    • RE: Street Scene Rendering Tutorial

      It worked, but I had to follow me every single face in the drawing...
      I tried to do multiple select by option clicking, or shift clicking, and i tried grouping and making a component.. none of which worked..? how do i follow me multiple faces at once?

      having a hard time extending this cross section with the follow me tool. The plug in works, sort of...
      but it seems like i am missing a step, because i cant push more then one surface at a time, and once i use the make face plugin, the follow me tool will not follow curves?

      this is my working file...

      hopefully Its a simple fix! The frustration is building pretty quick! ๐Ÿ˜

      Thanks Chris,

      I'll try the "make faces" plugin...

      I uploaded a copy of the simple cross section dwg to my server for your reference.

      The Follow Me tool is great, and I have had no problems so far incorporating corners into my drawings..

    • RE: Street Scene Rendering Tutorial

      OK, I have the Import working..
      but it looks like i have to trace over the DWG cross section in order for it to register as a solid shape, not just a bunch of line segments. Is there a way i can lock the cross section, and trace over it without modifying the lines in the cross section? i cant figure out how to lock the segments.

      Chris,

      Can I bring in a cross section from AutoCAD, or do I have to redraw them in SketchUp?

      Wow, I really appreciate that Chris!
      I have been drawing all the components as seperate objects, trying to align everything is a pain.
      I love your technique.. simple, and effective.

      How would I go about adding a corner into the mix? I assume its just a matter of copying the original shape, pasting it at a new angle, and completing the shape with the arc tool?

      Thanks again Chris. Amazing.

      Thanks!
      I am slowly working my way through Google's video tutorials..
      They seem to be pretty comprehensive!

    • Street Scene Rendering Tutorial

      I'm looking for some direction or tutorial help on rendering street scenes in SketchUp.
      I have been doing all my work in Illustrator, but having everything rendered in a 3D scene would make my job much more efficient.

      I have played around a bit with SketchUp, but am having a hard time drawing roads / curbs / medians.

      I have attached a few examples of the type of work I'm producing in Illustrator to give an idea of the output I'm looking for.

      I assume this would be pretty easy stuff to produce in SketchUp once I learn some fundamentals!

      Any help would be much appreciated!

      Thanks & Cheers
