I had to follow that short instructional.

I was reading on the google SU forums and saw a post about "Brighter3D" An SU plugin.

Is anyone familiar. I was curious why the author wasn't active here.

With a newly purchased computer (i5) I am now able to do a little rendering I hope so I was wondering...Is kerkythia still the preferred engine for beginners?

advice?

I should downgrade to beginner!

...between hiding elements of a model and using layers to make them invisible? Any advantages in regard to changes made?

thank you both...I should have thought of wiki

Can you give me a brief history of SketchUp ie: when was it first developed (version 1)
Who developed it?

wow that's amazing

nicely mowed too.

It was probably called that because of its simple non-ornate style.

I like that one.

one depicted is a "California Corner" It's the one that makes sense.

my new beginners tip....if you want to highlight a portion of your model...apply transparency to the materials of the rest of the model.

steps are usually about 7-8"
hand rails probably about 36"

two stretchers...it's hard to tell

...for a house with no children!

oh wow spiderwebs...I thought it was nancy pelosis hair

Hope not..I really like this site. I send people here all the time...or try to.

I'm wondering if the recent premium membership drive is going to degrade the quality and participation of the board in general. I'm sure the principles involved haven't seen a decrease in activity but...it seems to be slowing down a bit. I've seen this before...or am I imagining things?

Personally I like the model but as a desk I wouldn't like having to clear the top to open or close the doors on it. I'm cluttered too.

I just like to model as if building with real wood. We all know how cutlist is going to see that molding. If you aren't going to draw the molding as individual pieces, why draw a drawer or door or skirt or shelves...the file would be much smaller.
Sorry my question wasn't about using follow me but leaving it in a single piece..but you knew that.

almost perfect!
why did you use follow me on the crown?
