@xrok1 said: @unknownuser said: But.. what does it mean "You do not have the required permissions to view the files attached to this post." ??? that usally happens when you are in a forum that you aren't a member of or you aren't signed in. one of the mods will have to answer that. you are obviously a member here. Yup, you muszt be a member and also (at least sometimes) signed in otherwise couldn't post (s a "Guest"). Maybe you weren't signed in when viewing the post with the attachment? If you still have problems, please, PM me (although you have to be signed in for that too) or use the link in my "signature" to send an email. As for the photo > 3D model workflow; yes, PhotoMatch seems to be a good solution.

Replacing them would probably be a good start, checking the face direction as hebrides said wouldnt hurt either.

@solo said: Never seen this either, must be a video card issue. There is no way to upgrade you GPU on a Mac? I cannot confirm this as I always assumed Mac's updates included current firmware and drivers. what i meant is that the user cannot download a driver and update his card. the updates are probably included on each system upgrade.

Perhaps it would be possible to do something by hiding and unhiding number components?

ok .........

Thanks James, The conpet of "dynamic objecdts" is amazing, I will try to study and may be one day Il'' be able to build my own ones. I couldn't find any dynamic esclators in the wharehouse, as correctly Gaieus reports. Nevermind... Thanks for help

I have the same problem, nice guide.

mmm... I've had quite a few issues with imported DWG from AutoCAD or other applications. (blocks with origin point far of would make the blocks, converted into components in SU jitter and do all sorts of weirdness.) My workflow for importing DWG is: Copy only the required data to a fresh new DWG file. Then Purge in AutoCAD. Open a new instance of SketchUp, import the DWG, delete unwanted garbage the import brought along Purge the SU model Copy to the working model That normally get rids of most problems.

I really appreciate your effort on this, very neat way of doing it. Erkan GENCOL

Well done Dave.

@unknownuser said: everyone has their own method huh? here's how i would do it.. 30x40 base, 6 1/2" square at top.. i had to guess the height (20" to bottom of square top) and the amount of vert at the base (2.5" on the long side and 1" on the short)... here's a link to the movie and i'll attach the final skp as well. http://homepage.mac.com/jeffhammond/.Public/boxthing.mov i use a lot of shortcuts and rubies but it should be fairly self explanatory.. any questions, just ask. why didn't i think of that? unfolded: [image: Eceu_Capture.JPG]

It'"s not a question of "deserving" or not but really just of time. @wathavy said: (I love those emocons.) And we even have SketchUp icons, too! Like these ones (and even more - I just cannot insert all into one post):

I had problems with the latest nVidia drivers for the Quadro FX3500 card at work. I could only have one OpenGL application open at a time. Any more and they would start complaining about lack of video memory ir start acting odd. Reverting back a couple of version sorted it out.

Here is a sample (although needs better foreground) with IDX. Did anyone mention SU's watermark, or photo match (sort of). [image: r4ZQ_RenderMakai01.jpg] [image: O4Uu_temp01.jpg]

Thanks Paul! Middle button it was. I remember I had changed the mouse batery around the time that happened and for a few minutes the cursor was frosen. Now the mouse wheel was set on 'universal scroll' . This is going to save me alot of time.
