      Hi Tig,

      I've worked out why I wasn't understanding you well, you use SU 6 and I use SU 7 and the bonus packs are in different places. I need to do some work to understand what you mean about reworking plants, I'll look at it in detail at the weekend, and thanks again for your help.

      Hi Solo,

      thanks to you too, I've looked at your site, your plants are great, are they to scale? What would interest me is a collection of very rough models in terms of round, pyramid, spiky etc forms and a choice of sizes, height and width, so I can get a quick view of how a planting composition works. I currently do it all by hand. It doesn't really matter to me if the plant looks realistic for this purpose.

      I looked at some of your other stuff, those interiors look like photos, are they really models? Is that what rendering is? I have SO much to learn! I guess that's why I'm on the newbie forum!!

        I use the latest v7.1... BUT most of the unique v6 stuff can still be useful [even v5 or 4 !!!] 😉
        I mean edit plants to suit what you want them to do - be 2D, be 3D have 'ages' etc etc...

          Hi again Tig,

          I've tried downloading v6 bonus pack, I can download it but it wont install, is this because I haven't got v6 SU installed? I'm intrigued to see what's in it.....

            Sally, I have the SU6 Bonus Pack installed and it works fine with SU7...maybe the problem is where the bonus pack is being installed...Make sure it is under "Google SketchUp 7" (not Google SketchUp 6)-- my file path looks like this:

            C;\Program Files (x86)\Google\Google SketchUp 7\Components

              Sally is on a Mac, so that directory location is not going to be the same as on the Mac. And currently it seems Sally can't find her installation location for SU.

              Lately you've been tan, suspicious for the winter.

                    TIG: I´ve got one question: How can one use signature in skp file, how you have it in your model posted in this topic?

                    thanks. C.

                      You can add any image as a watermark in your styles dialog. There are a bunch of options - in this case it is obviously not stretched to cover the full background and nor is set to tile. Also, it is (probably) not a background watermark but an overlay.

                        As Gai says - use a Style with a watermark... 😉
