      I have to say "thank you"!
      Last week I made my diploma as an landscape architect.
      Now I'm finally an graduated engineer (here in Germany it's called Diplom Ingenieur)

      And you are part of it!

      Thank you for all these helpful lessons I was learning here, which helped me out through all these sleepless nights behind the display to solve many problems for my final paper.
      Thank you for the advices I was consuming passively.
      Thank you for all these components.
      Thank you especially for all these free scripts and of course the very reasonable ones @smustard.
      Thank you to see other people having the same problems as me.
      (special thanks to boofredley for the ram advices πŸ˜‰)

      And thank you for this GREAT FORUM!!!!

      Of course you were part of my expressions of thanks (which is part of every diploma thesis).

      With your help, my work was ratet with an 1.0 (it's like an A+).
      And now my professor offerd me to teach other students at my university of applied sciences how to use sketchup!!!!

      I'm so happy.

      THANK YOU ALL

      For everyone who wants to know:
      I was planning an concept for an whole developing area, with very hard constraints.
      I remodelled an area with the size of over 50.000mΒ² (about 540.000 square feet) including the terraced terrain with a gradient of over 10 percent.
      I made an 5min animation and over 30 renderings which took over 5 hours each.
      The whole modelling and rendering took over 1000 hours to complete, i know there are more realistic results possible but working with such a big project didn't leave much time to become fussy. especially by having a look at the filesize of over 120MB (yes the model was already optimezed, i learned a lot here πŸ˜‰ )... this was pain, but worth it i think.

          Yes it is Coen. I'm sure you got many suggestions to improve this one πŸ˜„.
          Beside, my work did not have the focus on creating the perfect SU-Model.
          SU was a tool to visualize my ideas beside many other facts, in a sustainable need of time.
          If you like to and you got the patience to wait till end of January (after I was presenting my work to the town council), I would be very happy if I could send the file to you.
          So please let me know if this is OK, and how you like to receive this bunch ideas (how about bittorent?).

          And thanks Graig! Nice to see some Motorcycle-keen people here in this virtual world πŸ˜‰(knowing your part of the big "G"). My Prof is very interested to see the improvements in SU coming the near future, to complete involving SU in the Landscape design workflow.
          The next step is up to me, to show the common (cad knowing) masters of landscape architecture at my university, how powerful SU can be. I'm a bit excited of course πŸ˜‰, but SU will convince them, I hope...

                        That got me laughing so hard my chair shook, typo notwithstanding!

                        Back to topic, CONGRATULATIONS Marne for the diploma. Best wishes for your future.

                              Thank you guys!
                              I'm still happy and off the table now, getting normal liver-count values again πŸ˜„

                              PS:
                              In boring lessons, you were never dreaming of rocking after your graduation over all these tables in the auditorium to one of your favourite songs πŸ˜„ ?
