I always see ramps/slopes/driveways/roofs etc. as a ratio
Unit format is irrelevant
Easy to draw using just two lines
Conversion to angle doesn't help me...

Dirkkkk
Looks good.
I would adjust the wooden floor - looks a little bit like a vinyl/carpet.
Too much bump?

I can see few historic posts about similar problem...

Hi BruceWT

The infection is spreading as we speak...

Aerilius, this is your hand and definitely your farm for SU
Next time, I'll patent my ideas before I'll make comments on SUF

Oli
Have you considered Raspberry Pi...
What about a farm built from them...

Mac? Hmmm...
Never had it, never missed it.

Krisidious thanks for sharing...

I agree with ThomThom.
We had some problems with ATI in the past...
nVidia seems to be more consistent.
Have a look this - Performance vs. Value

http://www.videocardbenchmark.net/gpu.php?gpu=Radeon+HD+6870

but read the full spec of your preferred card (check the extras included) to have 'like for like' comparison against different makers.

Hi novena,
Nice, clean render...
It follows my design philosophy of 3 colours or it has to be really strong reason to introduce more

Just out of interest...
What kind of accommodation do you have on the first floor? I assume... bedroom/s (with study?) and bathroom/shower...
If this is the case, It would be nice to see big terrace (above living...)

• no railings and the introduction of structural glazing as balustrading.
  If the client doesn't like it - do it just for the image...

Nice grass...

Drummer,
Are you able to post your SU model - PM?
I'm happy to check if I would get the same problem.

I found the full link...

Hi And_And92,
Look forward to see more...

ThomThom,
Really good plugin.
You can appreciate it if you work with AutoCAD files.
Thanks

Have a look ThomThom's [Plugin] Edge Tools (2.0.4) requires [Plugin] TT_Lib2 (2.6.0)

It is not an AutoCAD hatch but it does some nice work to edges/lines.

I have tested on your file and it works beautifully.
There is 238 gaps (before)... I did 11mm tolerance (approx 1/2inch) and
there is only 18 gaps to be fixed**(after)** - most of them are 'loose ends'...
On top of that it highlights all the gaps each time

Surrealism in SketchUp - I like it...

Hi Mike,
Some architects specialise in Bridge Design - just look - not structural aspect...

• that could be under Architecture or separate category altogether.

2D
*.SKP, *.DWG, *.DXF
Plan, Elevation, Front, Rear
I would start from here... http://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/index.php

I think you/we are heading towards LinkedIn structure with some extras.
Good idea...

I would add or substitute Architectural Design with
Architecture - mainly buildings and
Small Architecture - surrounding add-ons like benches, bins enclosures, bikes store, sheds, fences, pergolas etc

What about another category like Playgrounds
