Turning a 123D Catch file set into a Edward Hopper painting

Roger

What is the purpose of the reference line tool? How can it be used to build a better model in SU.

Amazing and cool technique

A problem I am having is that the OBJ files that I export are often too big for sketchup to load when they are don at high resolution and sometime I even have the problem at standard resolution. Cell phone resolution always seems to load. However, the lower resolution of the original 123d Catch file, the more likely the file is to have have those nasty tornado shapped funnels connecting ht 3D object to the background. Now this surprises me because the native highb res 123d Catch files load even though tehy are also carrying texture as well as shape information. Even though the 123d Catch file is is created in the cloud I view it and twist it in space on an app that is resident on my computer.

The high res filoes created are also to big to open in Mesh Lab. So I guess this is just a SU capacity problem. What are the chances that SU9 will be able to manipulate larger files?

We've been asking since SU6.

I give up on some OBJ imports, from wings3d for example, there's a certain poly limit then I just can't import (or I get strange behaviour, missing geometry etc)

Do you think the poly limit is specific to your machine or does it have to do with the SU code. Any idea about how such a bottleneck works?

Seems a lot of Hooper paintings will be soon in France, next week ! (in English!

We have a copy of that one hanging in the bathroom. I just looked at your post and realized for the first time the painting is called "The long leg." Oh, its Hopper not Hooper.
