...thanks for the quick answers.

thanks again, josé manuel. i had already downloaded the textures before the failure.

Hey, It is working now...The Script is RPTools, and there is a "load at start" selection in the working menu under the hammer

I suggested this approach a long time ago... It's basically the same as WebExporter, but for Blender and exports the camera at different altitudes as well. WebExporter could be expanded to do a lot of different animations; such as shadow studies and panoramic animations.

Thats a good one, have to remember that.

Welcome Chris

@andriyg81 said: good model, one thing jumps right at me, i see a site plan, a bunch of staircases, but not a single ramp for a wheelchair. I am sorry, maybe i am missing something? I could be missing something. I have been building the model using aerial photographs and google earth's street view. There could be a ramp somewhere but not that I could see.

forgot to tell we had once the same dogy VERY MUCH SAME

Working with large models was from presentation from 2008 base camp http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hnhkei2dSrY%26amp;list=UU4r6qO9bZZXJ9WSqM7PcLBg

Tobbe, The realtime rendering engine of SU does not handle reflections. To do that would require realtime raytracing, and you would need almost a supercomputer to achieve that. You can either try postprocessing a SU-exported image in Photoshop or your favourite image-editing app, or then use a dedicated rendering application to add lights and material qualities SU is lacking. There are tons of threads and posts about rendering and rendering applications around these forums. This, for instance, is a couple of threads earlier than your thread: http://www.sketchucation.com/forums/scf/viewtopic.php?f=79&t=13978 Anssi

Here is the final product. Thank you all for the help. It turned out pretty good. [image: 5Urq_kartell.jpg]

This one? [image: 3fZS_cliffstone.jpg] [image: SfTV_hillstone.jpg]

A little trick! As all objects must be a group or a component For erase a position just explode the group or component then group it or make component again

try to use screw_21.rb, It's very quickly to make spiraling tower.[image: 7mEd_tower.jpg]

Coplanar??? Have a look at this image! [image: NjJl_NonPlanar_cr.jpg] Selecting all the surrounding edges and running "From contour" from the Sandbox tools will create a surface however. kathy new version-1_1.skp

They do have their own forums, altohugh i can remember where.

@brooks_vrx said: :? I'm working on a small project with 12 houses. I made all houses as an individual group and assigned materials to the surface and it rended nicely. I then exploded one of the groups, and now when i render the house it render the revers face. i don't know how to fix this problem and it quite a big task to change and remap the all metatarsals another thing i don't know why when i create a face it it doesn't assign the materials to both face some times it dose and some times it doesn't Sorry I missed you post. We have not discovered a good way to get email notification from new posting on the SCF which related to Render Plus products. (Thank you to Richcat for re-posting this on the IRender nXt forum). Here is the response we placed on the IRender nXt Forum: http://nxt.accurender.com/forums/p/1474/6312.aspx IRender nXt can only render one material per face. If you want a face do look different from each side, you need to make a thick surface - with two faces which are not coplanar, and place different materials on each side. If a face has two materials, we use the material on the front. If a face has only one material, on the back, we use that material. We keep discussing other options, such as: Always you the material which is on the side of the face facing the camera. This has the problem that if the back of the object is visible in a mirror, or reflected on a shiny surface, we will have chosen the wrong material for that face. Since SketchUp does not process reflection, it does not have this problem. Always create two rendering faces for each face. This will make you model twice as large when we extract it, and will take longer to render. We may offer one or both of these "solutions" as an option. However, for now it is best if you use SketchUp's "reverse face" feature where it helps and/or remove materials from faces which render from the wrong side.

Dama, There is an item called Check for Updates on the Help menu. Layout is included with the Pro version of SU only. If you're using the free version, as I am, you don't have it. ~Voder

There is a way of making one way transparencies, have a look at the attached model: transparent.skp

the smoothing was the problem...got it now! thanks!!
