@alan wood said: Hi Gully The chairs look nice and comfortable and the table would appear to extend. Did you make this yourself? I'm tempted to ask Coen if the woodworkers on this site could maybe have a shed to play in, and maybe talk about methods of making etc. Pass on a few tips etc. Any views on that? That would be really nice, because I might be soon to start a project, and i am all for any tips or suggestions that may alter my design to make it look better or be more useful. I have the model and have only sort of started dimensioning out individual pieces in my rather unprofessional way so I know what I need to make.

If you have something that you need eported from 3dsMax let me know...Glad to help out.. Richard

Well you could always print a list with a thumbnail with dimensions on it. Or something. Then again Ive never been much to organize... anything at all in fact.

did I not put 3ds in there sorry... I thought I put all 3 extensions in there... thanks Mateo, for the catch...

Yup 99% Podium, one or two Vue renders.

It didn´t work for me. But i found that copy all the model to a new sketchup file work and now vray can render everything!

I would use a night HDRI for the environment and GI. The rect lights in your building may need to be turned up in order to get the glow you want. My suggestion is to play with a test model using just a box with a 'window' cut out and try the methods described above to see what gets the effect you are looking for. Nice FREE HDRIshttp://www.hdrlabs.com/sibl/archive.html

jenujacob I guess printing the manual will make it easier to use and indeed the forum looks interesting. Good starting points. Thnx (Afterburn)

why not just use the "push/pull multiple faces" ruby for this? That's what I use

Nice one Gully! Thanks. (Gidon)

@krisidious said: . . . that site will go dead soon... thanks I must be missing something. Google's 3D warehouse closing down? Or have you found that links to it don't last? What am I missing?

Thanks for the styles!

Thanks, guys. Once the evaluation expired, things have come back up to speed. I'll have to assume that the eval was doing it. poster-macbennett
