I agree with the others. As for me though, I'm not a fan of sketchy edges. I personally like no edges, shadows at dark>20, light>85, and my personal advice: background watermark. Oh, and 3D trees WOULD be nice. Here's an example of everything I mean:

Why walk, saunter, or stroll - when you can roll!

I take the SketchUp-mobile as much as possible. I sit up top and my driver gets me where I need to go.

Is that a real car?

upload in different parts and show were to put it together

At the moment, file size isn't the problem... i think. Whenever I try to upload it to the warehouse, it says that the action is invalid, or something on the lines of that. I will try your suggestion though. (I've already got it separated into layers anyways, so it should be easy enough)

you dont GET it i dont want to post it for a reason dont ask
Yeah ... one wonders what the use of this thread is. While I objected to Jackson's by now infamous poll some time ago, I must admit that this thread proves the J-man's point.

Jackie, Stuey ... daddy Stinkie loves you.

Yeah. I;m surprised this thread's got as many posts as it does. And most of them are about the thread itself. it's like a starving animal eating itself %(#808080)[(don't ask how I came up with that comment. I don't even know )]

Wow. I was JUST doing some intersect and delete stuff manually, and was thinking about how useful it would be if there was a ruby to do it for me. I go to see if I got any comments on posts here, and viola.

are you sure that it's installed correctly?

Nice!

Once again, great job

Excellent

Does it run on macs?

IN THE BEGINNING, THERE WAS NOTHING.
...Then Chuck Norris roundhouse kicked nothing and told it to get a job.

(Note: go to google, type "find chuck norris" then click 'I'm Feeling Lucky".)
Google won't search for Chuck Norris because they know that you don't find chuck Norris, chuck Norris finds you.

Broke-back mountain isn't just a movie: It's also what Chuck Norris calls the pile of dead ninjas in his backyard.

Every night, the boogeyman checks his closet for Chuck Norris.

Some kids wear superman pajamas, Superman wears Chuck Norris pajamas.

If Chuck Norris ever found out about this discussion, he'd just delete the internet.

Never save over 100 Chuck Norris jokes on your hard drive; if you do, it'll roundhouse kick it's way out of your computer.

Never ask yourself "What would Chuck Norris do?", because the answer is that he'd kick your àss.

The best part of waking up is NOT Folgers' in your cup, but knowing that Chuck Norris didn't kill you in your sleep.

If there was a chuck norris font, it would only contain the symbols:

O.k., why not just send me a private message and attach them? (click on my username, select "Send Private message")

Just export image under the file limit, and post them.

Wait... What did you want to own?

BTW, if you want, I have a sketchyphysics version of the "Thing", but it's controls aren't correct (I gave it 4 wheel steering in the SketchyPhysics version, and it's pretty wobely and has no reverse. I only had about 20 minutes to make it work in sketchyphysics. When SP3 comes out, I'll probably be able to make a better version, as I model on a mac.)

Here's the normal (not sketchyphysics) version: It's the most complete, and not posted on the warehouse. You can edit it how you like, it's separated into components, and made easy to customize.
That, and like all my models, It has a file size so low it confuses ME.
VW Type 181 "Thing"
(BTW, if you want, you could check out my "some of my stuff..." page.

can you post some pictures?

Great stuff

I WISH I had the patience to work on a single car for that long. I've only made 1 car before(VolksWagen Type 181: "Thing"), and it was a pain, so I cut it short, and haven't modeled a car since.

In sketchup, go

File > Export... > 2D Image

Very nice! I would probobly have used a luminescence map (or transparency map with a luminescent surface above, which would considerably lower file size as the ceiling is so curved).

they are. but the bad part is they are too big to upload. i want to add my 33mb house my 4mb casino 170kb garage 2mb apartment and 2mb restaurant (will be fixed)

Post some pictures of you're house: I bet I can give you some pointers to lower the file size, I'm pretty good at that stuff.
Tip one: if you haven't done it yet, go to window menu, model info, purge unused. That'd be the most basic of all.
