Hi all!
I just joined this group. I have been working on Sketchup for almost 2 years now...and have managed to create some models. Currently I am working on a project that has long lengths of road that need to draped around a terrain.
I am having problems post draping.Although the lines are all joined in Autocad..they seem to disintegrate after draping, and hence I am having troubles filling in the material.
Any suggestions? -
Hi Mosmi,
With such a file, better than somehow upload it (if it's not too large, here) I cannot really suggest anything.

Hi,
New user, I'm about to buy 7pro. I will also be buying a rendering package at some point, but thought I'd get used to SU first for a while. But mainly I know that with new software, means some new hardware as my old set up is aging to the point of uselessness. (had been doing modeling in ACAD with another rendering tool so am comfortable with modeling in general.)
So If I'm buying a new laptop, are there threads that you can recommend to do some reading? (video setup, processors etc) Happy to listen to any product suggestions or warnings too. But content to read up if i know I'm looking in the right place. (I am continuing to use the search function as well)
Thanks for all the input. I have a lot to learn and catch up.

Hey Greg,
I like new computers too, but if you want to run SU on a laptop its just a heads up that you need to by a 3-button mouse with it.
As for specs there is one right here to help you. -
Hey guys, newbie to the forum, but I have been using skethup for a few years. Hoping to tap into the brains trust, and hopefully aid some people as well. Look forward to working with you guys.

Hi Mike and welcome!

Greetings Everyone!
Started using SketchUp a few days ago and like a drug addict, I just can't get enough. I'm a former mechanical product engineer and come from a world of Pro/E, Acad, SolidEdge, etc. This is by far the most intuitive program and I'm really enjoying it.
BTW, I've been working on modifying my entertainment center using SketchUp first and have run into a few minor questions... guess I need to post it in the appropriate area so as not to offend anyone?
Thanks and look forward to mingling some more.

Hi,
My name is Mark and I'm hoping to learn to draw building floor plans that I can later make 3d and go inside. I want to build an addition on my house so I thought I'd try that first. I made a basic floor plan of my existing house but just used lines. I'm thinking that was a mistake and I'll probably have to start over. What are the best tools to use to get started from scratch? -
Hello,
I'm a very basic user of SketchUp. The only tricky thing I can do is sometimes get "Follow me" to work which I learned when I wanted to model a heated towel bar with curved metal tubes. I was so proud of myself!. I love SU! I modeled up the tile layout of my bathroom which saved me from all manner of misunderstandings with the tile guys! I have laid out poultry pens (I raise show chickens) and have been slowly working on a model of the Vila of Papyri (very slowly). Currently, I am trying out various profiles of crown moulding for the same bathroom as the tile.

Hi Bantymom and glad you could make it through your email issues.
These sound interesting (especially the villa )

I downloaded some styles shared by Lin.
http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?p=181498#p181498
I want to try to use them and I can't seem to get them into the Styles window.
Also, How can I edit my profile?
Kind regards,

Hello,
Just joined and I'm glad to be here. I already have a stupid question...
How do I import new styles into the Sketch Up program.
Kind regards,
Chuck -
U can edit your profile in your User Control Panel at the top of the page.
Styles can be saved in your styles folder for windows pc( don't know for mac?) which is located in program file/google.... Etc
then they are accessible from styles dialog box. Any styles you creates yourself can be saved too using the styles dialog box by 'add to collection' button.
But it's been awhile since I played with styles
Oh and welcome
