You only proved that you do not know what you are talking about. Bye bye.

yeah the measuring tool worked just fine, I had to lengthen the posts and raise the roof up, re do the knee braces, but now I have something to show the customer, and something to work up a price with [image: e6l7_1Reduced1.jpg]

@joe wood said: wow Majid you have a graphic's, or artist person's eye, I don't see any of that! ... Thanks for clarification... And yes I do paintings and recently am sharing some simple tutorials of mine: https://www.deviantart.com/yeganegi and on youtube also: https://www.deviantart.com/users/outgoing?https://youtu.be/Qd7VTDsX_N0

Some other pictures from that project. I didn't use much SketchUp and I never took many pictures, but at least it all got built. [image: 2l0T_original4.jpg] [image: UJlL_original5.jpg] [image: giXr_RasmussenTrellis2maxppB.png] [image: zBbE_original3.jpg]

They have the same type boxes in the Aussie parliament, a gift from king George V https://www.smh.com.au/opinion/housewarming-present-thats-now-part-of-the-westminsterial-furniture-20170505-gvz3yc.html I am fascinated by English history [image: ABho_1AussieBox.png]

This has been happening for years so not a big deal, I was just curious. It happened with my last computer too.

Thanks Peeps! I love building these and we have a lot of fun in the process! you can see us building a similar one using the same clear vertical grain western red cedar we use https://photos.google.com/u/0/share/AF1QipPlCFrFQlDbfDfPx6F64V9SxlEN5HaRTqYaIAvWABEyzYmJppqB-v9CcRdHCG2b-w?key=S3JJNU5TZjV1SDlNTjlVbEhncV9mc2s0c0dhRDBB

ah ha, thanks Bep!

Looks like you will do the job proud. Nice.

OK I was able to export eps files which my client can use. I can export this 1st image as a dxf, but the 2nd causes the splat. Would anyone have any ideas why this happens? Please excuse my questions! EDIT- I thought it might be all the text in the 2nd image so I hid it, but still got the dreaded splat! [image: l94K_1dxf.png] [image: 7hAo_2dxf.png]

I'm glad you took it the right way Joe.

This is my preview pane then [image: BBl8_1Untitled.png]

It looks bloomin' marvelous, nicely done Joe.

Virtual to reality! ps @unknownuser said: but I don't have Illustrator. This cool easy free one: online or local Gravit Designer

Yeah, manufacturers tend to have drivers that differ. It is always a good idea to visit the OEM site and find drivers there.

Are these things actually 'hidden', or do they have some 'off' [aka 'hidden'] layer[s] assigned to them ? To see if they are hidden use View > Hidden Geometry > ON... Otherwise, check the layer settings... Check which layers the vanishing objects might have assigned... Obviously, SketchUp should not be deciding to make somethings 'hidden' [in either sense] in an unexpected way... I'm sure we can find the culprit...

Yeah let's hope it doesn't become an issue, I've never seen a preview pane I don't think.

Thanks for taking the time for me Box! Ok I might try some plugins, those two you showed do look interesting.

Definitely use "curves" adjustment. Brightness/ contrast is an older mode and gives you much less control. I would highly recommend Lightroom. It's non-destructive and has a really great set of controls for color adjustments. When you scan - set the bit depth as high as the scanner will let you - that will give your image editing program more information to work with.

Wow! Looking fine! Looks like they had no trouble putting it up either!
