Welcome Welcome Good start but need to see more detail before we can Crit your model. You look like you have a good shape going. Look forward to seeing it develop.

I will deffinatly try a Deuchars, and the Jeckyll and Byde pub looks great... writing it down so I don't forget it. Thanks guys. At 12:15 swedish time we're off.

It seems that a laptop is what you are needing for school, the only advice I have for you is make sure you get one with a dedicated video card and NOT an integrated one. There are many options available but your price bracket is from about $1200 to $$$$ I am not a Dell fan but must say the XPS range is proving to be a great product for 3D work, they have a few configurations available that are dual core / core Duo with speeds from 1.83 ghz to 2.6 ghz, with up to 4 Gb ram and Nvidia 8000 series dedicated cards, generally a good combination for the uses you require.

Yey! After a quick look at page 22 and 17 I managed to scale and get my material quite the way I wanted. Thank you so much Fredrik for the guide. It's getting printed first thing tomorrow morning at school //Henrik [image: OGZi_studio_master7.jpg] [image: 5mE0_studio_master6.jpg]

Any time

Gaius we look at SCF as our sister forum or as we fondly call it Forum Next Door

If your goal is to design, not just to practice with SketchUp, don't simply take an existing plan, make a few changes, and call it good. Instead, think about the qualities that make for a great house, and incorporate those qualities in your design. Christopher Alexander and his colleagues thought about the qualities of great design, and in 1977 they published their thoughts in "A Pattern Language." The book is widely available, but it is a little pricey. Even if money is a problem for you, though, you are in luck: Alexander has a web site. http://www.patternlanguage.com/leveltwo/patterns.htm You might not agree with some of the conclusions, but I guarantee it will get you thinking. Also, it would be good to study the works of past masters. (Learn, don't worship.) You could start with Frank Lloyd Wright. Both his work and his biography are amazing - so much so that I sometimes wonder if he made a deal with the Devil to become the best architect ever. You can find a lot about him on the web, and I would be surprised if there weren't books about him at a library near you. If you do become an architect, I wish you great clients with great commissions and the talent to do them justice.
