    Do you mean you want to show the lattice structure rather than just represent the surface as seen from the outside? I am not sure doing the wall on the flat isn't going to make it more complicated for you. FollowMe won't recreate the structure of the lattice, but if you model a portion of it you can repeat it in a circle using the rotate tool. I am thinking of doing a Tipi as I made them for sale in a past life. I mostly think about it so I will have full strategy to abandon once I actually start. πŸ˜’

    Why don't you do a WIP thread in the WIP section of the Gallery?

      Hey everybody,

      I'm new at this forum. I'm working with sketchup by about 3 days, mostly designing interiors and fireplace. I just discovered this forum, and I'm sure it's going to be a great help.

      Sorry if my English isn't that good..

        Hi, Zanna:
        So far, your English is fine, and Welcome.
        As you may be aware, there are subforums here for other languages. But you do not specify your country in your profile?

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

            Hello, my name is Esther and I just started on SU8, I studied graphic design and I have always loved to build, deconstruct and tinker.

            I am now going into 3D printing and need to start with modeling in 3 planes instead of 2, so far I seem to be getting the hang of things decently but it never is a bad idea to have the support of others in the same boat as well as the people who know what they are actually doing at all times haha!

            I am looking very much forward to learning from everyone here.

              Greetings and Salutations !

              I'm happy to have recently joined the forum and I'm looking forward to participating in all things Sketchupy.

              While I'm not new to Sketchup most of my modelling has been from interior office layouts, simple models and now to more complex models which led me to this forum for some "how the heck do I do this?" information. πŸ˜„

              I hope I'll be able to contribute as well as seek information.

              Cheers

                    You really ought to post in the problem tool's thread.
                    Have you checked Preferences > Extensions to activate the Tool, and then View > Toolbars to activate its Toolbar etc ??
                    What are these folders ?Capture.PNG The other files/folders seem OK, but without seeing what's inside the Lib... and Round... folders who can tell ?
                    If you follow the instructions regarding the download, extraction, installation and activation of a specific tool [and the one you are having problems with has excellent guidance] it should be straightforward...
                    Are you sure you have FULL security permissions to the Plugins folder and its contents... and 'Compatibility Files...' issues aren't rearing their ugly heads...
                    You could also try getting thomthom's Simple Installer linked through the Plugins Index.
                    This installs tools for you - they can be in various formats...
                    All you have to manage to do [just once] is to install the installer successfully... πŸ˜‰

                      Thank you
                      I looked inside the Lib... folder and found same name folder inside. I had placed direction inside Additional Folders for Plugins and think it loaded it twice into itself, anyway I removed all traces and used your recommended, thomthom's Simple Installer. and re-installed. Now every thing works. 😍
                      Thank You
                      Stephen

                              Hi, I finally took the time to register after years of learning using these forums. Just wanted to say thanks to everyone for all of the info and help. I love that everyone is here to help one another and learn from each other. πŸ˜„

                              I have been using SU for about 4 years and still find myself learning new things all the time. I have also been using VRay for a few years and feel like I still have so much to learn! Thanks again! πŸ˜†

                                  Well, it seems I'll be soon addicted with sketchup and sketchucation. Actually is hard to understand how one can remember to eat, rest and have a life with such mind-catalyst and imagination-borderless software πŸ˜„
                                  Good luck my sketchUcolleagues wherever you are!

                                    Just wanted to introduce myself; I'm a math teacher; I've been using sketchup off and on (mostly off) for a few years. Right now I'm working on an animation of how various polyhedra fit together in a sphere. This forum has been quite helpful -- many thanks.

                                    I have a very specific question, which I'll post separately.

                                      Hi,
                                      Im a designer illustrator flash programmer who wants to expand his limited horizon.
                                      So I started with sketch up as it seemed to fit the best with my previous skills.
                                      One can find some results of those at http://www.dbag.nl/portfolio/ all 2D.
                                      Well thanks for the forum its a big help.

                                      Cheers,

                                      Niels
