Nothing to do with Excel Tables ! Purely Modelling. ... Yes, currently you can Intersect with Model. This works well. However, afterwards you frequently want to delete some unwanted portions of your model. This can sometimes be very fiddley and intricate to make sure you select only the parts you want to be deleted and nothing else. ... A Boolean type tool would essentially do the Intersect with Model and the Tidying up afterwards in one operation. It would enable you to very rapidly create complex geometry from simple geometry eg by using one object to clip another ... Solid modelling with Autocad and other programs has this ability. My initial post points to an add-on for Autocad that suggests this may be possible with meshes and faces also. ... Howard L'

A significant, and to me valuable, feature Pro has is the response of the Google QA team to bug input. The latest ones I have logged have all had very fast responses from them. They have been very good about chasing things down. Not quite as good as Lemkesoft but good none the less.

misunderstood, sorry!

IMO too iRender is overpriced for this market as well as most of the other add-ons. dtr

Hey, your kitty cat is back. Great to "see you" again Tom. That goal is great. What can I say but Gooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaaaallllllllll

Very Nice Eric. Now try one of these. http://www.lets-have-a-party.co.uk/cat--Adult-Pirate-Costumes--AF160G.html

No, they have to contribute stuff on the same basis as everyone else, Tom. It's just that they are already registered. All very "co-operative" We are thinking of using this flyer. [image: smallxchange_ruski.jpg]

P Miller rong name but it's for your good eye dtr

Hm... There is some problem with the file though - I textured it with GMLTexturizer plugin and Kerkythea for instance cannot find any of the textures. What I guess, GML Texturizer creates new textures from the old ones (not sure about this though) and when I deleted some of the (seemingly) unnecessary textures to purge the model (before posting it here), I seem to incidentally delete the needed ones, too. I may try to redo the whole thing to see what's up. Also, since GML Texturizer positions and distorts the texture, Kerky may not be able to handle it (I read some posts by Tomasz regarding this kind of issues though mainly with photomatch - and I don't know ruby at all anyway so I'm not sure this would be the case here, too).

Very good work Eric, as usual! Daniel

Here is another way. Make a new file. Make a rectangle on the ground plane. Make whatever changes you want to the object you made using the styles pane (choose your style or make a new one). Delete the object. Save the file with a name of your choosing in some nice stable place on your hard drive. Close the window. Open Preferences (on a Mac under the Sketchup menu) choose Templates, browse to where you saved your file and choose it as your template. Open a new file. Make an object, it will have the characteristics of your saved style.

degen, is the model to be placed in the foreground? And what SU are you using? Gai really set me up here...I'm no expert, just tenacious at times, but I will try to help.

Ross, we're in the same conditions as you are except we haven't got a greenhouse or grapefruit trees. My brother bought some Adirondack chairs made out of the plastic-wood decking--Trex or whatever--they are nice because they don't need to be refinished and they are heavy enough so they won't blow away. I know what you mean about them adding a nice touch to the mood of a model. Best of the holidays to you.

I have had some success extruding two arches through each other and then using the intersect with model feature. Here is one simple example. [image: m8Bl_arches.jpg]
