Works perfectly! Thanks a lot! Take care, Nicolas

Gigi, have you found the animation options? Via Window > Model info > animation you can set how long it takes to go from one scene to another, and whether the camera should pause at each scene. Then when you export, be sure to click 'options'. Here you can un-check the box for 'loop to start', if you'd like.

I'm using V-Ray with SU V8.0. What's more I'm using the second-to-latest version of V-Ray, because I find the delay on SU start-up to be unacceptable with the latest V-Ray. You just need to make sure that, when installing V-Ray, you change the default installation folder from SU7/Plugins to SU8/Plugins. Edit: I see Thom has already mentioned this...and that you're on a Mac, but I'll leave this in place to reinforce the message for other readers.

Thanks TIG, for the very detailed information! I'm still very new to modeling, so I have a lot to learn, but those pointers sure put me in the right direction!

WOW thanks guys Sorry I didnt reply earlier been very busy. There are some gold textures here. Your all STARS

Thanks. It appears all her models have it turned on, and I have never used that feature.

Welcome, mightybluehunter, This is a great place to learn, and discuss anything you can't find an answer for. Someone knowledgeable is always here to lend a hand. Good luck! Gigi

Find it, thanks for the first response. [image: nzyO_Clipboard-3.jpg]

That did the trick! Because it was in a foreign language I couldn't tell where to click to change it, your graphic showed me what to do. Thanks so much

I don't think Joe has the pro version so no LayOut. Of course there are other applications that could be used including something common like MS Word. If this is the sort of work someone is doing frequently especially as a business and where one needs to show the output to clients, I think it would make sense to just spring for the pro version and get LayOut and get on with it.

Before such plugins and only using manual methods; http://sketchup.google.com/3dwarehouse/details?mid=1e5fdb89c7a74110a3ecfc61555240da

Google, you should also read this! http://www.tomsguide.com/us/iPad-Avatar-autodesk-Maya-3ds-Max,news-8838.html @unknownuser said: Autodesk has been around for a long time, offering well-known platforms including AutoCAD, Maya, 3ds Max and many others. The company also provides iOS version including AutoCAD WS, Inventor Publisher Mobile Viewer, Fluid FX, and SketchBook Mobile. While Bass didn't provide numbers regarding the SketchBook app, he said it was a "big hit." "We've been in the business for 28 years, and 10-12 million copies of our software have been purchased to date," Bass said. "That's a lot, but it's only an average of 11 million over all the years, and all of a sudden half a million people bought the software at the application store. This was the cheapest project we ever did, which reached more people than any other project. It surprised me."

Now that's gonna be useful!!! I think I can use that to do what I need to do, has all kinds of options for working with the components and groups. I can't tell you how much I appreciate your help - although I would still like to know why the component browser gives me such weird results. I'm firmly convinced that my basic modeling practices are far from ideal, and I'm paying for it with things like that. While I can do what I set out to do, pretty much, eventually, I think my sloppy techniques are resulting in some unnecessary bumps in the road and larger files and edge counts than need be. If I don't get it right now, it's only gonna get worse as I delve into more complicated models. Anyhow, thanks again.

Dave R— Thanks for the tip, I have not tried Shape Bender. I'll look it up. The arches are elliptical and the carving, on all the small edges, is a series of incised diamonds leaving raised squares. This is the Deacon's chair for a church I'm designing. I hope to have it built within the year. Best, JIm
