How about that?

Furniture grade oak plywood. I pencil everything out on the center sheet. Then I apply the stain so it just goes slightly over the pencil marks. That way there is a lot of raw wood to make a good bond with the glue. If you glue first the squeeze out will seal the wood so it will not take stain at the joints.

Also you need to support the door evenly during glue up because the individual sheets will not resist bending and if they bend during glue up the door will be permanently ruined. I framed the pantry door nicely. The frame on the bathroom door is warped because I forced it. Somethime in hte next decade I need to tear it out and try again.

Even better you will find what you need at http://www.ultra3d.com 🤓

I really like the design of that house, it looks great A.

Ááá... Gidooon!
😄 😄 😄

Thanks a lot Tom.

Good Charcoal effect, thanks Gidon.

Thanks CadFather. The tree plans will come in very
handy 😉

WOW! Kris is that you? you feel relax in your
new pic. Not scary anymore joke only!

can someone help me??

I installed a second video card, and now Sketchup consumes 1/2 of my quad-core CPU.

My solution is to only use one video card during use of Sketchup.
I found that if I reduce my desktop from 4 monitors to 2 (just one video card in use), then start Sketchup, it performs normally.

Hope that helps.

nVidia?

I had a Geforce 6800 GT and I installed a Geforce 8800 GT and found that my OpenGL application all dropped performance. DirectX powered applications worked fine. Apparently it's a drive issue.

Grow works on any platform...

Didier's site has LOTS of goodies...

Anssi is correct...open GL redraw "droppings".

Thanks for helping out!

Welcome, Titmas.

I'm sure that you will find, as I did, the friendly folks at this forum to be very helpful. A great place to learn. 😄

SchreiberBike - Exactly right.

Here's a quick file using the houses example above.

Copy/Mirror/Scale one or more of the footprints then switch on the House-Body layer.

Layer Grouping Example

Here is a tut that Kris put together. You can look it over.

There are some other discussions going on about organization as well. A search might reveal some of them.

Edit: Here is Part 2 of Kris' tut.

Wait a minute, man,

IFyou are importing GE snapshot & terrain, you have a 2D snapshot (meant to allow you to trace object there - if the resolution i9s high enough) AND a z-axis elevation of the snapshot that is called "GE Terrain" (have a look into your layers).

If you really want to have a georeferenced model, why on earth would you like to delete it?
Yet if you did really like to delete it, unlock the GE Terrain, select it and then just delete. You may also want to delete the layer assigned to it afterwards (since it wouléd then be emty anyways).

Hm... It just does not make snese to me - but please, explaine if there is a good reason; I'd really like to know it!

Cheers;

Haha yeah I would agree with that.

Tom,

I am planning to do something similar. What I'm thinking of is to model blocks (instead of individual buildings or the whole town altogether) for these blocks consist of individual buildings attached to each other (i.e. easier and more precise to work in this way).
Then you can upload them to the Warehouse one by one and when finally getting into the 3D Layer of GE, trhey will form the whole town.

If not that is the purpose (just a huge model in SU) you can still do the modelling in this way and yes, at the end you can "import" these individual blocks as components and assemble them in a big "master model".
