Take a look at this.

There are many free cad drawings and 3ds models that you can import in SU. Not sure that you'll find exactly the model you're looking for.

Ok, thanks. I'll give it another try.

I've tried this toolset and after 10m i removed it. With 29$ you have a collection of plugins that you can get for free (and in many cases they work better) like align, Kt tools, trim and extend, fillet, roof, windowizer ecc. plus a duplicate of native SU commands like array, offset ecc. Maybe i missed something...

Thank you, TIG. Really useful.

Simply create a cone and then use the move command to move the apex, no?

Take a look at this.

It's called "Make faces".

I don't have SU7 so i cannot open your file. But you can look at this.

Hi Fredo, i've not tried this plugin yet and maybe it works for my request. But it's possible to add a filter "by distance" to the selection via rectangle? I try to explain: actually when you select by a rectangle you select all edges and faces in the window even if they are very far and that is quite annoying. I have in mind an option with an input for maximum distance selection like, for example, "select all edges and faces in the window as far as 100 cm". Something like "Max Wall Thickness" in Windowizer 4 plugin.
Thank you and sorry if that is a nonsense...
Massimo.

Follow me works only with faces. To extrude a line you can try this http://www.sketchucation.com/forums/scf/viewtopic.php?f=153&t=1512. There is a tool called "extrude selected lines along vector".

I don't really know both, but the maximum resolution output from the L3DT Standard Edition is limited to 2048x2048 instead of 513x513 pixels.

Has anybody tried this?
The standard version is free and seems quite powerful.

Thanks Frederik! I'll try to improve my skill.

Great work indeed, Jason. You did that all in sketchup? But Troy is right.
Try this great and free little program.

Hope that helps.

This is my try with Kerkythea. I'm totally new to rendering. It's a young Barbera del Monferrato...

Nice renderings and nice building. A little technical note: you can't put the corrugated iron of the roof like that without a secondary structure

Ok, thanks. That works.

Fredo, some problems with this new version. Draw a rectangle, pushpull it then stretch. Use the bend tool. It doesn't works properly anymore.

Watkins, the plugin works also out of plane.
