A 2D component which visually rotates.... HOW?
-
Hi all this is my first post!!
Hi World of sketchup users and site founder for providing us with a hook up!!
I am an allotment gardener and have used sketchup to help me model some things for the garden and help me lay it out.
I used it to build my shed (important for that cup of tea).
And I designed a coldframe too to store my young seedlings.
I thought it would be usefull in helping me sow my seeds at the optimal distances apart and provide a visual representation of this and how it would fit into my available space. So what i did was create some 3D vegetables. Eg. here
recommended plant spacing for carrots
I found that these slow my old PC down quite a bit and found this 2D plant which rotates to face the user when viewed from any angle.
Ive attached the plant so you can see it in action.
A 2D Plant that always faces the user
I just want to know how you do this, as this technique would reduce my file sizes and speed my computer up.
Thanks for reading.

PS
I have created a Waterbutt myself if anyone needs one.Enjoy
Cant wait to start on a greenhouse design!!!

To get somethign to always face the camera, the carrot in your case, you jsut need to select the object, right click on it and click 'make component', you'll then get an options dialogue, one of the tick boxes is 'always face camera', select that and your away.

Remus.... You are a legend, thanks for such a speedy response.

Once again thanks for your help!

You also need to make sure that immediately before you right-click on the object and turn it into a component, that you are in Front view...and that it is squarely facing you...otherwise it will always be at an angle.
