Bruce, the Freehand tool is your friend. No need to quit. I found after a bit of searching, the image, below. I used WinTopo to make a DXF file which I then imported into SU. Pilou, you're getting more and more abstract. I like it. We could call it Mona in Ice. [image: lvsU_monalisa_cp.jpg]

thank's James, really usefull.

Thank's EarthMover, here's is tiling version included, normal, bump, & specular. [image: 31527740997f47c9b22703c8cad320a4d5cb032.jpg] [image: 3152777ba74e8a458e7bf52f5b2fcff4fa1f754.jpg] [image: 31527762886f208b30bcaec9c96178fc9a39bf5.jpg] [image: 3152775ebf2b0b4d19fb16f86eddf4d74df6ca3.jpg]

thnk you mate, really appreciate it

Ah! Well. It's a mini-bonanza for all the non-Podium users. They are very nice cutouts, Stu. The South Pacific and UK disks look excellent too. I remember you mentioning the S. Pacific one on another thread.

There is a load of models from the manufacturer on the warehouse as well. http://sketchup.google.com/3dwarehouse/search?uq=04107991979064491439 Scott

I know. I use it all the time, mostly for metal & concrete textures, aswell as rock and some others. It's too bad most of them aren't tillable. Although, what most people don't realize, is that with just a bit of work, you can actually make some of the least tillable textures there tileable. (see http://www.sketchucation.com/forums/scf/viewtopic.php?f=40&t=14465)

Here are some images of it being used in kerkythea: [image: ENgt_map4.jpg] [image: HKOG_map7.jpg]

LOL. Imagine the annoying noise it would make.

Wow Solo, thank you so much. Your time much much appreciated... Thank you very much. ronan

Bruce, thank you. Actually, no sphere needed. I started off that leg with a 2D DWG file that was given. I copied the square sections off to one side. [image: dcef30d6.jpg] Deleted half the leg profile and the square sections. [image: d249ed36.jpg] Push/Pull the square sections. Extend the profile for the turned portion to create the pommel. Add a path for Follow Me. [image: 9cb12797.jpg] Run Follow Me. [image: e86c55f8.jpg] Move the square section into place. Run Intersect. [image: 08b79c29.jpg] Delete the waste. [image: b1bf7cae.jpg] To reduce the turned piece's file size as Eric mentioned, I rotated the 24 segment circular path for Follw Me 7.5° and then cut the circle in quarters cutting at the midpoint of edge segments rather than at the vertices. After running Follow Me on the turned parts, their edges were hidden. These were made into components and copied about the center. When all the components are placed together, the seam lines don't show as they would if the cut had been made along the vertices instead. [image: Leg_Experiment.jpg]

Thanks Dave

thanks again, josé manuel. i had already downloaded the textures before the failure.

[image: XWxm_SpiralStair2.jpg] Hey Jim… Looked at your new Spiral Stair where you “Can set height, deg. of rotation and inner radius” I know it is still in development, great stuff mate. Thanks for the link. http://sketchup.google.com/3dwarehouse/details?mid=c4c3a9d5968b6f0aced20b565511c17b

What kind of components do you want tutorials on? The list is endless. Edit, beat me too it Dave.

well, meanwhile... many moons later... I have created the file. It shows the ADA Toilet Room Grab Bars (to the best of my ability/understanding) exactly as specified in ANSI A117.1 ... So attached you will find a SketchUp model with the ADA grab bars for a toilet room built to ANSI A117.1 standards. I expect to one day be in a toilet room in the African desert and see this grab bar setup - got it?! Enjoy! DISCLAIMER: USE THIS ONLY AT YOUR OWN RISK.

Looks awesome from the Thumbnail. Can't download from sites like that on my work comp. Can you post it elsewhere?

This one? [image: 3fZS_cliffstone.jpg] [image: SfTV_hillstone.jpg]

since i never included an image, and the untextured image doesnt necessarily make it look too good [image: kci102708ax9.th.jpg]
