      thanks Adam, that's a great tutorial and i got some great tips on how to appraoch things from a different perspective. Strange how what makes perfect sense to me , in terms of workflow , seems a convoluted approach once you view another user's technique.

      Again thanks for the 'How-To' i got alot from it.

        Thanks Adam, I also learned lots from this tutorial...in fact I have been wishing some of the SU masters here would post screencasts of random projects - just a glimpse at their workflow would help newbies tremendously.

          Thanks guys. I just signed up for a paid Screencast subscription so I could have more bandwith for tutorials. I'll be making more screengrabs in the future.

            Adam, cool tutorial, and a few tools you have that I've never used. Yikes you do have lots of plugins, I don't recognise half of them. 😲

            Anyway I uploaded a pool waterfall here: http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=40&t=21835&p=183387#p183387 I did this a while back and thought seems you have a tutorial going I would share it.

              <bowing to the masters> I'm not worthy!

              I have a questions which is somewhat related. This is my FIRST model in SU. I know it has all kinds of errors in it (we all have to start somewhere).

              I have it on 3DWarehouse: http://sketchup.google.com/3dwarehouse/search?q=progress112409&styp=m&btnG=Search&reps=3

              My question is how do I model the stream as the water is going down hill (not flat). Any tips you (or anyone) can provide will be greatly appreciated!

              Rick

                    robert111, Here's the link for triangulate ruby - http://www.crai.archi.fr/RubyLibraryDepot/Ruby/points_cloud_triangulation.rb

                    Also renders of two other waterfalls I model with this technique, although the boulders were built separately in these..

                        Sorry about that. Try here - http://rhin.crai.archi.fr/RubyLibraryDepot/Ruby/en_geo_page.htm

                        You need to find Points_Cloud_Triangulation.rb. Right click and save the link to your plugins folder. It also requires Delaunay2.rb to work. Find it here - http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?p=117071#p117071
