@pixelcruncher Yeap it makes sense if is in front of its name. Much better if could be undocked , floating and enlarged.

You are right.

I spent some time finalizing and publishing a new short Skillshare course. This is after grand masters; James Fletcher-Watson and Edward Seago. I have tried to simplify and describe everything in detail:

@ntxdave
Maybe an alternate solution works.
Make a component composed of two components, one very simple as a line (this would be our place holder), and the object you want to scatter. Separate their tag (layer) and hide the "complicated object's" layer (tag).
Now it is time to scatter the simple (placeholder) one.
It could be done using "component spray" plugin, I think.
It must render fine in RS, I guess.

When it comes to concept sharing, I personally prefer to keep the conversation open, not confined by materials, etc. I believe the best option is still using Sketchup styles.
Recently I adjusted some of my styles carefully for the best result in concept sharing and quick presentation. No need to apply any material, they work best in Monochrome mode.
I have tweaked them so that shadows have colors preventing default gray SketchUp shadows, section line, and selected objects also are customized to add more variations and match the style.
They are now live in the Shop section:

Each one is carefully set and built up .

@tuna1957 Thanks mate. It is a basic course, by the way it may provides you with a few minutes of creative and quality time!
Feel free to share, please!

Those renders are lovely!

It is technically doable, you are right, BTW it was much easier using Stylebuilder.
I personally have developed all my styles inside Sketchup, based on my previously made line-art styles (using style builder).
I will share more soon.

I started painting old Tehran.

@pixelcruncher I DMed you, do you mind checking it please?

I enjoyed your works a lot, man; they're fantastic!

@Rich-O-Brien, These renders are jaw-dropping!

Rational, quality and diverse spaces, coherent... Nicely designed!

You can slice it using the Zorro plugin... or give me a more clear description

When it comes to concept sharing,, we prefer to keep the conversation open, not confined by materials, etc. I believe the best option is still using Sketchup styles.
Some while ago I shared some of my personal styles and last week I had the chance to refine some of them.
They work best in Monochrome mode and I have tried to modify the "Selected object" color, as well as the "section cut line" color.
This way we have some more line-color freedom.
I will share them soon. Here is a glance at the Majid-Sketchy set.
P.S. : They are now live in the Shop section:

For those interested in design principles and creativity, I think there are some useful hints in my A, B, Sketches book. It is designed to boost your form generation creativity yet you may use it as a blueprint for 3D modeling drills to challenge and improve your skills.
You may grab your copy from the Sketchucation shop here:

Here are some images that I think are mainly relevant to design, and that is why I am sharing them in the gallery section. I would be happy to see your attempts.

Thank you for the wonderful pictures. Maybe one day we can all visit each other in peace and mutual respect.

Let's hope!
Politicians are the greatest businessmen and the boundaries (physical and mental) are their tool IMO!

This is a killer modeling... Jawdropping job!

@rv1974 I have no idea, mate! I hope it is not polluting for ordinary people. Let's pray for a lasting peace in the region and collaboration between the two great nations.
