David, I'm happy to hear you got your problem sorted out. I imagine it would have taken a lot of folks a lot of guesses before hitting on that one. Hopefully it never happens again.

sdmitch, just want to say thanks. Today was the first day I had a chance to use this, nice and simple and works perfect.

BTW, in LayOut 2016 we introduced the option to choose JPG compression for images in PDF export from LayOut.

Thanks,
Marc

I'm with you!!

Looking forward to the results - really curious how it works.

Hi there,
Just got back to this today.
The code worked really well thanks Tig.
Attached is the sketchup file I used to create the trees from LIDAR
Its a bit fiddly but the result could be useful.
More could be done to change the nature of the component to get a feel for different tree types.
Use the layers to turn off the constructino points to see what the trees look like. Note I havent done all the trees.
I added very basic lines as trunks and this helps visualise the tree a bit better.
Remember these are New Zealand trees so they might look different to yours.
Cheers.

Read this sticky on the top of this forum about hoqw to run both on the same machine (that's how I could test it, too - interestingly, I have just deleted the desktop icon of SU 7.0 today so I had to dig for it in my Program files folder.)
