Neat! At some point there was a similar effort: http://www.cadnomics.com/3D.htm
Please keep the news of its further development coming!

yes, less stressful because designing sheep barns means less demands and eventually fewer complaints from the users

Oh Pilou, Mind/Concept-mapping software and presentations are great!

Following up on what was said above regarding printing to scale, to turn off Perspective, under the Camera Menu, select instead Parallel Projection. In effect, perspective views do not have a reference to a scale; orthographic and oblique projections do.

Hope this helps.

Please consider Air, http://www.sitexgraphics.com/ , but also this rather comprehensive listing of Rendering tools and engines http://www.pointzero.nl/renderers/

Hi Edson
sorry for barging in... the answer is, from the Styles Control window, select the Edit tab and choose the Edges button (first on the left). At the very bottom of the control window, where it says 'Color', open the pulldown and choose to display the edges "By material" (the default is "All same"). Update or create this as a new style. Now, you can change just the colors of the edges using the Materials editor, paint-dropping a material on the desired edge... Faces can indeed have a different material (color or texture) from edges. Hope this helps.

Can I modify perspective angle in sketchup?

If by this you mean re-setting the "Field of View", yes, you can. Upon running the Zoom command, the VCB displays the current angle; change it to whatever you want/need.

so i guess they will be releasing a mac version eventually but it's going to be a different engine than the version they have now..

That's right. 2.0 will be using another engine. Is it good? Yes, it is. In fact, it's very good. Stay tuned.

"I'm tuned..." on a Mac (AWA a PC @ work).

Any news, pleeeease?

"There is a nifty little program that helped us out in getting rid of the tag but a headache all the same"

Hi,
slightly off-topic but picking up on the above post...

From within AutoCAD, it is possible to get rid of the student's watermark, there's no need for other software: save the student-produced DWG-file as a DXF, close and re-open it (AutoCAD does not 'Export' as DXF, it's an option in "Save as...").

ASFAIK, this has worked over the years. I believe that Autodesk has not 'implemented' the means to store the watermark within the DXF file-format, for the time-being-or-until-they-read-this-post
