At the 'simple' end of the car spectrum I recommend Richard's http://sketchucation.com/shop/models/319-ultra-low-poly-car-set

You also have some reversed faces going on, you should be aware of them or you'll get problems there too.

Yeah there is no easy way. Though at least you can setup a flip shortcut! flip all the text to the opposite then select each and flip.

It really is as simple as click, click, render. Any help you need just ask here or at twilight forum.

Thank you both - as ever, so very helpful. I spent ages yesterday serching the SU site for a list & didn't find anything! Many thanks.

That is pretty close ! I like it ! Well done !

Gosh!... I'l never get any work done - thinking of starting a PDF CAD trials prog.

Got it now! Thanks so much

Never mind. I also realised this after running the forums for years!

thanks - will do.

Yes, there is a big difference between hiding and softening. In your case (unless you have some very special reason), I would not hide but soften. Hiding will leave those (small, seemingly rectangular but probably triangulated) facets separate and your mesh will remain faceted. These facets can be selected individually even with hidden geometry (View menu) off. If you soften the dividing edges however, the whole surface will be one, continuous and (seemingly) nicely curved surface. Now the whole mesh can be selected as a whole unless you turn on hidden geometry.

I'd like to say its a gift I have... but as I've never written a poem in my life I think it was more due to a lucid moment - & a glass or two of wine! Seriously though, I (& I think a few others, judging by responses) just wanted to say thanks for so much assistance. After working on my own (with just AutoCAD) I started working with SketchUp this year and found SkecthUcation. Its like coming in from the cold! Ok, I'll stop gushing now!

thanks numbthumb -it looks interesting & I'll study it carefully. the odd thing is the pattern implies 3D but the wall will be flat... hmmm

I'm having the same issue actually. Except the issue is evident in SOME of the people, but not all, within a crowd scene. I'll have to look closer at the people who aren't flickering to see if they might pose a clue.

Saw tooth , Yeah that describes it even better.

Oh yes we do, TIG. http://www.formfonts.com/viewModel.php?view=1&id=15191&config=1
