Wood grain materials are somewhat problematic in that most of the images you can find are too short. If there's any grain pattern at all, it will repeat and will not look realistic. It looks strange to have a cathedral grain pattern repeat all the way down the length of a table top. For larger surfaces the repeating pattern also gives a flitch-matched appearance which is alright if you like that sort of plywood.
Thank you. Good info.

Actually, they are still on the Net here.
The reason that the files are so large is that they are a quite ludicrous 720px per inch. By reducing the first one...Katabena...to the more usual 72px per inch and resampling to a respectable 512 pixels high, I got its size down from 6.8MB to a mere 68Kb. Here it is.
They're not seamless BTW.
I didn't post any at the real size. Too large. I will take your advice and work on them. Not seemless but Spiral Graphics "Wood Workshop" S/W will help.
Files are large and really nice. Got them from a wood science site long ago.
If anyone is interested, let me know how to get it to you.
Can post one or email.

Just found this on Anderson Window site. Sketchup plugin design any window and it creates a component.
The detail of the window component is amazing.
Can't believe I never heard of it.

Thank you for the info.
Can anyone tell me why only about 1/4 of my Plugins show up in my "Preference" list?
They are working, installed properly, show up in drop down and/or tools.
I want to shut some down they aren't there.

this is actually not a tutorial but a journal of my experience with a new (your) software from a designers point of view.
i will send you the file so you can check it out and advise on what's going on. i will try one more time from scratch since i'm not too far in anyways.
biting my tongue over your last statement.
I bit my tongue at the same time. WTHF what's up with that staement.
This thread is GREAT!!!
[quote="Jim Smith"]In general, the toolbars are a great way to use the plug-ins quickly. I have most of the tool bars listed in that site, downloaded from this forum. As I remember, the power bar was pulled because there are several plug-in authors to those tools and proper permission was not granted to assemble them. "
Thanks for the reply.
I was concerned that they were packing in some Plugins from the hardwork of people on this site.
Found this British site with great Tool Bars loaded with free plugins & icons.
Wondering what you think of it befor i download.
SCF Power Toolbar
Best Free 2D Cad download EVER! Tried them all! This is the best. Brings in SKP also.
Tried some trial and they had more problems with my Autocad files.
I was willing to buy after using Autocad Lite but no upgrade price for my version 1000 bucks NO way.
Best! 5 *****; Took awhile to get used to but greatfor cutting through odd shapes.
Used to cut 3D corrugated roof panel and add shapes for connections. I don't know how long this what have taken w/o this.
Thanks!!
