So cool. You're on a roll! A scene after my own heart. Good model, huh?
Background works really well. The sand looks great! The dune grass is exploding though?

Put a beer bottle next to the chairs. Ginger beer if you like.

In which fashion do you intend to move the vertices? if you are simply moving them all in a single direction and dimension, move works for all, but if you are looking for a "soft" move, adjusting the shape of the curve, Vertex tools plugins may work.

There are other free/donate plugins to work with curves. "Curvizard" and Bezier Spline.

Very nice! How are you doing the plants?

Nice modeling! looks carefully detailed.

You can move vertices with the move tool. Pressing the up arrow constrains it to the z axis.

Start the move then type the distance.

More advanced control might be had with Vertex tools, but prob. not necessary

Maybe I am misunderstanding the goal.

Really nice. Are all the nice plants part of Enscape or do you have to go find them and put them in SketchUp?

These are so wondeful. And getting better!

I may be wrong--that you may actually have a special hardware or bug issue== but have you tried changing the setting under View menu /Component edit? Applies to groups too.

Definitely. Kudos!

Very nice! Those lamps came out great. I have a light like that and that's a very reailistic rendering of it!

When you tried dwg. Did you check the box in the LayOut export options that says "export for SketchUp"?

Regarding 2d version with breaklines, I'm not sure. I thought that you should be able to do this in LayOut. Why do you export it back to SketchUp? I don't understand your workflow. Tracing things over in LayOut doesn't seem to be the way it's intended to be used (extra work).

There are some good videos about how to use MatchPhoto online.

The sort of photo you need is one that:

1. Can be represented by two-point perspective. That is, you can find edges in the photo that recede to two different vanishing points on the horizon. The sets of edges for the two vanishing points are to be roughly perpendicular (as in two sides of a square building). The images you have can best be described by one-point perspective.

2. Has a vertical edge (helpful anyway) and and an idea of the vertical dimension of something along that edge, to set the blue scale.

3. Is a photograph that hasn't been cropped or otherwise changed geometrically from the original picture out of the camera. Perhaps the second photograph, at least, has been cropped--though some digital cameras can take square photos.

Sad to say, MatchPhoto has never been developed beyond these capabilities.

I second orbital. For CAD and modeling I want a clean approximation of the final shape of the room and as long as it's close to rectilinear that is what I'd use, while still respecting the actual dimensions in considering details or tolerances.

Good idea though to take as comprehensive photographs as possible of existing framing and plumbing to remain. And measure these accurately. Model or draw in CAD if it helps. I usually don't have time (or opportunity) to record specific existing wall framing, but it can be helpful, especially in an older building.

Great one!

Ah, we were so easily amused!

I could see an advantage to this for typical details, or details that can be modified for the current projects. Engineers that I work with seem to have a numbering system, almost every detail in the drawing has a number below the title.

I think it would be useful if the number included the year it was created or modified, or an abbreviation for the job it was used in, for custom designs.

I don't consider it useful in my work, the way that details and drawings are usually one-off. I can find work by saving in the computer under the project name.

So much is wasted on the private car. Space and money. But it's so nice too. Without it we would not have the two car garage to put our junk in.

Upgradeable? At present I could imagine upgrading computer capabilities, batteries, and other parts, but manufacturers have no incentive to provide reasonably priced parts, for wear and tear, when they can sell you a new car. Try to come up with a couple K to fix it, and it's easier to go in debt for new one. And it's cheaper to build a new car, I suspect, than to put an old one back together. It used be fixable by the home mechanic, but those days are gone?

More things need to refurbished, but probably the cost doesn't work out.

More "Cradle to Cradle" (it's a book) manufacturing and recycling is one way.

You add a plate below some headers. When is that required?

Tell me about it. Captcha has me pegged as a robot.Half the time I just can't get thru (not about Trimble).

Your login to 3d Warehouse would be your Trimble login not SketchUcation.
When you registered your SketchUp license you used a Trimble ID profile. You have to use the same one, or obtain an ID from Trimble.

Actually IDK if 3d Warehouse supports direct SU 2017 connections. If you go to DL a model 2017 is one of the available version choices.

This is so excellent! All around great work. If you are not tired of it, I, for one, enjoy seeing the polishing up of elements! The different time scenes and black and white!

I had a different thought independently though. I too was looking for a little trash. People in the mid century US did throw a lot of trash. At first it didn't seem to matter then built up with more disposables. That's why litter laws were invented. But then it would be random paper and tin cans. There are so many more people now and there is so much more plastic, that even with greater awareness areas get trashed. And which parking lots are you frequenting?!

The weeds are perfect though!
