Hello Dave,
you are right - and this is kind of a disadvantage...
...although in rendering you will not see the edges, and of course you can switch off all edges and profiles in styles - but then the whole model would be without them.afaik there is no easy way to hide all profiles and edges, but I might be just unknowing (hopefully, please someone point to the right method or plugin)
cheers
alexYou can organize your tree and put leaf edges on separate hidden layer - see attached example.
Select all leafs by material then deselect faces and put edges on separate layer ... or choose hide command ..This plugin should be helpfull:

Running CleanUp on the trees will reduce the number of faces used.

In case anyone is searching this thread later, I posted a tutorial here: Tree[d] to SketchUp Tutorial

Speed tree anyone?

(except the price is hairy, the export to FBX and conversion to SU is awesome as a great looking tree can end up as little as 3MB.)
Here is a quick test.

Did you buy it, Pete?
(If that's the trial, is it fully functional and savable?)The price is not only "hairy" but the whole licensing is so weird and stupid that I cannot even understand what they mean.
-
I didn't even see a price on their site - it all said "contact us".

What about the mesh complexity?
-
On one of the pages there is a download link to a PDF file (what a stupid solution BTW). Different prices range between $6,000+ and $10,000+

bwhaaaaah!

Apparently the educational licence is under $100.
That just doesn't make sense to me.

When you consider ILM developers have given testimonials it must be a serious piece of kit. A game developers dream I suppose.

Then there is always Vue trees, best used in Vue obviously.
However for a low detailed SU version it's doable. (1.7MB)
