Hi all, been away from SU for a while! Anyway, I'm trying to design Cabanas. I have no problem with the woodwork, but am having a problem putting on the stripped palm roofs. Some of which are curved, and I need to be able to see the detail underneath. I should know this!! HELP!! Thnx. richardplant.

Thanks everyone for your replies and advice. Seems I've got a hell of a lot to learn just in basic computing!!!

Anyway, I'll be here at the forum more often, as It's a great way to learn more about SU, and seems a nice community to encourage me to maybe place anything that I do that may be 'worthy' into the warehouse!

Hi Mike,
Yeah I'd love to know about this e-cig. Maybe I,ll stop getting ash on my laptop!!!
Regards
Richard

Thanks again guys.
Richard.

Solo, I should have looked at your designs first before replying! I was just in a hurry to say thanks! They're great! They've showed me what can be possible!!! Just need to get the file sizes down huh?
Thanks Richard

Thanks Solo and Gaieus for further info. It was going to be my next question,(after Mateo's reply), whether I could keep the file size down in someway without losing quality.

I'll have to work out a little to what you've said. (Still walking, not running yet!)

I noticed that a 'Tom' was mentioned in a post as your 'plant man'! Not wanting to tread on his toes, but if he would care to give me a little more advice on what he did, or rather a good starting point, or any tips he'd care to pass on, just maybe I could take things a little further? Or at least increase a library by species. (In time!).

Thanks again for your time,
Richard

Again, many thanks Mateo. Yes, I'm beginning to understand the problem. It's a shame, as I know a lot of landscapers use SU, of course it's great for hardscaping. Maybe, SU in time will be able to address this problem. However, in the meantime, I think I will still go on and create some plants/trees to add to the warehouse. Thanks for links also.

Although I have been using Su for some time. I am kicking myself for not joining this forum before!

Firstly, (just after two days here), I really need to thankall you SU guru's, and other SU advanced users, including the newbies, who ask the questions!

I have in one day, (so far), learned more going through newbie forum than I have in two years!

Not that I have suffered, Because, as the program describes itself, it's intuitive!!! Thank you SU!

It goes without saying I will be here more often............, with the hope, to soon, help others!

Bless.

Richardplant. (I think I'll ask Gaieus to change my username soon!)

This is a brilliant post. Thank you! I know it is going to help me a lot in my chosen tasks! . richardplant

Hi Gaieus. I did say think idiot!! HA! What happens is that I download a plugin/ruby, and a download page appears on my screen to which they download. When I open them, it asks me 'with what' to open them with. (internet explorer etc.). I've tried to 'browse' and select SU, but does not recognise this. I'm sure I'm just doing something basically wrong, or my laptop is not set up properly to deal with downloads! Thanks, Richardplant
