          Actually I did draw mine over 3 feet in diameter. I wanted to have a real smooth mesh and when you draw small objects sometimes SketchUp cannot fill in the polygons. Sometimes it is better to model large then scale it down, sometimes.

              An unfortunate workaround in my opinion.
              Units are arbitrary measures.
              You could conceivably set inches at 100 times what Sketchup has it set. Same with metric.

              I take the slow, deliberate approach in my aimless wandering.

                  Eric, that tinsel is great. Maybe some "bold" material like http://www.thearender.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=30463#p30463 could fit in scene too.

                          I followed your publication Boofredlay, eveythings works just fine except that the tops of my fur comes out pointy instead of square as your sample. where am I going wrong?

                            Nothing if you selected "fur_instance" in the "Make by Component" field. This makes the "blades" a component. Now all you have to do is edit that component and make it look like you want. In my case I just squared off the end and made the whole blade just one face.

                              As lovely as they are I would like to see SU output too, if possible?

                              Here you go Rich.

                              Here are some views, one with the whole setup and another with just one piece of garland along with the ball. I changed the background to red so it shows up better.
