Hi, you have two surfaces that share the same plane so SU doesn't know which one has to be showed. Simply shift a bit on the green ax the oval (0,5 mm must be enough). After all in real life your oval must have a tickness.

Ok, thanks and congratulations.

Great images indeed. Only a little question, did you model the wood planks in last two images or is just a texture?

Thanks Kirill, really a good plugin and it works fine!

Hi Fastmerc, if you want to make something like this, draw the arc and then use the scale tool.

Great, great image. It reminds me some of John Soane drawings.

With or without unclick, you have to orbit a bit the model towards the sky. Like the picture i've posted. Otherwise your pushpull is made to the ground.

Now i'm lost. It works well here.

No problem at all in pushpulling both your objects. You simply have to orbit your model so your pushpull is not on the ground. Select pushpull, left click on a face, press the mouse wheel and orbit. Then release the mouse.

Window>styles>edit and uncheck endpoints.

Very nice model so far. But comparing your model with the real photo i can say:

1. The proportion between the width of the alley and the height of the buildings is wrong and very improbable in a medieval city. The right side building has to be higher and the alley tighter;
2. You have a strange, and quite impossible, floor join in the right side building: the backline of the door-window of the first floor is under the top edge of the door on the ground floor;
3. The left side building has, in the reference photo, a crooked front that ideally converge towards the arch. The same for the building of the right side: his front is aligned with the arch;
4. The real alley has no sidewalks.
   I understand that your model in not intended to be “real”, but when you design a street or a square, proportions and relationships between the open spaces and buildings are really important to represent a place, even an imaginary one.
   Sorry, i know, i’m a boring european architect

Hi Pillows, go to window>styles>edit and uncheck endpoints.

Nice and clean work. I especially like the "grain" you put in the images like they were old photos. What about the "floating Barcelona"?

Could you post the model?

Maybe the faces are all grouped? If so double click on the group or the component and then you can paint a single face.

Maybe it's this you're looking for?

Jim, i have quite a cheap scanner "Canoscan LIDE 600F" that works with a ScanGear that can make what you described directly in the preview before the scanning. But it comes with a program called "Arcsoft Photostudio" that (not in all versions i believe) can make that after the scanning.

Now it's really good!! Thanks again.

Now it works fine! Only a little thing: the edges are not included in the section cut group. Is that normal?
Thank you.
Massimo

Try again with a very simple box or two and see if it works...
If so, please publish what it actually fails on, so I can see what might be the problem...
