@L-i-am Yes mate. They look pretty sharp and good test pieces.

@L-i-am nice images. I would like to see the first horizontal seams on either side at the same height.

Thanks Rich, Box, I would not know how to use ruby script I gor around it easily by getting one face correct by scaling in SU, I when copied the good face and then rotating it 90 deg and replacing that "Wrong" face with the one I copped then every thing worked as it should

@L-i-am if you wanted to make it look less photographic you could use the rendered image as a basis for a hand-shaded sort of look. Combine it with a hidden line export from SketchUp Maybe use a sketchy line style or the straight line styles. Maybe enable extensions for some of the lines This is just a quickie shaded thing. I'm not sure it's totally right but a start. [image: 1734360304830-screenshot-2024-12-16_fotosketcher.jpg]

@L-i-am Supercalafrajalistic etc.

Love it!

@Rich-O-Brien nothing to add, the scene looks very real...

@L-i-am A lot of those in mid sixties to mid seventies buildings in London have those, South bank exhibition building a standout for concrete and glass.

Wow. Excellent work!

Both are great, but the second one is better. Top notch work!

@L-i-am Sue-perlative.

Wow! Top notch! I would swear that's a photo.

I think what you want is like a variable pitch helix. The curve of the helix begins from a horizontal plane then begins the helix and at the top the pitch transitions to another horizontal plane. In Sketchup you'd have to mess with the line segments. I tried finding something in Blender and haven't found anything. I'm still a novice with that. It looks like Solidworks and Rhino can do something like that.

Thanks guys, I was looking at Armorpaint, but am downloading QMS. So down the rabbit hole I go

@L-i-am Very 'Zen'.

@Mike-Amos agreed Mike, I get very confused in the render end phase

Stunning. Just stunning. Perfection.

@Mike-Amos Agree!

@L-i-am Cracking renders.
