Fishing net modeling

It's the 7meg file, without the edges in solid tube!

Personally to me the difference from one side to the other is so small that I would make them symmetrical.
You would reduce the file size enormously.

once the file is open, I can easly navigate in it. I now have to find a nice way to render

Ah well, I can't help you much there, my only rendering experience is with Twilight.

I will test to export the shadows from sketchup and tweak it with photoshop

Oli will probably pop back soon, he knows far more about rendering than me.

It's worth pointing out that components can be scaled and and modified and still be instances of the same component.
As you can see in this image I have used one component in three places, I used Fredoscale to scale and shear them to fit in the required spaces, I didn't bother to be too accurate as it's only an example.
It's a bit more work in some ways to pull them into shape, but it's means less tube making. So if you were to fit 10 nets this way you only have to make one set of tubes to get 10 full nets.

Something to keep in mind for the future.
