Hi all,

First, SketchUp 7 is smart for intersecting overlapping lines.

Second, Shortcuts come from version 6, when you install plugins.

Let's continue exploring

Thank you very much

Hi all,

Problems and artifacts, especially on selecting, with Nvidia cards 8800 GT, solved with latest drivers:

GeForce Release 178 WHQL
Version: 178.24
Release Date: October 15, 2008

Tested in Win XP 32 and Win XP 64 , both SU6 and SU5, works fine.

Regards

George

Have a look for Simuterra at

(www.compuneering.com)

I am afraid that is a driver problem for Nvidia G92 chipset cards (8800GT and 8800GTS). I have similar problems with my new 8800GT. Hope new Geforce beta 175.16 will solve that. My previews 7950GT worked without problems.

Sketchup exporter to Indigo from Whaat does a great job with instancing.

Below is an example made by Kwistenbiebel at Indigo SketchUp Forum

Another script you can use is grow.rb from TIG http://www.crai.archi.fr/RubyLibraryDepot/Ruby/EM/Grow.rb

Also there is a nice tutorial from Jean Lemire about this matter in the old Sketchup Forum

64-bit Windows by default can access up to 128 Gb Ram.

I have 8Gb Ram on my system running XP-64 and bios and windows regognise all.

Laptops are another story.

Win XP 32 can acccess from 2.7 Gb to 3.5 under some conditions and /3gb in boot.ini.

4Gb in 32 bit is more complicated.

For example, on Asus Motherboards (P965 or P35 Chipset) you have to disable memory remap feature on NorthBridge.

But most 32-bit software have access only to 2 Gb memory max.

IMHO it is better in this case to use Windows (XP or Vista) 64 bit.

Thank you TIG

I found these very nice renderings for Paul Russam΄s Church super model from Whaat at Indigo΄s Forum for SketchUp.

You can try an evaluation version

After Rhino 4 released, I have changed my workflow from AutoCad-SU to AutoCad-Rhino4-SU. Works fine for me in highway engineering details.

It is possible to attach a portion of your survey?

Import your contours from AutoCad, select them and use SandBox, Create from Contours command.

Thank you Coen for your great work. Everything is over my expectations.

There is a ruby script desel.rb at http://www.crai.archi.fr/RubyLibraryDepot/Ruby/em_sel_page.htm
thanks to TBD

Thank you very much for your comments.

Here is an image of the main stair rendered in Kerkythea 2007 and of course modelled with SU5 pro.

Hi All,

This is an unfinished clay model of Villa Mairea (Alvar Aalto) I started ten months ago in my free time (very limited).
Plans, sections and elevations found in various sources (Books-Web). Modelled in SU5 Pro and rendered with Kerkythea 2007.

There is a lot of work to do, but I hope someday to finish it.

Regards,

George
