A quick update, we have created some fencing textures based on the COLORBOND steel fencing colour range. At this stage we have created a package for the LYSAGHT profiles and will follow with the other rollformers soon.

The textures are free to download from:

Thanks Jim

Sorry about the extra components in the file. I have purged them and uploaded the new file to SteelSelect - lot smaller

I understand your comments on The poly-count - this model was one that we imported from AutoCAD and does look very heavy on the lines.
What process would you recommend to drop the count?

Hi Everybody

Just finished updating one of our rainheads into SketchUp. With this component Ive added a ZINCALUME steel texture.
It was based on one of our feature projects.

Its free to download from SteelSelect.com and the link is http://steelselect.com/download_centre/download.php?id=4879
The page has a link to the feature article.

We have a lot of rainheads on the site and hope to have available more of these in SketchUp format.

Hope you enjoy, any feedback please let me know.

*We are considering having a user added section - what do you think?

Regards
Richard

Hi Everbody

We have been busy with the current files. I've added some dynamic options to the files. You can now select from the COLORBOND steel colours.

Hi Everybody,
We received many hits on the free roofing and walling texture libraries (Thank you), the post was http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=40&t=34904 if you hadn't seen it.
At SteelSelect.com we have been playing around with or gutter libraries and have a sample set of Lysaght profiles up on the website. The link is
http://steelselect.com/content/viewresource.php?id=4603.
I've seen a lot of models with bad gutter corners and wanted to create these libraries to improve the use of gutters in Sketch Up modeling.
There is a demo you tube video on this page, the process we have used was to create a path and then use the follow Me tool to extrude the profile.
I welcome feedback on how we can make these better. Our intention is to extend this library to include all the rollformers on SteelSelect.com
All these resources are free to download.
Regards
Richard
