      Excellent, thank you - that is so clever. Especially grabbing the SketchPhysics model before it resets 😄

      PS I pulled up the surface with vector push-pull to create a mortar bed and ran a quick render.

                Brilliant! What a cool solution. That is a really clever and creative use of a tool in an unexpected context! Wow.

                  Hello Silver, do you have a tut on how to make the roof tiles? Your cobble tut is amazing. Thanks for sharing them.

                    This is brilliant. What I love about this model is the degree of imperfection. Walls are never flat, footpaths are never flat, fence posts are never plumb, fence rails never line up perfectly, roof tiles are never inline, cable installations are always sloppy, and this model captures every bit of that.

                    Very good eye!

                    Todd

                          this model is way more difficult and could be more fun than any model i have textured before.. so i will keep you guys posted when i have something more to put on the table on this thing again. ☀]

                            silvershadow, have you posted this over on the google groups?
                            I think it would be good to have it on their site.

                                        Today i want to share the power of sketchup itself, to encourage those who thinks sketchup is just a tool that can only build block models and nothing more.

                                        thankyou.
                                        i think you have the synthetic path for some new tools for the version 7
                                        so I wont buy it if those mixes of rubies are not fusionated in smart tools that lead to your results.¡

                                            After I rendered the cobbles I remembered TIGs Matrix Proximity script. It allows you to create an array of components with some variation in size, placement and rotation. It adds an extra level of 'difference' if you need it.

                                            Bob

                                            PS For some reason about half of the cobbles turned over on dropping so I had to make both sides rounded.
