Hi all,

Wondering if some of you pro's can comment on which video card you have.

I'm using an nVidia 9500 512mb.

I'm wondering if I'd get a performance boost by upgrading my video RAM to 1 gig and maybe getting a faster GPU.

Thanks in advance for any advice.

Cheers!

Thanks remus.

I think this will give me a head start.

Cheers!

So, I've been playing around with the sandbox tools to make landforms and I've seen some tutorial videos on the web that demonstrate using the drop.rb to drop trees and bushes onto the undulating landscape to quickly populate some vegetation.

But now I'd like to kick that up a notch (BAM!) and drop some 3d geometry onto an undulating landform (such as a road surface with curbs). I've figured out how to drop 2d flat geometry ... but if I build up the road with some curbs, the curbs don't drop and hug the contours of the land.

For the life of me, I can't figure out a way to do this?

Am I just dense, or is there a ruby script out there that would restore my sanity?

Thanks in advance for any advice from all you gurus.

Cheers,

Thanks for the replies, mates.

I think I've worked it out with your kind assistance.

Cheers!

This is my first render attempt using Sketchup/Twilight/Kerkythea.

I'd love for you guys to critique it a bit, especially as relates to the subtleties of the lighting.

Yea, I hate the material on the frig too.

Hi all,

Wonding if anyone can expound on a problem I'm having with the point of origin of a sketchup drawing.

The drawing I am making is of a large piece of property with several houses on it.

The houses are being modeled separately from the site (just for simplicity sake). Then imported as components (and in some cases mirrored) into the "site" model.

When the "source" house models are altered, I'd like to be able to reload them in the "Site" model and this works OK, but when I do this, any rotation of the source models I've done since importing them gets lost and I have to reposition them every time.

Is there a way to reload without having to reposition the source components each time?
