Hi everyone,

I have just won a small design job and looking for a bit of advice.

Can anyone give me a short list of plants that would be easy to source in Hong Kong and suitable for planting around an industrial site (ie very low maintenance!)

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Many thanks

Andrew

Hi all,

I am a 4th year student who has previously worked in China and then also visited Hong Kong. Where I fell in love, with the city that is (!). Now I would really like to go back and I thought it would be really nice to spend a semester there. Do you guys have any ideas at all of courses or schools within the field of urban planning/design…[Read more]

Dear Zach,,,,Thank you very much for such valuable information,,,one more question ,,,Is there are many differences between the free version and payable one ?,,,,best regards,,,,kiwan

Zach Watson posted an update in the group SketchUp 13 years, 4 months ago

In regards to the first comment about the program operating very slow, I would guess that either there are so many objects in the file that it is making the program run slow, or hardware on your computer such as your CPU and/or your Memory are not fast enough for the program. In regards to the CAD to Sketchup, Google removed that option in the…[Read more]

Daniel,
I like the Dynascape SketchUP. Is the Dynascape easy to work with using their SketchUP landscape SketchUP plant materials?

Frank Varro posted an update in the group SketchUp 13 years, 5 months ago

Looking good as always Daniel! My only complaint is the people, in that I hate them, in that I don’t have them. I’ll send you some of my newer stuff today to see what you think.

What rendering tool did you use for that model?

Craig T posted an update in the group SketchUp 13 years, 5 months ago

Does anyone have an opinion about the value of Dynascape for SketchUp – the plant library in particular?

Denis – try “From Concept to Form in Landscape Design” by Grant Reid. It’s a good starting point for what you’re talking about.

Hello! I am looking for manuals on Design itself – especially combining forms and shapes(geometry), getting beatiful lines, proportions and finally getting harmonious composition. Any good books or e-books? The best free available on-line:) Waiting for advices!

Hey Daniel – I have a quick (hopefully) question. I tried to create a shade structure, but I can’t seem to figure out how to control the direction the fabric is taking. On the attached SU file, I would like the fabric to have a downward curve (showing the gravity) and instead I have an upward curve. Is there a quick way of changing the curve……[Read more]

Hey Dave. One way would be to map appropriate landform/vegetation/sky images to a curved background similar to these at SCF. You could also do a search for sky dome at SCF or in the 3D Warehouse. If you intend to fly right up to the edge of the TIN, you might also need to extend the surface out a ways to meet at the image. By matching the…[Read more]

I am working on an animated fly-through of an airport. I have a tin of the actual terrain and have added my 3D model of the airport to the tin. My question for the group is, what do I do to eliminate “the earth is flat” look of my animation. My terrain tin extends in a two mile radius from the airport. I thought about putting a sky/horizon image…[Read more]

You could also try the Shapebender script by Chris Fullmer. It can be a little complicated to figure out at first, but once you understand what it’s doing, it becomes pretty easy to manipulate. Chris has produced several videos (also posted at the above link) that help explain. If you have questions after watching those I’ll do my best to help.
