Curious problem on my Macs (work and home): The Layer Manager toolbar does not appear automatically. Each time I open SU7 I have to go to View/Tool Palettes and click on Layer Manager. Sort of a nuisance, but Layer Manager is a major player for me in SU.

Is this normal or do I have a problem?

This pluggin seem magnificient however I have an issue similar to yours Bob. Except , the layer manager tool bar does not even show under the "view-->toolbars" menu. help? I do I get it to display?

This type of plugin is loaded as an 'extension', so it needs to be registered before it appears in the View>Toolbars list
To register it [once only needed] open Window>Preferences > Extensions tab, scroll to find 'Layer Manager' and tick its box: it should them be available on the View>Toolbars list

Tig! you ARE the Big Cat.

Thanks

However, it does not show there either...

Model Info > Animation
Set Scene Delay to 0 seconds

Also try adjusting transition times etc...

Thanks TIG I will give it a go.

Hi all,
I was wondering if it is possible to make a video without pauses on the scenes. A real Fly thru.
How do you do that?
Thanks

Hello, I came accross Skindigo, and beside a pretty name I am not sure what it has.
Any experience with it?
I am looking for a landscape oriented 3d photorealistic rendering tool.
Waddya say??

Pilou WORD!!! you are absolutely right. However, I need to try before I buy and I most definitely do not have thousands od euro-bucks to put in a soft.
Any experience with SKindigo?

Mazdak, as you said twice, you are a landscape architect, can you give me an idea of what you are looking to achieve?

The reason I ask is maybe you need to be looking at more/other software to achieve what you need.

SOLO!!!! The stuff you have under your exterior section is definitely WOWWWW!!!! is it sketchup based?

Admiringly yours,

Hi all,
I am a landscape architect based in France and recently dropped my pencils for the mouse. I am fairly proficient with autocad and the adobe suite. Now it is time for me to do the great 3d modeling/rendering leap.
I have been fidgeting around with sketchup for years but never got the chance to wrap my head around it. Now, after a long thinking process (do I want to use the same tools as the competition or not) I ended up modeling a site for a project in sketchup.
Building up the existing site was fun and I ended up with a fairly accurate result. So me is happy.
Now I am sooooooo unsatisfied about the rendering, it is scary... I am braindamagingly perfectionist and my results are far from perfection... so I browsed around and saw some jaw dropping images produced with a combination of sketchup and 3d rendering software.

I tried (unsuccessfully) to install and use Kerkythea. I have not spent much time on it. I came here to fish for advices.
1-will using sketchup pro improve the graphics of my models?
2-FOR LANDSCAPE PURPOSE mostly, what rendering software will you recommend? Ideally it will be free and easy to use (and come with a get out of jail card for free )

The thing is I am a landscape architect and not a graphic designer. I do not have the proper education to produce what I would find a proper document to present to my clients. But right now, my business is a small little sprout. Until mu business grows into a proper shade providing tree that will enable me to contract a pro to do that for me, well I have to learn the basic.
Help!!!!

Sincerely yours,
Verbal.
