The set up explanation was interesting and the light around the corner is the clever bit, so is there a key light behind the camera that sounds like a good idea anyway.
What is the QMC setting I know it's results take ages and it looks better but is there anymore tips on this, Thanks

Nice work, 36 mins what are you running on ?
The floor looks nice is that lots of tweaking, can you give us a run down of how you got to this quality.

Why did you model that ?

Fantastic, the building is my favorite bit

Worked instantly from that link, I must of downloaded it from somewhere else ???
Exactly what I needed, Thanks

as I said move the control points and nothing happens
it took 20 minutes to 'weigh' a panel
can you point me to the latest one maybe it's that

Thanks for the help TIG, but I have got the sketchy FFD on my right click but it still doesn't work, move the control points nothing happens and no update in the menu. If it's so simple how come there are pages and pages of conflicts on this web site. I know how to do the root installation but the Fredo set with the lib for instance, version compatibility and the folder set up is a bit cryptic. I'm sure there great tools but this is open programing without quality control.
Also, you can read updates and instal instructions for outdated versions, PC versions etc ad nauseum or just ask someone to help which I'm sure is frustrating.

The purpose of this thread is to explain how to extract files and subfolders of helper-files [with their contents intact] into the Plugins folder...
You don't usually need to 'load them from the console' , unless they are/were not in the Plugins folder at start-up.
Any .rb/.rbs file in the Plugins folder will be auto-loaded into Sketchup when it [re]starts.
Have you read all of the 'usage notes' of the problem these tools?
Some tools come as 'Extensions' which usually need a first-time activation from the Preferences dialog ...
While many such tools appear in the Plugins menu, some appear in other menus like Draw or Tools.
Some tools work just from a toolbar, which will need activating from View>Toolbars...
Some tools are context-sensitive and only appear in the right-click context-menu when you have appropriate things selected - e.g. a tool that only works on a component might not appear in the menu if there is not a component selected [AND 'SketchyFFD' needs one Group to be selected before it appears in the context-menu!!!].
A few tools only work by typing their commands into the Ruby Console, and some other 'scripts' appear to do nothing at all on their own, but they do provide support to allow other scripts to do their stuff [e.g. progressbar.rb or deBabelizer.rb]...........

All right chill out, I've know how to check extensions and menu's lol
Which thread should I use for a guide to installing the plug ins then please

I can't tell your full path to the Plugins folder from the image... is it in the 'root' HD...Library path [good] or ...User...Library path [bad].

Definitely in the HD path
sometimes with the simple .rb's they work by just dropping them in so I don't get it.
How do you load them from the console ?
I just got the SketchyFFD which I have a live project to use it on and that won't work and it's a simple file ??

I'm on Mac 10.6.8 Sketchup pro 8

Thanks, I think. I think it pips the gherkin in form as the gherkin is a bit bulbous and phallic for me. It's a bit like a cross between the shard and the gherkin. I like it because it looks futuristic and reminds me of the Sagrada familia somehow, I'm going to develop it on the side as a muse project but I've already convinced a couple of people in Brighton that the BBC have reported on it lol

Err.. don't Know what the bootstrap thing was but I've got rid and it still aint finding it ??
