X-Ray mode? Or create a unique material that you apply only to walls, then turn its opacity down just far enough to show the piping and ducting within.

Hi,

thanks all, especially richard for continue discussing this topic. I learnt allot
the sketchucation shop is messy and not comfortable to browse.
you can export evermotion models to skp but they are sometimes too messy to handle.

I guess http://www.designconnected.com/ is the beset close to what I Was looking for. though a bit expensive. a good variety of free models though.

the bloom unit model looks really innovative. 6$ hour isn't much though I wounder what cpu is used and what can be done in that hour. might try it sometime.
I'm considering formfonts since its still the most cost effective.

Thanks all from me too.

looks great Dave.

I wouldn't mind an active connection between Excel and LayOut, either. Because I dislike the appearance of tables straight out of Excel, though, I copy tables from Excel to Word, massage them a bit there for formatting--setting tabs, things like that and save as RTF. I then insert the RTF file into LO. I can edit the RTF file and update from the Excel file if required. It's not quite as smooth as a direction connection but it is workable.

Thanks John!

Hey thanks alot for your quick reply !! il give this ago now!!

Thanks again!!

Thank you, Carsten.

This is great! Thanks a lot. I can deal with the funny names. 😄

we did a job for a car reseller some time ago and the boss bought a couple of car from humster. at first try, the "low poly 3ds" versions of them crashed sketchup instantly.. i had to send a mail to them and they were very polite and sent me back a custom skp-low poly version.. still pretty hi poly, but at least sketchup manged them (after a furter cleanup of the geometry, in particular some utra hy-poly details, such as headlights). now with beta vray maybe you can use proxy, as far as i know also maxwell can mange proxyes, so maybe it's a bit easier..

Thank you so much, Greg...! 😄
That's incredible generous of you...! 👍

Indeed. I even posted it to a (hopefully more general and broader) public

Really thanks for this entry!
If You have any VIZ created with my hdri maps I'd be very pleased if you send me any for showcase.

It seems very fashion. I'm thinking to use it for some particular models of secret boxes (construct with wood as material). If u can sand to me a copy, i'll be grateful. This my mail prelligiulio@hotmail.it

I make few test SU8 + VRAY plus 3D models 😄

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

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.

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.

that image would make a great map with an opacity mask on it 😉

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:
