it is already set to this..... but maybe you have shown me the answer
is it just the first few posts that get notifications? cos now my posts don't need to be authorised maybe i don't get notifications any more.
cheers

i mean no insult, i am enjoying the forum -
is it just me or is this site very slow between threads?
my browser works fine for most sites but it takes like a minute or so when i click 'new posts' or 'next page' (browser says "waiting for s3.buysellads.com" or something)
this cannot be standard - is there a way to optimise it?

cheers all

ps. do tell me if these are in the wrong place! cheers

hello
am i being blind - how do i stop all these notification emails i am being sent?
sure there must be a setting somewhere.....

cheers

nice to see someone getting pleasure from the modelling, not just the renders. excellent work - your massive input is worth every minute!

shanks for sharing

sometimes (for me - usually) a corner is the best origin point - why do you want it to be in the centre?

if you can't scroll all that way (!) back and forth between monitors...... sounds like you need to use shortcuts!

dual screens is waaaaay better (for me) i do it just the way you mention - one clear screen with just model and everything else in the other. oh and i have a keyboard and mouse on my desk.

yeah thanks that's amazing keep us posted thanks for sharing

gresat renders - i think the entourage thing is true - maybe it is their unnatural positions that give them away. if i were the girls by the car, i'd be leaning on the planter.... the people on the balconies are posers! nobody minding their own business - eating lunch or whatever.

but still, very nice work. i am having rendering difficulties with v-ray - have you used the sketchup sun for these?

i'm interested in how you created the seat surface - not familiar with subdivide and smooth. did you extrude and intersect, followme or something more clever?

What's a locked layer?

you can hide a layer - maybe they mean this? i just group it though.

also i thought there was a plugin somewhere maybe called StrayLines that was a big help for this. MakeFaces is good for dwg imports too.

but why is it so messy?

couldn't you select all the glass (right click in material palette) and hide it, then select the rest and set the material to default?

hello i've been a member for a while but not made any posts..... hoping to learn some good tricks in sketchup and i guess some rendering tips would be useful.
