Believe me, if I could do it all in SketchUP Pro I would! The problem is that for Construction Drawings and Deliverables and for importing Civil Data from Survey Instruments, SketchUP is not your best tool. It lacks the 2d CAD capablilities of a standard CAD package. It is getting better though. BricsCAD (or -let me hold my nose here- Auto…[Read more]

Hi David and John!

See my discussion “Land FX plug-in for Sketchup” When I was talking with Stephanie I included a typical work flow.
Hope this helps!

Golf course architecture is a really true test of large and small scale visionary deisgn and extremely rigorous construction and engineering techniques. ….. And, it is really fun.

Great. Glad to help. 🙂

I am using SU8 and that worked perfect. Thank you so much Wyatt!

Wyatt Thompson, PLA posted an update in the group SketchUp 13 years, 5 months ago

It sounds like you want the photomatch view without the photo showing. Is that correct? Are you using SU8? Open the Styles window and click on Modelling Settings (the last icon). At the bottom there are toggles for the match photo background.

Wyatt, I brought a photo in for photo matching, I then outlined the buildings and faces that I needed to create 3D models of. I then used the orbit tool to move the camera which takes me into the 3D drawing mode where I applied materials to the faces in my model. I then created a scene with the 3D model. So, now I have the automatically generated…[Read more]

Dave, it might be helpful if you could describe more specifically what you’re trying to do, because I’m not sure I understand your question. The purpose of Photomatch is to move the camera so it sets the view of the model to align to a photo you are trying to match. Can you not use scenes to switch back and forth between the different views?…[Read more]

Dave Breiter posted an update in the group SketchUp 13 years, 5 months ago

Does anyone know how to switch from the 2D sketching mode to the drawing mode in photo match without adjusting the camera angle? I have buildings outlined perfectly in the sketching mode but the only way I can tell to switch to the drawing mode is with the POV tools and to do that my model no longer has the correct camera view.

Thank you,
Dave

Thanks Daniel!

Does anyone know the estimated total number of Google SketchUp users in the U.S. or world wide?

Dave Breiter posted an update in the group SketchUp 13 years, 8 months ago

I’m really stumped on the whole photo match feature in SU. I have a project where I need to show a new streetscape design meshed with a photo of the existing street and I can’t for the life of me get photo match to work right. I have viewed several of the tutorial videos on YouTube but I am just not able to get the origin or the axis to come out…[Read more]

Daniel, I just got your book today, briefly looking through it I’m excited to work my way through it. I was surprised to see that the model that you used in the Sandbox Webinar was not in there. I’m assuming and hopefully there is another section in the book that covers the principles that you did in that webinar because I was not able to attend…[Read more]

Jack C. Myers posted an update in the group SketchUp 13 years, 8 months ago

Daniel,
Thanks for the fast response. It was very helpful. I looked through a lot of helpful plugins and ruby scripts that will be useful. I don’t know who Andrew is. So, I can’t contact him. On another note, what is the script/plugin that automatically fills in the space between CAD lines with plains?

BTW, I ordered your book & will get it soon.…[Read more]

QUESTION:
Can anyone tell me how I can view the webinars presented by Daniel Tal for Land8Lounge in July? I saw one of them and I want to watch it again. Also, Daniel gave a list of plug-ins that he recommends. That would be helpful.

Steven Bauer posted an update in the group SketchUp 13 years, 9 months ago

I’m about to purchase a computer and trying to decide on a laptop. I want to run SketchUp to show progress on their projects. Anyone have a suggestion on the speed, graphic cards that I should use? I’m considering the I5 Mac Pro laptop. I’m also considering a desktop. Again, does anyone have a suggestion on the power and graphic card to use for…[Read more]
