How crucial is it that its plain sawn? theres some good quarter sawn textures here. If all else fails you could always go take a few pictures yourself.

for Hardware in USA have a look here, http://www.leevalley.com/home.aspx lots of great looking stuff, and tool catalogue has some amazing stuff and the woodworking one has lots of glues, some with specs.

Here is a free utility with which you can create your custom tilable bricks of any size, layout, mortar and brick colour, irregularities etc.

Damn, I love this site! Thanks!

heyheyhey ^^ Hello guys how are u today or maybe I have to say "tonight" lol because it s 2.40am here ^^ Finally i have worked on a different building coz the last one is maybe too hard to sketch.. So I created this one at this adress (download the "project2's file" in sketchup (only 800KO): http://membres.lycos.fr/playboy171/Building/ I have a problem with the roof.. I would like to create a slope on the roof ( I made the base on the roof but the "wall of the roof" are empty. And after that the glass has to be put on the roof (follow the slope) U can choose one of different building it s not a problem it's almost the same ( also I would like your point of view about the one u prefered) I'm architect and I'm making a building(library in a campus for ingeniory) like a "space ship" but first of all it must be a building lol so I have broken some wings Have a good day guys and thx for the help

Yes, indeed, RapidShare is a really annoying site. Last time (like Juju said) I had to wait twice because the code was wrong and once it evenit said that all the strings for my country were in use (or was this latter one another annoying site?) On a side note, I actually do not really like imageshack either for it is often so slow to finally download/display an image from there...

all right ..thanks guys fir the advices

Edson, the couple of examples I posted here were just quickies made from a single png...didn't add a shadow face, sorry. Yes, to the Alan link...if you the "shaded" face style you'll see the shadow face(s) of any of my trees. The other thing you can do is explode the png image (then hide the 4 edges), now it's just a material you can edit the color and transparency...and I'm afraid it's also a bit more bytes. If you really want to get into it you can export the image (right-click menu on a PC...Mac?) and edit it in PS, then import it back into the component (you'll need to change the name of the new png) and erase the original.
