@majid Thanks so much Majid, I think that will work. What search term did you use?

Hi could anybody point me to a square piped cushion I have looked everywhere to no avail. I have attached a pic of the type of cushion I need.

Very nice work jo-ke It shows some of Twinmotions limitations though, being grass placement and no UV mapping randomiser

You certainly see the romance of machines, and I get it

@Bryan-K said in Sketchup 2012 crashes on startup:

My honest suggestion would be to update SU.

2017 Make is still available. (I think) You may have to search around for it.

I agree with Bryan, a no brainer https://download.cnet.com/sketchup-make-2017/3000-6677_4-10257337.html

@L-i-am

The dogs danglies mate, your photography skills are coming on in leaps and bounds.

Thanks Mike, I believe you have a good computer now with a very good GPU. Have you considered Twinmotion?

Have done a bit more work. This is the final

I love the dwelling with the skeletal structure above the water

Hi, I just finished a house from 3D warehouse and made some changes and rendered in twinmotion. The flora is that of the Australian Hinterland.

Thank you Tig and Dave I will reistall.

I will give that suggestion a go Tig thank you. Thing is tough, it was a year ago that I installed SU

I just opened an SKP file and every time I press my mouse wheel button the default tray appears. Prior to that the now deleted tray #2 would appear. the other thing that was strange, was all my UI setup had returned to default UI and I had to load all my normal tools , Any Ideas guys? My immediate work around was to move my tray to my second screen of course

You have a workshop, on a boat, in subtropical Australia, designing and crafting lead lights I HATE YOU

@Mike-Amos Hi Mike I thought not telling you this, but then I thought I should. If a turntable is used in the vertical form it would not work with a floating tone arm. It would need to use linear tracking tone arm, I have posted one on this reply. You can google "Vertical linear tracking turntable" you will see what I mean. I am very much a sound reproduction guy, I hate being thought to in the audiophile collective which at worst are neurotic meatheads very prone and susceptible the the placebo effect. Sorry for that bit, but I could not help it

@Rich-O-Brien said in new use for an old building:

Some plateau at a level and other keep pushing. Every push places you into a smaller and smaller bracket.

Exactly Rich, in prior conversations we have both agreed that the last 10% of learning to becoming very good at this game takes as long as the first 90%of learning rendering. I could not agree more. If you have not seen the movie "whiplash" (where the young, talented, drummer's fingers bleed from his dedication) please do yourself a favour But I digress, it is hard work, I do not get why you think it is a Science not an Art though. I am kind of curious why you think that.

Nice work Mike, that keyboard is only for people like us with tons of enthusiasm, and buckets patience

@Rich-O-Brien said in new use for an old building:

Plus if your not making mistakes or errors there's no room to improve.

Agreed, Rich it is my goal to become very good at rendering it is a long road and am chipping away at being bad at it. Constructive criticism is gold, free and appreciated.
I went back to my old posts and I have posted my first renders are a couple of weeks apart in late 2017. I almost threw up and I think my teacher would say my learning curve was "slow but sure)(slow to learn and sure to forget)

Cheers Mark, Bryan and Mike . Rich, your eye is phenomenal, The building was 1 third bigger than it should be. So I just scaled up the assets intuitively.......but the car was 10% too big and the people about 7% too big, so you were correct. I just spent 2 hours redoing the render with a calculator Will post the result as I made some other changes, just for a change

I built a model in SU about a year ago. It is an old coach house in very outback Australia. I decided to put it in a big city context. I rendered it in Twinmotion.
