      Hi Jody and welcoem!

      I am not an architect myself so I can only suggest "lay" things like always try to keep the end-usrs in mind and place them before your design ideas (I could not convince those practicing old farts here to change their ways of thinking but you are hopefully young enough) πŸ˜„

      Anyway, free yet powerful rendering application is Kerkythea. It has several "siblings" like Twilight that runs stratight inside SketchUp (and only $ 99 but they even have an educational version if I am not mistaken) or Thea - which a really powerful studio renderer but they can come later. Start with Kerkythea. It is not the easiest to get hold of but can produce beautiful ersults.

      Then most of the other rendering apps also have trial versions so you do not need to confine yourself to a single program just because it is free.

      Gai...

        Hello

        My name is Jerry, I am a new participant in the sketchup train. Looking good so far but so many different avenues to take, where do you recomend starting. I have already pretty much mastered the basic level and I am wanting to model furniture. Shout out to the Cadfather.

              Hi all

              First of all I'd like to just point out my joy in the overall look and design of these forums, they are truly unique and reflect the simple nature of Sketchup.

              I've just recently started using Sketchup 8 Pro for work. My aim is to do a few courses to bring me up to speed. I aim to combine my Photoshop skills with SU to add value for the comapany I am working for.

              Having played around with SU over the past week I've noticed how addictive it is to use. My crazy mind mixed with this program produces all types of creations haha. Anyway hope to learn alot from you all and give back as much.

              Cheers

                Hello Admin

                I recently purchased Interior Design Course 4 book by Adriana Grandos. Unfortunately when I was downloading it, my machine crashed. On all of the other books I downloaded, I was sent an email by Apache with a link to download the book, but I didnt get one on this. I have proof of payment should it be required.

                How is best to go about resolving this issue

                Many thanks

                Jerry

                      Hi!
                      My name is Tim and I'm a Sketchaholic. I've only been using the program for a couple of months, beginning shortly after ordering a Replicator 2. I designed a major project ahead of it landing, which turned out to be a really bad idea...to many mistakes in the manifold. I found this forum, in fact, via a link to Manifold v2.2 by TIG.
                      Cheers!

                            'SolidSolver' - No way I'd mistype that !
                            Perhaps I have a AutoHotkey virus in AutoCorrect ?????

                                        It wasn't me either.

                                        Check the logs for an edit at that time.

                                          Having analyzed the Mods' logs I can see no one editing that post - although an Admin might do so with no trace ?
                                          It's just a mystery... I might mistype 'SolidSolver'... but making it something else that is so specific is very very unlikely.
                                          I do have AutoHotkeys AutoCorrect, but looking through the look-up list there's nothing you could type that would end up with that phrase ?
                                          A mischievous imp ??
