Thanks guys see this is great i appreciate it.

"We kill for you" funny! I wonder if we mention these kinds of words in a topic what the ads will end up as

RayOchoa, I had exactly the same problem before SU7 came out. http://www.sketchucation.com/forums/scf/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=1897&p=31500&hilit=+converter#p8826 Now that I use version 7, it's not a problem for me anymore.. DeepExploration can save into any version of SketchUp (from v3 to v7), and you can use it's batch function to convert multiple files at a time. However, it messes up texture maping of textured SU models. It costs quite a bit too, but you can use trial version for a month without restrictions. It's good in every other way though.

domains & hosting is cheap, ray-ochoa.com is (still) free: http://www.godaddy.com/ for generating content, get a WebCMS, e.g.: http://www.wordpress.com/ http://www.joomla.org/ tons of free and commercial templates avail. have fun, Norbert

find the plugin "Automated 2d Output"... maybe in Didier's website

How strange, that top one doesn't work with me. When inside the .kmz all I see is a klm file. But thanks a lot for the second one, works great, thankyou very much.

Ray, you are going to need a UV unwrapper like Ultimate Unwrap 3D. You are probably also going to need your model completely made of triangles, No problem if exported to 3ds. UU 3D is only 50 or 60 bucks, depending on the version. Frankly, SU Pro ought to have incorporated these features long ago. http://www.unwrap3d.com/

VLC is a great simple player that you can get for free.

Lol well all its stands for is a weird model At least i recovered my model from a previous autosave. If you want to see the complete model its http://sketchup.google.com/3dwarehouse/details?mid=b3c8d49f3d2f351d145b4cbe1c91cb6a

ill try that too thx. it would be really nice if there was a way to make an application that could do all this with one click directly into sketchup

Oh well sorry for scaring u guys like that he he

select the roof lines and make them one with the Weld plugin http://www.smustard.com/script/Weld

Well done for sticking to it and not giving up. I hope your study's will be productive and happy for you.

Hi Ray, Have a look at the tutorial section on KT's forum : http://www.kerkythea.net/joomla/index.php?option=com_openwiki&Itemid=75&id=tutorials

As far as i can tell subd and smooth is really 2 operations, one that subdivides all the geometry and then one that smooths it. The plugin lets you do both of these at the same time or just one at a time. So if youve got some geometry that youve already subdividedbut hasnt been smoothed you can smooth it without having to subdivide further, which would produce no-quite-right results and very high poly geometry. One more slight difference is that when it (smooth) has finished changing the geometry it doesnt soften all the lines.

@rayochoa said: I had to ask, what is the difference between the render presets? Please download the new Getting Started tutorial and read page 33 and 34... Also - I would recommend that you visit the KT Forum where you can make a search for these and similar questions and find a lot of good answers...

I know how to use it
