    • RE: Filling voids

      Thanks for the suggestion! I'll try to find a plug-in that does what you recommend.
      I've been trying to insert small planes into a bunch of 4 or 5 bricks at a time, trying
      to make it intersect with that group, and repeat the process so I can negotiate all the
      planar tilts. I don't have anywhere near the skill set yet, if ever, to create a contour
      blanket that parallels the whole form uniting them in one shot. Thanks again for your help!

      Best Regards!

    • Filling voids

      I have assembled a clump of brick shapes, each one touching and overlapping
      its neighboring shapes by a little, so that the whole group is interlinked.
      Each brick shape is deployed at at different angle, so in between the brick and its
      neighbors, negative spaces occur. I would like to fill those individual spaces
      with a solid shape to interlock the neighboring shapes, being able to size the
      fills so they don't obliterate the faces of the interconnected bricks. Can someone
      please offer a way to approach this? Thank you all! You helped me a lot,
      answering my first posted inquiry- thank you!!

    • Creating sculptures

      cubeclump1.jpgcubeclump1.jpgGreetings to All! I would like to recreate some of my existing sculptures,
      and create new sculptures using Sketchup 7, free version, on my Mac,
      OS 10.4.11. I know some SketchUp basics. I have included a photo of
      a part of my sculpture that I'd like to recreate using Sketchup 7.
      Can anyone suggest a procedure and method that will result in an
      accurate reproduction? Any help would be gratefully received!!

      Thank You!
