So what would the best workflow be, considering that I'm doing buildings in SU Pro, and rendering in Kerkythea? (When necessary; a lot of our designs go out as jpgs s traight from SU, with only the more elaborate ones going through Kerkythea. Obviously, the ones that don't get rendered don't need a detailed landscape.) Also, will this handle a situation where there will need to be trees within the modeled area? For example, 2-3 buildings that have trees between them, or a courtyard with a tree completely surrounded by the building?

@mrossk said: Due to costs and time restraints the holes didn't make it to the actual job, but it turned out nice I was just gonna ask about the holes! Yeah, it would have meant making a jig for the router then cut the holes out, round off the holes and then sanded them. Plywood is a pain in the butt to sand, I wish I had a router bit that could sand and cut at the same time- that would be a great time saver.

Sketchup "Make" ...i still have a laugh when i read this name

thank you sir,i dont use a texture photo in this model,but there are 63 component so I will try to use google drive and i just download now a ruby plugin purgeall .many thanks [image: ldhv_CONIGLIETTO3DCUCCIOLOimmagineesporta.jpg]

Thanks Box, that is exactly right. It depends on which way you draw the line.

Some folks like to use a Wacom tablet and some like the fancy mice with lots of buttons. I've tried running SketchUp on my Cintiq and with several different fancy mice. The fancy mice are in their boxes and the Cintiq is reserved for other things like photoshopping drawings. I like my inexpensive 3-button mice for drawing in SketchUp. When it comes down to it, the tools in the program are all just single point sorts of things. You draw an edge or click on something. For my money the CMB coupled with Shift work just fine for navigating around the model.

Thanks for the responses particularly Pilou it looks good but i'm not ready for such a big investment. I think the answer may lie in photoshop. I just hoped there would be something more automated.

I just glued a bit of wood with a nut in it onto the bottom of the mouse so that it screws onto the monopod fitting. Good strong industrial Velcro would probably be all you need. You could open it up and glue a nut inside so that you can screw it off and use it normally if you want. I've no idea what the difference is, I simply picked the first link in google images for monopod. It's basically a telescopic stick. A length of broom stick would be just as good and a damn sight cheaper, but not as transportable and professional looking. The glove is brilliant, I use it all the time. The connection is strong, easy to attach and detach. I felt the same about the cable at first then realised that, if it was wireless, every time I went to the kitchen to make a coffee or picked up a tape measure I would have to not touch my fingers together or my computer would be going nuts. It's a very good on off switch. It's very durable, washable and hasn't given me any problems. If you use lots of keyboard shortcuts with your digital art you will find it very useful. It's not cheap though.

I sent you a private message Chris.

I don't know. It seems pretty straightforward to me. Click on the big red button. [image: ebGW_2013-10-28_05-59-40.png] Where did you come up with all those versions? There is no Google version to download anymore. Although you could still download the pro version of SU8, they have made it so you have to search a little. It's not a difficult search but they do want you to use the currently supported version which is easy to understand. As to the admin thing for installing, don't blame the software. That's coming from the OS. The software doesn't require you to have administrative privileges but the OS is trying to protect your computer from you and others who might be interested in doing bad things to it. If you are using Windows XP, there's no need for the administrative privileges because the OS doesn't care.

You could take a look at Simon le Bon's tutorial on Gothic panels: http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=9781&p=62185&hilit=gothic+panels#p62185 Regards, Bob

Do you know about groups and components?

"Zoom to extent", or how it's named in English, solved the problem.

@ely862me said: The camber is the curvature of the side profile, the core is the longitudinal middle section and the outline is the top profile. As I said in my first posts. Intersect the profiles and run shape bender. It's exactly what I what to do! You were right with your first answer... I tried it but I made a mystake and it didn't work but now with your picture I can correct it! I would like to thank all of you!

Have you already created a 3D Warehouse account at all?

thanks elisei! joint push pull is ok!
