hi,

by "gentle" i mean to make the same depth of carving everywhere ( to copy a surface with

carving ), because the rock is not flat.

thanks

hi,

i ´d like to ask, is there any other, more gentle technique to do stone carving in SU,

rather than use solid tools please?

thanks!

hi,

wondering if there is any hope, that future SU imports 2D ai/eps files directly, rather

than converting 2D model to dwg/dxf , import to SU and spend hours (with an excellent WELD plugin)

to fix the lines.

do not hesitate to share your tips ( not just with me ) , if you find more interesting and

faster technique

thanks!

hi,

i´ve found a few different versions of SU logo in warehouse,but they are a bit different.

wondering how to make the right one with photo match technique

it seems a bit distorted.

thanks

su_logo.skp

sorry to see the same problem, which i´ve too.
i´m sorry that so excellent program doesn´t support eps/ai/cdr files.
when i like to import from coreldraw ( in my case) i added a lot of dots,export to *dxf, then fix each object manually with weld plugin in SU.
hope this issue gets fixed soon,it´ll be a great improvement for sure.

*i gets the best results by dxftool pro macro for CorelDraw

Thanks for Enlightening Me, hope the new version is great.

hi,

yes i did, it´s great by the way.

unfortunately, there´re only premade sizes of sheets and boards

please correct me if i´m wrong.

hi,

everyone knows cutlist, an excelent plugin for SU.

http://www.sketchupwoodplans.com/2011/10/19/cutlist-plugin-good-start/

wondering if there is another plugin to do the same job for unlimited size of material,

because i often need it for my drawings.

i´d be very grateful for any tips or share.

thanks!

i´m sure SU warehouse contains plenty of suitable models for your project

thank you for an excellent and quick helpful answer.
you´re 100% right !

hi,
i´ve encountered unwanted transparency effect of model during photo merge technique, and don´t know, how to get rid of it.
it´d be nice to have it in the original color.
i´d be grateful for any tips to fix it.
thanks in advance

hi,
i´ve seen very interesting ideas about micro apartments on the internet, and like to

create a cozy and warm home with a gentle touch of Asia in very limited area / 3d model

uploaded to mediafire due to size

model download: http://www.mediafire.com/?eiq9a82x78idf

i like ideas to hide all things into walls, to have plenty of space for yoga and

meditation exercises or even drawing large pictures on the floor.

i ´ve found very comfortable living on the floor since my visit of South East Asia.

i´d be grateful for any tips to make my dream true

even wondering how to get day sunlight to bathroom too, when there´s no window:

it´s been a great pleasure to see great ideas of SU fans in touch.

thanks!

hi guys,

thanks for your valuable tips and experiences, especially to sdmitch for his excellent models share.

it seems to me a very difficult task

(...unless you did it for yourself before)

hi chon,

i´t s great, at the end i´ve found it!

man, i´m glad that was a trivial problem

thank you all you guys !

hi,

i´ve encountered a similar problem, crashing with SU8 when apply dimensions to a simple

model.( + with 1001bit plugin too )

i fixed by reinstalling sketchup, vray, and updating graphic driver.

cheers!

yes, you´re 100% right.

displacement was checked by default, not by me...

I swear I didn't do it!

hi andybot,

i´ve repeat it today, and get the same weird result , even dispacement setting is

unchecked.

i never use displacement for this rendering.

i´ve even updated graphic card driver with no results, maybe some gremlins are playing in

my wet laptop.

(model - test.skp)

hi andybot,

thanks a lot for your valuable reply, it think you´re on the right track.

best of luck!
......................................................................................

...wondering why it shows 100% , when some part are still waiting to be finished.

is there any info about the state of rendering process ( in proggress/finished/error )

i´ve been waiting for over 20minutes without any change.
