Hi guys. I have another question regarding radial bend. As you can see from the image all of the lines denoting brickwork haven't bended as I was expecting. I'm not sure why. Is it a parameter problem or maybe something to do with the model? Its probably something really easy I'm missing

Ok thanks Fredo. That's good to know

Hey guys. I've recently discovered radial bend and its just brilliant. Its really helping me with some illustrations I'm doing. I was wondering if there's a way for the materials to bend as well as the model. So far the materials either stay the same or go a bit skew-whiff, they don't bend in the same directions as the face they're on. Any way of doing this?

For Mac

Download GraphicConverter: http://www.lemkesoft.de/en/products/graphicconverter/download/
Select: Download now (from Switch.ch)

Once you open the Free version of GraphicConverter, File/Open and find the folder, where you have placed all your Sketchup files. Under EDIT / Select All

Now at the bottom click on (Create Preview) This will change all the Sketchup logo(s) into it's graphic thumbnail.

Note: It will not launch the graphic icon, unless you are in Sketchup.

Open Sketchup and (Open File). You should see the Thumbnails, and these icons will launch.

Steve, I could kiss you! I've been wanting to be able to see thumbnails of my SU files since I got my mac 4 years ago. Thank you so much for this tip!

This is really great. Can't wait to see the final model

Wow, what an amazing model!! Just fantastic.

Makes me mad how these lovely old buildings are left to decay and then knocked down for an estate of bland houses as is usually the case. At least your model is an everlasting record of how it used to look

I love the final photoshop image. Very atmospheric and does indeed look like a painting.

Hmm.. I shouldn't have got so happy so soon. Whilst using Thom's desktop shortcut does enable me to view SU thumbnails, I'm finding Explorer constantly crashes. I was trying to sort out all my components into new folders but had to give up because it would crash every time I tried to do anything. Is there a fix for this?

Thanks for bumping this guys. I saw Thom's suggestion of creating a shortcut to explorer on the desktop and it works a treat. Finally I have preview thumbnails of all my SU models and components. Hurrah!

Absolutely amazing! If it wasn't for the clay models I would swear it they were photos. Amazing work!

What was the reason for modelling this street? Is it an existing street or is it all made up?
