looks like a "sketchup's-evil-brother" icon.

Retch-up. Lol.

Thanks guys. I'll try some of these out.

Hello all,
I am fairly new to SketchUp and was wondering which plugins should I have? I use SketchUp mainly just for fun and would not like to have to pay for any plugins. Which free ones would you recommend? I currently have the SU2K plugin, the Loop Subdivision plugin, and fur maker. Are there any others I should get? Thanks in advance.

hehe .....This is a funny and informative thread at the same time...

I have one... discovered by mistake yesterday.
If one is in a complicated model and want to focus attention to a particular part of the model, one can double click on the scroll wheel at the point one is interested in and that will centre that point in the middle of the screen....making orbiting even easier.

Haha! Thanks! Funny how stupid some people are. Surely not me though!

actually . . I just felt writing the word Jejuene.

I had to look that one up . . .

Today I discovered that I can drag-and-drop images straight from Firefox into the SketchUp viewport.

Wow! Just tried it with your avatar and it works!!!

Well...it looks like a sketch of a house up in the air...so i'll go for the obvious and say 'Sketchup'!

Yep!

the duh moment that turned out to just be a der! moment.

but seriously you can copy your construction lines with (ctrl) copy, and then say *10 or whatever so you get 10 equally spaced. if that helps?

Duh! Wow again! I have such a hard time dividing stuff like 7 3/16" into 3 equal sections. This helps a lot! Thanks!

A more recent Duh I had:

Being able to select only a few edges from a face and offset them instead of the whole face.

I had this one today!!

Wow. I didn't know that! I thought you had to offset the whole thing then erase unwanted lines and draw wanted lines. Duh!

Looks like fun so I figured I'd take a whack at it. Threw this together. Pretty easy one.

@SketchupNoobie: a light house?

Nope. Good guess though. I thought it was easy, maybe I just did it bad.

Wow. Just wow. These look like pictures, only . . . better! Very well done!

Nice work. Anyone have some barbecue sauce?

Anyone up to the challenge of creating it in SketchUp?

It's me again. I want to try some rendering and was wondering what is the best rendering application for me. I want a free renderer and one that is easy to use/get used to. Thanks in advance.

Title says it all. Do you?

Ok. Also fairly new to Kerkythea so any tips would be appreciated. Also, how do I get more materials for use in Kerky?

I am going to render it in Kerkythea.

Ha ha. Unfortunately, yes. It's not connected at all to the stand, pretty basic. About the shade, I just did regular colors at 99 opacity. I was going for more of a stained glass effect such as this. http://www.americanblankets.com/cimage/images/dtif/8655-551-lg.jpg Any suggestions?

Thank you so much Gaieus! Finished it. It's pretty bad, I know, but I'm getting better.
