If it would help, you could buy my "brown" and "corrugated" styles.

Actually, I know what you mean. I'm not making any money doing SketchUp so it is hard for me to justify paying for a subscription sort of thing such as FF.

Not a very good name but here's what I used on the china cabinet I posted earlier. The images posted have had a little post work done in Picasa. Nothing fancy but it works for what I want.

Any idea how to convert either EPS or SVG to something useful in SU?

I'm far from knowledgeable about this stuff but does this help you at all? It is a plugin to call the windows calculator. The calculator can be minimized so you can return to SU. Just a stab in the dark.

Here's the script:

*require 'sketchup.rb'

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Add item "calculator" to the Draw menu.

First check for existing menu load

if( not file_loaded?("calc.rb") )

UI.menu("Plugins").add_item("Calculator") { UI.openURL("calc.exe") }

end

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

file_loaded("calc.rb")*

Hi John, I expect the the problem you are experiencing is a bottleneck at the video card. You might try updating the drivers for the card but I imagine you need to increase the card's RAM. Think of it this way, your CPU can send data faster than your video card can regurgitate it to the screen. Your video card needs a bigger stomach and...well...you get the idea.

Would a four holer work?

I just modified that model from the warehouse. I deleted the textures and background, too. The face orientation is all screwed up but I didn't spend any time fixing that. I should have modified the rowers but I didn't.
