I am having difficulty determining whether there is glass in this window scene? If it is intended in a later version?

Nice render, I had two of my grandfathers straight razors, nicked by removers.
The house that my dad bought, one of the previous owners left one behind. Not to sound like a wimp........but I handled it VERY gently. Quite literally, it was "razor sharp". I didn't use it. One slip and..............

RE: Antique Night Table
@mike amos said:
Antique items are usually very finely detailed and no disrespect intended, there is nothing fine about that item. Try raising it up with some legs but remember fine details.
You are not too far off the item in the picture.
A little further and you will have a nice result.
Mike Amos :
I nodeled this after a downloaded pic of table legs. I added the shadow so as to get a better look at it. It may not be perfect,but, I guess it's a start.

Importing Table Legs
Sketchucation :
I downloaded a number of pics showing antique style table legs. Is it possible import these scanned pics into Sketchup 8 ? Using these one-dimensional pics and create 3D table legs ? I usually draw a circle, then, on a "upright" rectangle draw the design, then use the circle to create the 3D design. garystan -
Saving Downloaded .rbz Files
Hi everybody :
I was reading Rich O'Brien's tutorial on Installing .rbz files. One thing, though, he doesn't explain WHERE to save the downloaded .rbz files. I've tried a couple of times, downloading and saving Sketchup plugins, and sometimes Sketchup 8 picks it up and sometimes it can't find it. I usually save the file to Google>Sketchup 8> Plugins. And, if I'm correct, I need to close Sketchup 8, then re-open it. Then click Preferences >Extenions > Install Extension. Sometimes, Sketchup 8 will pick it up. garystan -

CopyAlongCurve
Hi everybody :
I downloaded the "CopyAlongCurve" plugin. I saved it in the Plugins folder of Sketchup 8. Then, went into Sketchup 8.....opened System Preferences. Then I selected Extensions, clicked on Install Extenion. Now, I see it in the System Preference>Extensions>CopyAlongCurve. But I don't see it in the drop-down menu under Plugins. I didn't notice if this was compatible with Sketchup 8. garystan -
