RE: Garden design tutorials?
well FLW stuff will be a breeze in sketchup... he loved long straight stacking media... and that is easily accomplished in SU...
what you'll want to do to start yourself off is measure your lot.
perhaps go to your local municipality's website and see about getting a jpg image of your survey or lot lines...
then import that picture into SU... if you don't have the lot layout, then you'll need to take measurements and build the lot yourself... locate trees, with two measurements, one from the closest side, and one from the closets end. locate other misc. things on your lot like sheds and pumps and gardens with the same measuring style locating the distance to the closest lot lines... then add the extra step of measuring the perimeter of the structure or object.
once you've built this lot plan... on a flat 2D surface, then come back and we'll start grouping and building it up...
till then...

RE: Garden design tutorials?
welcome Doc...
as far as use in Garden I don't think we have much... as of yet... But I'll work on something for you... what kind of gardening?
also... go ahead and watch the tuts on a number of uses... they will all help you, and you'll realize how each can best be of use in gardening as you watch...
Tom is our resident Tree Expert... he builds some fantastic relaistic Trees and plants... he can probably help out on how to make natural shapes that would form in nature instead of the hard lines we use in architecture...
I'll send him a note and point this thread out to him...

RE: Closing Groups and Components after edit
yes what gully said, and don't forget to use your layers too... a quick way to turn off areas just so you can work deeper without being in groups and components

RE: Some of my work
Shaun no apologies needed... as I remember you said "have you heard of this program Sketchup?" to which I replied no... and there began my journey here...
I know how long it takes to do something in this field and how much effort it takes, not too mention with out pay... I was flattered that you wanted to practice on our designs and delighted in your honor for asking permission...
I have also been watching you as your have progressed through this and the SUPro forums and the contests at GSU... your work is excellent and your contribution to the community is well worth noting... so in short no apologies needed...
on another note I would like to coordinate with you on some things here... such as a component install and a material install... let me know...

RE: Resolution and presentation
6000 never even made it that high I only got to like 3400... I can't remember the roor but I got it over and over again... I'll rerun the export and recreate and post...
-
RE: Resolution and presentation
the bigger it gets the harder your job...
3000 should be about the limit you can achieve... I get SU failures at renderings above 3000...
really SU is not the prime rendering program... there are others that are free that will load your SU model and render better presentation images...

Irender not free not too expensive
ADT 3D Studio Viz expensive as hell
Revit 2008 out freakingrageously expensive
3D Studio Max out freakingrageously expensivethere are many many others....

RE: Crossing the Intersection...
before you push pull them together....
select each box all of it... and then right click and select make group...
now open each group to edit it... and then the walls will not stick together...
I could go into this further... but go to my tutorial on the TUT section of this website and look for how a pro builds a house in SU

RE: Downloads
php is a webpage or html type format. a script actually
I would like you to a folder with skp files, do you see SKP logos? or blank icons?
oh are you on a mac? if so I won't be able to help with "file type associations"

RE: Downloads
jmac,
you need to report the thread where you could not download... and by any chance are you right clicking and selecting save target as?

RE: Downloads
that's why there is no Mac and PC rooms... and you'll be happy to hear no one has suggested it...
