I just change to Mac and had the sane problem, to pick a color use the magnifying glass just below to the color wheel icon (this is the first icon on the left of the 4 in the color window upper part)

Steve, i sent a PM, but I'm not sure if I submit correctly, please inform me if you got it.
Tks

David, attached is a PDF file containing the article The Drawing Board from the Urbanite magazine (June/2009, Issue No.60) in which you can see how people from Baltimore are inviting the community to give some ideas in a transit system project, by using Google Sketchup.

So far, I don’t know how the project is doing (I don’t live there) but you can get some ideas.

but how do I trim and fit the terrain snugly around the edges of my current geometry?

To trim the terrain grid into your garden area you could follow this steps:

1. Using the perimeter lines from your model draw the garden area that will content the terrain. The terrain grid have to be bigger than the garden area.
2. Group this new area.
3. Select the terrain grid and activate the Drape Tool.
4. Now click on the grouped face to drape the grid into it.
5. You could delete the original grid.
6. Now edit the group. Use the smoove tool to shape your garden area.

Justo, you can achieve what you want with the drape tool from sand box tools, watch the TIN_Planter file that you can download from SuWiki site

Edson and Fernando maybe is to late but happy independence day

As Tom said hot linseed oil coating we you used for spanish clay brick, if you want more burn you could use mix burn diesel (used diesel).

Daniel, nice model, could i ask how did you do the embossed letters.

Thanks

Five month i had backpain i think it was something like arthritis and i began to take "cloruro de magnecio" (i know is spanish)and now I do not have more pain. You coul you could search someting about that in the internet because i thouth there are no comercial drug for that.

BTW in your last avatar you look more skinny, congratulation

Bruce, there is a free video tutorial at go-2-school.com called "The Sketchup Show #17: Sandbox Part Duex" it shows how to use the imported image from GE (the color one) as terrain texture.

Boo, i love your collections, thx for sharing

Surely, this is exactly what i need.

Thank Gideon!

Gidon. Im newbie with SU, Rener & forum, i dont know if im repeating this post because i tray in two other opportunity, but i want you to say the Display cabinet is a nice model, i have fun rendering it in podium. I made some of your group as component and flipped in that way is more easy change texture, there are a good tutorials in go-2-school.com some are special for you, teaching how improve the tools in SU to make cabinet.
I do this just for fun, as a banking worker i dont have time to play with tose wonderful tools, as you do.

make and save a file with the component in front view (Preferably use the zoom extends tool to display all the component in your screen), then select the component and open the component window and select the In Model option in drop box, then right click on the thumbnail and choose Reload and answear Yes and choose the name of the file that you save from the begininng.

Edson is right, that video show all about section animation, i made my first antimation and post on forum portugues i used a model from Arqpadao, here is my video

Don't forget to visit the 3d warehouse somebody point to a really interested collection at 3d warehouse, some model are from arqpadao who is a very active member of the Forum Portuguese in the Foreign languages section.

Here is the link:

Yes this happens to me, and I have realized that all the faces take the texture , including the internal faces, that they assume they must be back face.

Then another questions, if the back bace take texture, likes Nick's model, this affect the file size?

At least there are two Gremistas in this forum "TCHE!", I'm from El Salvador butI lived in Porto Alegre for 5 years (until 1981), and i admired the way the brazilian architects work with urban furniture, btw yours are really nice.
If you need texture for your cor-ten furniture visit this site http://www.websitetoolbox.com/tool/post/supodiumforum/vpost?id=1873412&highlight=steel
this is a PODIUM forum, there are a nice people helping each other to learn how to render with an easy plugin for SU, which you can download a trial version at this same website.

Muita saudade de sua cidade.

Done
