Maybe you should make a feature request for that.
took your advice earlier and did just that..
forgot to report back bcause i got caught up in another long winding/winded discussion

I put in a feature request for a face style which is a cross between Hidden Line and Wireframe. I think that would be a great addition if you want to use watermark images. Here's an example:
ah.. yeah.. i see the possibilities..
dunno, this (styles) seems an area where the devs could open up the governor a little bit.. loosen their belts..i mean, how bad could they potentially screw up sketchup by adding 10 new things at once to the styles dialogs.. not bad at all..
but they need (ok.. i don't actually know what they need
) to have a little experimental/loose zone where they can be more playful with the developing process.. and this seems like a good place to do it.. -
More experimentation. Different line style, subtle changes to the blue color and the overlay. Probably better exported large and resized smaller.

Both original images look great! the top for more 3D feel and the lower for more of a 2D feel. Great Work!

Oh yeah, I could too. I almost saw someone pass out once, changing out a bottle.

Gilles, I see what you mean.
Cotty, thanks. The trees are Boofredlay's. I've had them a long time but I think he posted them here. They are cool, aren't they?
Hi Dave R,
I love your Blueprint style, both really good (top one 3d, 2nd one 2d)
Are Boofredlays trees still available to download? -
Thanks.
Did you try a search? It worked for me.
-
Thanks for the link
Unfortunately the link goes to a "GONE" webpage, so not there anymore
-
Sorry. I didn't try the link. Maybe Eric will repost them.
-
No worries Dave, thanks anyway. I've contacted Eric to see if he can re-post.
Will your Blueprint style be available to download?

I'm not sure. At this point there's very little of it that works as a real style in SketchUp. To make the two images you liked I had to do some post processing. The texture over the image is overlaid in an image editor. Putting the image in as a watermark masks the lines and it doesn't look very good. I showed some other examples of that problem on the first page.

I used to run blue lines when I was a kid... We had a blue print machine in the spare bedroom. Then one of my first jobs was at A&B Blue Print. The good ole days.
