Thanks Solo,

So I now save the png and use it as a sort of texture/colour to apply to my hedge box sides? or am I being a spanner?

Stew

Thank you guys for your replies, I have played around with 3D boxes and colours (haven't figured out how to add leaf patterns yet!) and I may just use a sort of opaque green rectangle as a hedge.

I do love this program - can't stop playing with it. Great forum, thanks fellas

Hi Guys,

I now need to draw a neat hedge for a plan and want it to look good, doesn't need to have every leaf! and ideas on a good way to model it?
Thinking about it, being able to model trees would also be good

Thanks,

Stew

Thank you guys, that's really satisfying to do, just looked at your webpages/blogs - when im more confident with SU i'll ask about the whole rendering thing!

thank you for taking the time to respond,

Hi all,

I have not used the smooth tool to date but would like to know how it functions. I have created a moulding to a building(attached) and would like to smooth the curved elements of it. Any help on how to do this would be appreciated,

great forum, inspiring stuff, thank you all for your assistance to date.

Hi everyone, firstly happy New Year to one and all,

I have a curved roof dormer window intersecting with a pitched roof slope (a single, angled plane) and have used the push/pull tool to drag the cruved roof through the plane of the pitched roof and it looks fine except that I'd like a nice crisp line to define the intersection of the two. I tried using the arc tool but this wouldn't work because the intersection isn't actually an arc.

Is there a tool that I can use to define the intersection and erase the bit of the curved roof on the inside of the pitched roof that I don't need?

Thanks,

Stew

you guys are so quick, thank you very much, perfect, I am really grateful

Stew

Hi all,

I'm trying to form two curved portions of roof in the attached drawing - I can't seem to figure it out and have had a look in the tutorials. I'm sure that its really simple to do, any help would be greatly appreciated,

Thanks,

Stew

thanks Guzman, that makes sense, guess I'll just have to work more accurately!
