What can I do to make this more precise so it wont place anything outside the selected face??

Since you made this in Sketchup I have to give huge props for the work you did. Smooth shapes and details. Exterior design itself is...well, not pretty in my opinion.

Amazing work. What's the render plugin you used? V-ray?

I'm trying to set light to my model but when I start rendering, that area I selected for light is just black. No light at all, it's even more darker than normal. I made new white material for light and double-clicked material and Indigo window shows up, then I select light from the Assign Preset. That's pretty much all I did. What went wrong?

I'm working on now quite of highly detailed model (City block) and my PC won't run it smoothly, so I would like to know some solutions to make it run better, like hiding objects and when I finish*, unhide them. Ofcourse there is that layer function but I don't know how it works, anyone could tell me step-by-step how it works?

***** I'm planning to make City block first into many parts and after everything is done, I put them all together.

Thanks!

Well what about this one then?

Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo T8100

Memory: 4GB 667MHz DDR (2x2Gb)

Graphic Card: nVidia GeForce Go 8600M (512 MB)

Those Sony VAIO's are pretty expensive and I don't know any lap top with un-integrated GPU.

Only one peice of advice:

Do not get an integrated video card ... trust me!

Umm...why not? Aren't all Lap Top Graphic Cards integrated?

So...I'm planning to buy Lap Top for my work and it ofcourse it will have to run Sketchup well enough. And this is what I might get:

**HP Pavilion dv9751**
* Processor: AMD Athlon 64x2 TK-57
* Graphic Card: Nvidia GF7150 (integrated)
* Memory: 2GB 667MHz DDR (2 x 1GB)
* Operating system: Windows Vista Home Premium

or

Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo T8100

Memory: 4GB 667MHz DDR (2x2Gb)

Graphic Card: nVidia GeForce Go 8600M (512 MB)

Could anyone tell me, will it run well enough?
And please answer soon as possible, thanks!

I'm having problems with skindigo!
Everytime i run sketchup, a window shows up asking for me to locate a .exe file. When i locate the indigo.exe on my indigo directory, an error message pops up:
"Error Loading File SkIndigo_1_0_9.rb
cannot convert nil into String"
I followed the installation instuctions correctly, and i downloaded skindigo v.1_0_9 and indigo_v0.9.10. What's going on? Any help?
The plugins menu in sketchup doesn't even show up...

PS: My sketchup version is google sketchup and it's not pro...and i use windows vista.

EDIT: Never mind, works now! Just extract stable version and locate .exe in Sketchup.
