Practicing Landscape Architecture. For lack of suitable shrub and perennial components out there, I wish to create my own library of 2-D plant components of plant materials that will prosper in my climate zone (Indiana - zone 5).

Turning a photo into a 2_D 'face you' component is no problem, just don't know how to set myself up so that the I can control the point of axis on which the 2_D component rotates. Guessing this info has been discussed before, but not sure how to search for it. Any thoughts on the matter will be appreciated.

Hoping there's a method (or ruby) for applying a skin surface to this kayak frame that does not involve the HOURS it would take to create the zillions of faces. Any ideas?

Thanks,
Todd

You kidding me? Had to put up my one and only (third-hand) C40 as collateral for my shed! Just keep hoping carbon fiber and Campagnolo lasts forever. Being married, I end up putting more miles on the Trek tandem than on the solo. But it's all fun.

Try Mac HD/Library/Applications support/Google Sketchup 6/Sketchup/Components.

Thanks gang, just didn't want to go and screw up something so simple.

Need I uninstall my free version SU6 before downloading the SU6 Pro version?

Thanks, Todd

Considering the change from Tiger OS to Leopard. Curious to know if anyone has encountered any problems relative to their SU6 performance with Leopard OS?

Todd

Anssi,

Finally got around to finding the Preference>OpenGL dialog (by accident, DUH!) and disengaged the 'Use fast feedback' option. That did the trick for me. Thank you for your help.

I'm on a Mac, so not sure I can manipulate things in the same fashion as w/ Windows. Seems to me this would be more of an SU app problem for me rather than hardware/driver. This scenario occurs with no other app than SU, and effects only my connection with the model, nothing else on the screen. Just didn't know if others have encountered this, if there is something I am doing wrong, and/or if there was an easy fix.

Have a couple hours into a model. Go to close it, and SU drops a bubble letting me know there is an error in my model, and do I want SU to fix it. I select yes, fix it. It closes. When I go to open it back up later, there is no action I can take that does not paint a path of colored inference points in any direction I take my arrow. Shut down all the layers I could. Even closed and reopened a few times, with no difference. Any help or tips on cleaning this up?

Working in SU 6 on a Macbook w/ 2G RAM.

Any advice will be greatly appreciated.
