    • RE: Can I make random adjustments to the height of my fence?

      Hi,

      ur problem is that you made the fence 1"x6" rails a component and replicated that component again and again. So when you try to change one rail they all change. Try making the affected rails 'unique' by right clicking and making neccessary adjustments from there

    • Where's Best for VRay Tuts?

      Hi Guys,

      I'm an intermediate user of SU and recently got Vray. I struggling to get to grips with it and finding Sketchup related tutorials for Vray is proving very hard.

      Could you suggest sites for me to browse to learn using this plug-in?

      I followed all the tutorials on the Vray Manual for Sketchup but feel I'm only touching iceberg tip

      Any suggestions are welcome.....

      Also i use sketchup for modeling aircraft parts and components for use in training apprentices to understand structure better so I'd like to use rendered pictures to add some extra pizazz to my presentations

    • Modelling on Terrain

      Hi Guys,

      I've recently captured my house from Google Earth and modeled it on SU7.The file is attached.

      My question is how do i get the part i modeled to sit on the sloping site that i live on? Things like the fence, house and shed are ugly when i use the stamp tool. And when i try to smoove terrain it gets messy?

      If i have to start again it's fine but I'd like to know if there's a video out there that can explain what I'm trying to achieve?

    • How to make screw threads?

      Greetings,
      I tried this post in the newbie section but it died a long death! So, here's my query, i want to make various thread types for screws and bolts of different diameters, pitch and leads. That is, 'V-Threads, Acme Threads, Buttress Threads' etc.
      Is there a plugin that will make my life easier? I've tried 3d Warehouse for components but no luck?

      Remus kindly supplied the following links to help understand what i'm trying to make

      Greetings,

      I'm trying to create various thread types with SU7, v-thread, acme thread, buttress thread and round thread. Is there a plugin that can do this for me? I would also like to be able to change the lead on each of these threads if possible?
