Bonjour.
Clique de façon séquentielle sur les onglets de scènes du fichier SketchUp (SU) suivant pour quelques idées.

Noter que j'ai utilisé seulement les outils de base de SU, sans plugin. Je préconise l'apprentissage des outils de base avant de plonger dans l'univers des plugins. Il faut apprendre à marcher avant d'apprendre à courir 
Pilou, le fichier est en V6.

Hi Babolding, hi folks.
There are edges in some arcs that are very small, around 1/16 inch. SU has problem handling such small edges and most importantly, creating faces when one or more of their edges are smaller than about 1/16 inch.
Try scaling by a factor of 10 or 100 before doing the subtraction, then scale down accordingly when done. Faces will stay closed when scaled down even if their edges are reduced below the lower limit. It is only on their ceation that problems arise.

Bonjour.
Est-ce que Menu Caméra --> Projection parallèleet Menu Caméra --> Vues standard --> Vue de derrière peuvent te donner le rendu que tu demande ?

Hi Pilou, hi folks.
It is only at works that many things are blocked or restricted.

Hi Adorno, hi folks.
You can use a sky picture as a Watermark (read about Watermarks in the help) and then use a ground texture (grass or whatever) on a large face acting as the ground plane.

Hi Dave, hi folks.
Sorry, I could not see the video because of all the blocking software the company is using to stop people from seing videos, hearing music, etc.
I only saw a large white rectangle.
Hi folks.
On my PC using XP-Pro, the list max out at 8 items.
I don't think that the max number of items can be modified as in Office where it can be adjusted from 0 to 50 (Office 2007 on my computer).
Just ideas.
Hi Jim, hi folks.
I forgot to write in my previous post that edges are more robust than guide lines (finite lenght or infinite length and guide points. They do dont vanish when one choose to delete all guides.
Also, guides or edges they can be put on a layer whose visibility can be controled and thus can be hidden to avoid to much clutter.
Just ideas.
Hi Jasemilly, hi folks.
A rectangle is a 2D figure and cannot have slanted ends. A trapeze looks like a rectangle with two slanted sides.
I assume that you mean a rectangular block.
If so, see this SU file for ideas.
Hi Jim, hi folks.
Why not use ordinary edges that could be colored or textured or even made as dashed lines. This last operation can be done natively but it may prove a waste of time. There are plugins to create dashed lines.

Bonjour.
J'ai posé la question aux experts en programmation Web.
Voici la réponse de Gaieus:
*Practically/technically it would be feasible but is it really needed?
The other thing is that once there is a post in the subforum of a subforum, the top level subforum will not display if there is a new post but the very top level main forum will (I think). It would be quite tedious to navigate among those sub/subforums.*
Traduit au meilleur de mes connaissances, ça donne:
*Du point de vue pratique et technique, c'est possible mais est-ce réellement nécessaire ?
Une autre chose est que s'il y a un post dans un sous forum d'un sous forum, le sous forum de niveau supérieur ne serait pas affiché mais le forum principal du premier niveau le serait (je pense). Ça serait très pénible de naviguer dans ces sous forums.*
En bref, je comprends que les forums comme le nôtre (forum Français) sont des sous forums et que l'ajout de sous sous forums pourrait être compliqué. Je vais attendre quelques jours pour vérifier si j'aurai d'autres réponses des experts en programmation de site Web ou de forum, ce que je ne suis pas malheureusement.
En attendant, il y aurait peut être la possibilité de faire précéder le sujet d'un post d'un titre plus évocateur. Par exemple un titre pourrait être "Didacticiel - Comment créer un dodécagone" ou "Trucs et astuces - Comment importer une image sur un plan vertical". Cependant, je doute que les usagers se plieraient tous et toutes à cette règle, surtout ceux et celles qui en sont à leurs premières visites.
À suivre.

Bonjour.
Effectivement ça serait utile vu le nombre de messages.
Je vais en parler avec ceux qui gèrent la structure du site et donc des forums.
Je vous reviens la-dessus.

Hi folks.
When I teach SU to newbies that are also newbies at 3D drawing or sketching, I start in teaching them what is a 3D rendering explaining what vanishing points are, asking them to observe their surrounding and how perspective plays a role in what they see.
I then sketch a very simple house to show them how to navigate a model with the Orbit, Panand Zoomtools. While doing that, I tell them to see drawing with SU as sculpting an object in real life. Unless its a statue of gigantic proportion, most sculptors will manipulate an object by adding a detail here, pivoting the object to add another detail there, etc. I even though about using a miniature house to explain the concept of going around a model and modeling from just about any angle and position, even from below or inside the model. This analogy is also usefull for people that are used to CAD softwares that offer a more rigid interface like 3 snadard views and an isometric one in 4 panes on the screen.
Once they comprehend that, they are not confused when they draw a rectangle in an iso view and see that even if it looks like a parallelogram it is indeed a rectangle seen at an angle.
The next thing I do is to show them how to dimiss the large tool set and to enable all the other tool palette so they have all the tools at their disposal. I also show them how to uncheck the Enable length snappingin the Units so they do not get unwanted inferences.
I also push them to place the cursor on every icon to read the associated pop-up showing a tool name, for example. I show them some the menus and submenus and contextual menus and telle them to explore all of these on their own to discover SU.
But the very first thing I show them is the Help Menu and its second choice, the Help Center. Judging from many of the questions asked here and on other forums dedicated to SU, this is the most underused of the menus.

Hi Bob, hi folks.
To create a screen shot:
On a PC:
1 - Press the Print Screen button on the keyboard.
2 - Open the Paint program (an acessory that comes with Windows).
3 - Paste (CTRL-V).
4 - Save as jpgfile.
5 - Attach to a post here.
On a Mac, there is a free application that comes with the OS that is called Grab.
Once the picture is grabbed, it is automatically saved to your hard disk, ready to be uploaded as an attachment to a post here.
Just ideas.

Voir le fichier suivants pour quelques idées supplémentaires.
Hi Pilou, hi folks.
No I cannot have Catia always open since that would mean monopolizing a licence. That's a thing that my colleagues would not appreciate.
BTW, I had a basic course about using Catia. I never practiced for the following reasons:
1 - Catia is overkill for most of my needs.
2 - It is slow to start.
3 - Licences are not always available.
4 - Its tree structure and it philosophy of use implies that you must already know all the details of the object you are about to model.
OK, I was spoiled by SketchUp and, anyway, I have a team of technicians that are much better than me with Catia. So, I leave them to use it while I quickly create sketches of my ideas.
Why I was spoiled by SketchUp:
1 - Its is efficient.
2 - Its is quick to start even with plugins. It took SU 5 seconds or less to start as new and now it takes about 15 seconds to start after I added a few plugins.
3 - It has a simple interface without too many tools. Well ... with too many plugins, I may end up with even more tool icons than Catia. I am not there yet.
4 - Its inference engine is quick and powerfull.
5 - It has a good palette of tools that covers about all I need. The missing ones can be obtained with plugins.
6 - Its rendering modes are more than enough for me to add the realistic touch that I need.
7 - Models are easy to modify.
8 - It perfectly fits my workflow where I start with a general idea with rough components and then add details here and there to finally obtain a complete detailed model.
9 - Its fun to use.
10 - It doen't interposed too much between my ideas and the final result.
11 - The Pro version is not to much expensive.
12 - There is a good help available.
13 - There are many ressources to find help like SketchUcation and other forums.
14 - The 3D Warehouse even if some models are not very well made.
Just ideas.
Hi folks.
The report generator (File menu --> generate Report) of SketchUp Pro is not very flexible.
In supplement to the problem already mentionned, it cannot cope with a decimal separator set to use the coma instead of the dot and the semicolon as a list separator instead of the comma. With such a setup, It put all data that are on the same row into only one cell while it should be in 14 cells across each row.
I had to revert to using dot as the decimal separator for this reason and also for two more:
1 - The dot on the numerical keypad don't generate a comma. When inputting a lot of numbers, it is improductive to have to switch to the main keyboard to get a comma. The funny part is that it works OK on the Mac version of SU. It also works OK with Excel both on PC and Mac. why not with SU on PC ? Go figure.
2 - It is impossible to input an absolute set of coordinates when moving an object. Typing [100;200;300] produces only ] in the Measurement Box.
Just ideas.
