We are a based Bangkok based architectural firm. We are looking for a (preferably) Bangkok based individual who has experience in creating high quality photo realistic rendered images from a sketchup model that we will supply. Please PM me if you are interested. Regards Mal

Haha OK JQL, great reply. Many thanks. I was hoping for an easy solution but somehow suspected that there wasn't going to be one. On that note, I would like to cast my vote to revamp the move tool. The four-in-one thing is a nightmare. Its just way too frustrating to move things. Just a simple move tool please Mr Trimble.

Cheers

Hi Im struggling with the Layout move tool. I try to move an object in LO and the magic hand appears, and I end up rotating it, then the 4 arrows appear and I end up resizing it. How can I just move it? is there a key I hold down? Its probably a simple answer, Ive googled it but no luck. Thanks in advance. Mal

Interesting approach Gabewill. To make the box clearer you gotta think outside the box

Hi Kris,

Thanks for the thumbs up... very much appreciated to get that from someone with your level of experience.

Ive seen some 2D plan drawing systems on Youtube that generate an enormous amount of hits, so there's certainly a strong demand out there for that sort of thing. Personally I think if you're going to use a computer for design you may as well go for the extra D

Thanks again and all the best

Hi Tandem,

Thanks for your enquiry. TreblD actually isn't a plug in, it is in fact a SketchUp model, so any technology that applies to SketchUp will apply to TreblD.

TreblD has been created to assist people, generally lay-people rather than design professionals, to design there own homes. (Although we certainly have no objection if a design professional wants to use it). If someone uses TreblD to design there own home but they want to take it to their own design professional (rather than the TreblD Studio)to prepare construction drawings or the like, that's OK. But the person who downloaded TreblD is obliged to pay TreblD (the rather modest) Copyright Consent fee of $49.

If that person is for example a property developer who wants to build that same dwelling on 5 different properties they are obliged to pay the fee 5 times. If they want to build 20 dwellings on one property they are obliged to pay the fee 20 times.

If (as it happens in the vast majority of cases) someone wants to download TreblD and play around with it at home just for fun, design 50 different dream-homes, an apartment complex, a retirement village, TreblD is absolutely free.

Feel free to take a look at it Tandem. It can be fun to mess around with, as Pilou found

Cheers

Mal

Actually Pilou I never thought of using it the way you did That's amazing you could hang it on the wall. Bravo!

Lol I guess so Pilou. But without those tiny spanners

Hi Folks,

We at TreblD learnt a lot from the sketchUcation forums, so we thought its time to give something back to the community.
