My workaround is converting the groups to components. Which cutter up my component list.

Hi Rachid, hi folks. If you go to the SU site and download the Architecture Bonus Pack (free), you will get about a dozen of glass doors (simgle panel, double panels, double with sides, sliding, revolving, etc. The bonus packs can be found at: http://sketchup.google.com/download/bonuspacks.html Choose any one and then start from that to embelish it. You may, for example add frosted lettering to a glass panel by using 3D text. Paint the letters with a concrete texture that you make slightly translucent. You can change the coloring and transparency of the glass. Read the help about the Paint Bucket Tool, colors and textures and also about how to edit these. Just ideas.

Great!! And Thanks! With best regards PRSS

@anssi said: @goggin said: I'm technically minded, but will that have any advantages over using GIMP to convert to JPG? Will a DXF file have better line resolution? If the PDF is vector-based, importing it to SU as a DWG or DXF file would let you use the geometry in the file directly as a base for modelling, importing converts the linework directly into edges in SU. Even if it is not as good as having the original CAD file to model from, it would be more accurate than re-drawing it all by eyeballing from a raster image. Anssi I'll try this, but is there a way to know in advance if the PDF is vector based or not? I expect that it was created by exporting from AutoCad (or something similar).

I cannot quite say what is wrong with it, but if I copy the objects to a new model, everything works OK. Anssi

Already written... Here... Sorry !

I understand that any change in the geometry will be unhidden by default, but after undoing every step some entities do not return to their hidden state. I tried many times and I always get this behaviour even thow the unhidden entities in the resulting scene may change. thanks,

thanks i will try that when i get back to the theatre this week.

Yes, I also meant what Chris says.

Thank you one and all. I have explored all of your valuable advice. Exporting PNG's into Premier Elements worked a treat. I now have a beautifuly slick 20 scene animation. It looks great and my client loves it!!! Thanks again, I realy appreciate it!

Thanks everyone, I'll try that. Sigurd

How about some nice Romanesue churches? They may seem to be rather difficult by the first sight but you can start with a simple one and keep adding things to it (like it was actually being done hundreds of years ago).

...very nice style...my gold pen ...many thanks Dave!

bernhard, So, which driver worked for you? (You are on Vista, right?) This info could benefit others... Taff

Hi Jon, Uncheck "Use view size" in the export options window (that refers to the actual size displayed on your screen). Setting resolution used to be a Pro feature in v.5 but since v.6 it is also included into the Free version.

Hi Jorgensen, hi folks. See this SU file for ideas. Painting an outside wall.zip

Thx i did go through it,just didnt get it at first,ive done it on my work pc but this old horse does not seem to support,will have to try at home.

@bytesyzez said: Could do all this last week! SketchUp 2023 hasn't changed since last week. What did? This sounds like you've changed your process. Are youu clicking in the Measurements window? Are you changing tools before trying to change the value? Please update your forum profile. It says you're still using SketchUp 2022.
