      Hi, thanks for the feedback fellas. And cheers for that model solo. Looks good. I'll attempt to learn the technique but have no idea what
      'sub-divide' and 'FFD' are.
      Another model i'd like to have a go at is this parasol. I started by using this funnel shape:

      Error 404 (Not Found)!!1

      favicon

      (sketchup.google.com)

      and then doctoring to suit, don't know how to go about it though.

      Any help appreciated.
      Thanks

      Hiya and thanks for the help. The attached images show the 'sofa' bench i've been modelling. I am having some difficulty though adding a new face to the end and front of the bench. I've tried the pencil tool but it doesn't always work and i can't figure out why is does add a face sometimes.
      After i've done that I'd also like to see the ends of the bench bulge out a little (you may be able to see what i mean from the previous image - the sofa photo). Any tips greatly appreciated.

      Thanks

      hi folks, not totally following...her's a pic of the scene. Those small circles on the ground are lighting so will be dead level with the surrounding material. Also they will become square lights so i will be drawing a new object to be placed on the stone material.
      So how do i colour them idependently? i tried grouping but didn't seem to work..
      while i'm on i have another ask...those square shapes on the stone surface are benches which resemble sofas as in the pic. Now, i need to model these, but as this is my first sketch up model i'm struggling. I think i have to use the follow-me tool..?
      thanks

    • In work, need help..

      Hi everyone, I'm a newborn to SU and have been asked to construct a model for my job...I suppose I could spend time reading/playing around but the job needs doing and the boss has 'time is money' tatooed on his head. So I'd appreciate a bit of help with a real simple question:
      Why is it that when I make a new surface, paint it and then drag it to where i want it, the surface takes on the properties of the place where i move it to? How to correct this please...
      I'm sure i'll uncover more basics that i'll need correcting..
      Thanks
