I see ur point Mr. Edson .And as i said before u did a great design there . Cheers! Elisei

Problem is: there's no access to dimensions via the SU API.

Sorry Edson, can't help you there. I could use a good source for free 3D people, too.

@unknownuser said: wow so beautifull... can you give me trees models and grass texture? tnx! thanks, GdB. unfortunately, i cannot give those away as they are components sold at solo's place. some come from the 3D Garden pack, others from tomsdesk's pack. they are excellent components at a terrific price.

This is a great thread! More, more...

Hear, hear!

@mitcorb said: Edson: Does this method produce the same result where I see in some posts "viewtopic..."? this method allows you to make any word into a link, without really showing what can be a very large URL. what you mention is the result of a simple copy/paste operation.

@chris fullmer said: I new copy tool could be coded and then assigned a shortcut. But thats not quite what you were looking for, Chris i would not mind that as long as the copying got done.

@jim said: Any volunteers? I could name one

Ah, I see. It's the upload file format. Anyway, I don't know why they don't allow it since what they do is that they convert anything you upload to swf and display it that way. Well, I'll have a look what I have at home.

Good news. I've had very good luck with it. I hope you do as well. Dave

@edson said: i just stumbled across LightZone a new, easy to learn and cheap image processing app. watching the videos left me quite impressed. there versions for windows mac and linux. Lightzone has been around for a while. It's a fairly innovating tool and also supports most RAW file format's. chris

@solo said: Never seen this either, must be a video card issue. There is no way to upgrade you GPU on a Mac? I cannot confirm this as I always assumed Mac's updates included current firmware and drivers. what i meant is that the user cannot download a driver and update his card. the updates are probably included on each system upgrade.

I can tell you that turning off NightSky will turn off the sky in SketchUp, rather than restore the setting prior to using NightSky. I will look into changing that. As for the dialog box problem, all I can think of is that there must be a security issue with your browser settings, because the html is about as basic as it gets.

iWeb/Mobile Me has a free trail.

i thought my membership in the beta team had expired when they released SU7. am i still a member? is the beta forum still on? wow! i will report the problem wherever i can. i have no firewall on. have a look below. [image: xzsn_Picture22.png]

roger, we are in total agreement. given the time i will also strive for perfection down to the last blade of grass...

perfect solution, jakob. thanks a lot.

Edson, thank you for the quick answer! I'm having the same dilemma as you. I'm looking for renderer that can produce nice renders, quick and fast. Luckily, now i have little time around Xmas to learn more about KT which is the most impressive (and free!) rendering engine i met so far. I'm pretty sure I will never master KT as the the guys over there in the KT Forums http://www.kerkythea.net/joomla/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=28&Itemid=70 but i hope to "develop" a "method" or a set of tools with I can create nice renders with just a few clicks, like you do with Podium. At least this is my goal for the next few days/weeks So thanks again, I will check back here from time to time to see nice projects from you and others! Merry Xmas! A.

anssi, you nailed it!!! the templates are located in user/library/app support/sketchup 7/sketchup/templates. i was looking for them in the program folder. thanks! one problem solved. now i am left with the problem of how to get the same toolbars to open whenever i start SU7 up. regards.
