Cool looking desk. Thanks for the share decipher.

Thanks!

Thanks Peter. I saw that and gave it a try. I made the settings before I went to work. When I opened SketchUp after getting home from work, all the standard toolbars were missing and the ones from the plugins were stacked up one above the other. Weird. Lately when the toolbars do get scrambled, they've behaved well enough as far as letting me put them back.

Thanks Mike and Karl I finally was able to get a photo of the finished product and I just posted in the Gallery: http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=81&t=22123

Thanks, sharing the side with us. As scaba mentioned it is fine for ancient Projects. Karlheinz

thanks to share it, great textures

can you find something interesting here ? http://mayang.com/textures/Stone/html/Paving%20Stones/index.html You can read License Terms here http://mayang.com/textures/ on bottom of the page. good day.

That's it Rich .... the link is in my Gadget bookmarks now

@dedmin said: http://www.us.kohler.com/tech/cadsymbol/cadsymbol.jsp Thanks!! this will be very helpfull in the future. Lots of (free) models! but... I could not find what I need.

Im gonna make some more with my graphics tablet and import into SU. kinda swirly/sketchy trees. i'll post here when I'm done

modeling it will always look better. you only need to texture each 'panel' then and you won't need to make one for that.

cheers people. I normally use these curtains to 'frame' and image too. they are not nice enough to take a focal point. you can always 'close' the curtains too by stretching them with the scale tool. thanks honolulu, i will check it out

What settings did you use when you rendered these ? I can't seem to get the bump to work with transparent materials.

I like it. I've done something similar to that.

Thanx!!!!

Thanks

Hi Fred, Thanks a bunch for these!

Marcus has a good point but remember to only associate layers with components or groups and leave all geometry on Layer 0. Also, make sure any additional geometry (faces and edges) are drawn on Layer 0 by leaving Layer 0 as the active layer. Chris also has a good suggestion if you need to limit the edges that get softened and the angle between faces isn't a good determinant of which edges get it. I guess I should have mentioned dragging a selection box around geometry you want selected is one way to grab it. Left to right and right to left selection boxes yield different results. Experiment with to see the difference. You can also triple click on an entity to select all connected entities.

Glad that got it sorted. It wasn't really a lucky guess because I ran into it once years ago. SketchUp draws the face on the ground plane with the back side up because usually that's going to be the bottom of some 3D object. The front face is facing out (down). About the only time it creates any sort of problem is when applying materials to a 2D face.
