Hi all, Have been using SU for a while now and have noticed my computer is slugish when working in Sketchup. Kinda slow to scroll and zoom (feels like you are zooming thruogh a solid sometimes and things that used to be easy now take effort. Does SU 8 require more grunt? I am using: a hp pavilion 2x2.5 gig, 4MB of RAM, NVIDEA G Force 8600M GS. I have installed the latest driver's for NVIDEA. Any ideas or suggestions?

Cheers

Thank's Fredo!! Great work must have a look at your other plugins, so easy to use, sooo Sketchup!

I am trying to create a helicopter canopy and have attached image. Is there a way to add thickness to it? It was created by being the reminant of a "boolean" of a scaled sphere and other geometry.

Thanks

HI all, designed and built this a few years ago. Didn't even know you could render an SU image then You will need to scroll down on the last image

Hi all, I have been trying for sometime to get sketchup to look a little bit more sophisticated and not so comic, as I often do work in front of clients. I found out how to change the look but it requires that all windows are changed. I don't find this a bad thing. I have attached the style which works for me. Simply copy it to your theme style under appearence in windows control panel and activate it. Er..... I am not allowed to attach the theme so if anyone wants the theme and knows how to allow me to attach it please let me know

Cheers

I have now got this sorted. I was cunfused as it is refferred to as texture. Knowing that though it is quite straightforword and simple.

Cheers

Hi all, I have noticed images and text on curved and organic surfaces. How is this achieved. I asume that drape could be used but this would be time consuming. This would not help with raster images though. Can anyone point me in the right direction :

Cheers

I wonder if anyone out there knows if any community Tv stations out there have access to Sketchup school vids (or any other source) and have a Sketchup show? If not what do you think of the Idea. Basically the sketchup comunity supplying local Community tv stations with a sketcup show. Any thoughts?

Thanks honoluludesktop can you or anyone recommend a render program that that is a good starter package, simplicity in default but has potential to tweak? Thanks again.

Model somthing that is accesable to you, your house, letterbox, a piece of furniture etc model and delete/build until you get it right. Emulating the real world will force you to uncover new aspects of SU you may not otherwise stumble upon.

Hi all my first post. I use sketchup a fair bit mainly for architecture and landscape. I have had a play with podium and irender Nxt (trials and in default) etc but was blown awaywith some of the renderings i have seen here!! I have looked at some tutes and am in severe information overload!!?!? There seems to be so many options and potential blind alley's. Could someone please set me on the right track with thier experiences. It would be such big help Thanks
