Ok. Thanks

It's now 2014. There's a SketchUp Basecamp coming in ~two months... Remember what usually gets announced at/around a Basecamp ?

Why don't you try Sandbox? [image: Zprp_sandbox.png]

Sundad; If you have reason to invest in the Pro version other than the issue herein then by all means , but it seems the version you are using now should allow a better result. Suggest you post your model as requested before. Curious your comment about fonts bad on different machine. Does that mean the one you used for drawing creation OK?

@jesterrrrrr said: Is there a way of reversing faces without exploding? You can have a look at the ReverseOrientFace tool (part of Fredo tools)

I'm curious how many user accounts you plan to use

Maybe name the different Components / groups who have a grass material ?

You can always set the shortcuts to something you are more familiar with. Window/Preferences/shortcuts.

Thanks Guys, Cotty, you are right. I need I to lay it over a concrete floor so when it is rendered it comes out. The car park is large so the corner details won't show. I have tried the http://sketchucation.com/pluginstore?pln=DM_ProfileBuilderFree_v.1.1.0 plugin and that works great, See attached. This is perfect for what I need as the layout keeps changing so I needed a quick way of doing it. Cheers, James [image: mmSN_Temp1.png] [image: iWDb_Temp2.png]

I have the same issue. It seems that the data you get via Add location is different from the data in Google Earth. In my case I even see a difference in the satellite footage. My guess is that, for some reason, the Add location dialog is using a completely different (older?) dataset than GE itself...

Tks much, Dave.

@db11 said: Thanks for the answer -- I'll download the other one and give it a try. Just realized that it's all one package with two toolbar options... got it!

@box said: Have you edited the transparency within SU, that can make things look wrong. A PNG with a transparent background is different to a transparent PNG. Also it seems to be caused by looking at the back faces, try flipping them to see if that is the problem. If you upload the model someone should be able to see what is going on. I suggest it isn't a Bug! I have not edited the transparency - I'll try to flip the faces. thanks.

(a purist try to make anything in a same program: Su is a cool candidate! Blender also! Of course you right like for draw real cuves sometimes better is use this little thing! Maybe that interest you! An incredible direct 2D functions drawer! [image: agraph2.jpg]

seems Round edges by fredo6 can make thet!

There a lot of choices out there, as you know. All renderers have their lighting and material systems which are generally not compatible with those of the other renderers. This makes it difficult to learn and evaluate very many of them. If you are looking for suggestions - Don't waste too much time setting up materials in SU. I use Twilight and am happy with it's biased/un-biased approach.
