Hi yes the buildings are my work, we also do another range with pitched roofs, o even vertically clad cedar. Many of the choices are the customers own. I'm unsure what to do post processing as I never get to a high level with adobe. I bump map the grass in podium.

You have Piranesi which is a real "3D Photoshop" The link seems to be closed just now: http://www.piranesi.co.uk/ (hope it's only temporary ) so I send a You Tube link as example http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cO2KKD5rJTo&feature=channel_page Fotosketcher is only for PC EDIT: Bad news: searching the Piranesi link to send it here, I found that Informatix editor of Piranesi has some real problems: http://www.informatixsoftware.com/forums/showthread.php/3122-Informatix-Inc.-Japan-Statement

The fence is great just what dynamic is good for.

@unknownuser said: wow, i really screw this thread up.. i meant to make a new post that quoted some of what i wrote in my previous response but i ended up editing that post instead.. so, my last post may not make much sense in the threaded order.. sorry. regardless, maybe autosave is causing 1/2 of my crashes ?? Jeff, try it with autosave on, and autosave off, and compare the amount of crashes. see which works best for you. I did that a long time ago, and OFF works best for me. Either way, keep on sketchupping.

Thanks guys
