Tnx Rich,

as using Thea for rendering then just (for testing) made really simple model of tree trunk as Instance base & used "ring" model as instance & basically that's it. Probably have to play with thickness of instances & have to create a better base model to get the proper shape of tree but otherwise does the job good enough.
My Q was pretty much for the interest if there's an easy way to do it in SU with any kind of plugins & from the point of getting smarter in SU. You're never too smart in SU, are you?
Will try those suggestions You offered as well just out of curious. Thanks for that

Cheers,
Mark

Hi folks,

Long time no see.
Facing a problem or rather trying to gather ideas how to make a model of a tree included from 10cm rings welded side by side?
As it will be rendered from distance only then easiest way I can think of is to make a simple 3d model, subdivide & texture it with fredos UV-tool.
Just curious if there's a plugin that could help me doing it in proper 3d? Maybe some plugin tutorial hint?

Cheers,
Mark

Keyword for Search I used was 'cobble'

cheers Paul,
First on is almost there... have to check with client.
Yeah, "cobble(stone)" was one of the words for my searches as well btw doesn't seem to be too many options for that texture unfortunately.

Hi folks,

been going through all my texture sources & haven't been lucky enough to find similar texture. Any hints, someone? Can be paid source as well.

cheers,

Hi guys,

asked in thea forum as well but just trying my luck here as well.
Haven't dealt with microstation files & getting them into SU before. Does anyone of you have access to one of the newer versions of MS that have option to export dgn -> skp. Project architect himself has version that doesn't support that option unfortunately. 2 files, both smaller than 2mb.

Cheers,
Mark

Great Dave, email sent

Cheers,
Mark

Thanks Dave, you're probably right How much is the newest version anyway?

Yeah, probably easiest option is to buy latest version. Oh boy, have to install all the plugins again :S

Cheers,
Mark

Tnx Liam, but that site offers me no older than ver 2015 download. Probably need custom link from someone from Trimble as 7.1 is way way old version.

Cheers,
Mark

Hi guys,

want to install SU 7.1 Pro on my new PC but can't locate installer anymore. Wanted to contact Trimble regards to that but can't find any email address anywhere. Can anyone help me or maybe anyone knows link to download 7.1 Pro?

Cheers,
Mark

Hi folks, anyone seen anywhere attached armchair model? Have quite demanding client. Cheers, Mark.

Hi folks, anyone seen anywhere similar antique table (leg part)? Somehow can't find it myself. Doesn't have to be skp. Cheers, Mark.

Don't know you, but fight through it, Kris!

Install AllowDWGImportInSketchUp7.msi. It is free. If you can't find it I'll send you.

Tnx, but does it work with SU8 as well? I try to find it
Edit: does it work on Mac?

Hi guys,

Usually using SU7 Pro, but at the moment have to use free version. Any ideas, how can I import DWG into free version?
Thanks for help,
Mark

Not sure, so I ask. Is this all possible with tablets/mobilephones? I mean: creating file from my SU model in my desktop PC and my clients can view/observe it in his tablet/mobile phone?

Beautiful! maybe something warmer on floor (similar to wall tile)
