here: [image: thminiParisianFence5White_small.png;original] [image: thminiParisianFence2Green_small.png;original] "Parisian Fence material: 3 sizes available in 2 colours." http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=40&t=51695 With my friendship, Simon

not really what you are looking for but anyway some nice cutout children: http://sketchuptexture.blogspot.it/2013/04/children-cut-out-png-resources.html

THANKS ALL

Thanks TIG, that was exactly what I was looking for. Krisidious, I downloaded the file hope to look at it tonight. Does it grab texture sets from web pages too? Or just from SU models? My posts are probably correct? Life has been a bit chaotic the past 6-7 years, and in survival mode I sometimes am off the internet for almost a year at a time before I get things moving again. But things can only get better from here! Thanks again guys Matte

Bummer. Thanks, Rich.

To recap... A SKM file is a Sketchup Material definition file. A SKM file is a ZIP archive that just has a different file-extension. Changing its extension to ZIP allows you to see what it contains - but the only thing you might be interested in is the res/Image file, which is there if the Material has a Texture; the rest of the contents are things like the Material's thumbnail used in the Browser and XML files that contain the Material's data - like Image/Size [if any], RGB, Opacity etc... Placing a SKM file [unchanged] into a subfolder that is within the Materials folder [or any other folder that is in the Material Browser's search paths...] allows the Material that it defines to be displayed in the Materials Browser when that subfolder is chosen [like any other Material]; when applied to objects in the model that Material is added to the Model's internal Materials collection. If you modify or newly create some Materials in a Model, then the Material Browser's pop-out/context menu options allow you to Save the Material[s] to external SKM files [as a 'collection' etc]: this allows you to 'make' a custom Material in a Model, then make a SKM version of it that is reusable in any other Model later on... You do not need to 'open' a SKM file, just put it in a subfolder that the Materials Browser can see and it's automatically displayed - like any other Material...

I guess the angle admonishment comes from storing less filtered or wine stored for a few years? You don't want all the sediment sitting on the cork. Probably the majority of people are not that careful or keep their wine long enough Most wine comes in boxes, stored upside down until you get it. (edit I mean wine comes in BOTTLES in boxes. There is a sort of wine that just comes int a box though! )

Very nice mate, should suit a lot of sketch style works!!!! I'm sure they will become famous!

GREAT stuff Pete!!! It will be nice to see the Sketchucation store have a bunch on great content available to see it really humming!! And these are Great content!

There is http://www.3dplants.com http://www.3dplants.0catch.com/products.html They even have a link to free models in different categories too, in 3ds and dxf format. Hope it helps

I used to run blue lines when I was a kid... We had a blue print machine in the spare bedroom. Then one of my first jobs was at A&B Blue Print. The good ole days.

How lovely, thank you!

I've update the first post to include a link to download Word, Indesign and Photoshop formats of the template!

Thank you!
