you want your textures to tile, you just want the tiles to be seam-less and non-repeating (no obvious elements that make a distinct pattern), tileable textures are your friend, especially with stone, block, and wood textures.

Hi, I am thanks a lot of your tip about .NET FRAMEWORK, it saved me

@unknownuser said: You could setup different scenes that have the axis set differently in each scene. If you uncheck all the options for each scene but the model axis, your scene buttons will do nothing except change the model axis. Interesting use of scenes - nota benissima

Thank you Remus and Thomthom, I copied the model and pasted it in another new file in SU6. But this has not solved the problem. This is happening only with this particular file. Anyway, I shall manage with SU6 for this file. Because of my slow internet connection I am unable to upload the file. With best regards PRSS

I've had no compatibility problems with Windows7 with the 3D applications I've tried. Sketchup, Rhino, Vue, 3DMax, Bonzai ... there's been some more trials I've tried, but I can't remember right now. Basically - I think that if it worked on Vista it works on W7. The only thing that you need to pay special attention to is applications that require drivers. But usually Vista drivers will work.

FYI: I added support for bugged circles in my Selection Toys plugin. http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=180&t=14975 If you select all entities and then Right-click->Select Only->Circles it'll select all the circles - even those that SU claims are arcs and incorrectly reports as 720 degrees.

Hi Vizier, The rendering was done by Kerkythea 2008. Karlheinz

Hi Pichuneke, thanks for your efforts but i couldn't install the program. Do you have some screen shots from works you have done with this program? to give me an impression. Karlheinz

You can. Problem is that one side or that volume you are trying to PP through the wall is somewhere inside the wall. So from the surface, you may be trying to PP it through but then it flips and disappears and appears on the other side. Right click the wall > Hide and PP your volume. Then go to Edit > Unhide and unhide your wall. Note that it's grouped (probably multi layered) so if you want your PP'ed volume to interact with it, you'll need to edit it (or all the groups) first (or copy the volume into the groups) multi layer wall test1.skp

Hello Aidan

No luck. I went in firewall settings and allowed SU. I even restarted the computer and still can't connect.

OK, better this way. The 3D Warehouse "Swivel" function (or the SketchUp Web Exporter) is not Flash based but JavaScript. You can already do it very easily even without any serious knowledge of programming or scripting - have a look at this article in "The Daily CatchUp" (and follow the link at the bottom to the SketchUpdate article). There are a bunch of other ways to integrate a SU model (via different export options) into a web page - let them be "simple" movie files or even interactive walkthrough solutions (some of which indeed involves Flash but not necessarily). MOV files are not the "best" for (real) walkthroughs as they will provide a single viewport from where you can look around in a "virtual reality" panorama and maximum you can link several ones together to "jump" from one place to the other using hot spots. Here is one I made (no hot spots though just a single panorama) built in SU and rendered in Kerkythea: http://www.gaieus.hu/su/videos/Carmelite.mov Then there are pdf versions like this one: http://www.gaieus.hu/su/VskR.pdf Then another solution which needs a browser plugin called Hypercosm however: http://www.gaieus.hu/su/Vsk.html And many more (some including really cool,"real" walkthroughs which are like FPS games but I'm still just experimenting with them)

Hi Navop, hi folks. Dont confuse the Rotate Tool and the Protractor that is used to measure angles and add guides at an angle. Just ideas.

Here is what google has to say about using the tape measure tool to resize your component. In your case if you measure any part of the component and type in half that number it should change your 10' component into a 5' component. [image: h2hj_Picture96.jpg]

That's a great idea. Thanks!

Well, in V-Ray the dispalcement has a very weird result, you think subdividing the mesh will make the dispalcement work? Also, what is the max polycount per model that SU can handle, is it better to break up a large model into segments or import it as a hole?

Well I figured it out by myself...theres a little options button in the export dialog box that I never saw before. Now that I have found that I can now really start using sketchup for my maps and scene backdrops (for D&D games).
