      Need help,
      I have a landscape layout that I created in sketchup 6. When I download a model from 3D warehouse, say for instance a tree or other large files into my layout. The file tends to be very large and slows down the regeneration of my layout when trying to view it from different angles. How can I lighten the file that I'm downdloading from 3D warehouse to make it quick and easy to view and rotate? without having to wait for a long period of time for the view to regenerate. some files have a lot of memory.

      thanks J

        The easiest thing to do is not do the trees in SU in the first place, it will speed up layout a lot if you add them in as blocks.

        If you need them in SU as well, you could put them all on a hidden layer so they dont show up in layout unnecessarily.

          Remus, I don't think Jeff is talking about LayOut (the application) but a layout of design, more generally.

          Jeff; Remus is right. Many-many of those WH trees are too heavy for SU to handle even a small bunch of them. You can hide them, navigate and work and only display them when rendering a scene into some raster image or video.

              I think its fair to say that the warehouse models are generally pretty heavy. You needed a QD tree. You made an upside-down icecream cone. Do you UL it to the warehouse? Probably not. You needed a realistic tree. You spent days on it. That's the one you UL to the warehouse.

              I would LOVE to have some passable light-weight trees, by the by. Anyone stumbling across some, please post the good news!

                Pete (solo) has some usable collection of garden plants (for sale) here: http://solosplace.com/3Dgarden.aspx
                Hope he'll also come out with his next, "tree" (or what) pack soon. That would be more useful for me.
