I was messing around last night and modeled the wheel below. I'm still a n00b so I'm just doing random items. It was rendered with the trial version of Podium.

Anyways, two questions. The perimeter of the outside of the wheel and even the center hub... the outside isn't quite smooth. Any ideas why?

Also, in the second shot, there is a white line going around the wheel right inside the outside lip. Any clue what could cause that?

Again, I'm real new to SU so it might be the way I'm modeling/grouping components that is causing these items.

Thanks for all the kind words.

I'm installing Kerkythea right now. I'm sure I'll have lots of questions once I start using it, lol.

As for the trees, I found them in a model I downloaded through 3D warehouse.

Hello

First time poster here. I recently downloaded Sketch Up and modeled an office building my firm has designed. I would like to get some tips on what program to use to make it look more realistic. Everything you see here is done in Sketch Up. The architecture firm I work for designs mostly large custom homes, so that is the type of work I will be doing. Any hints/tips/comments is greatly appreciated.
