Thanks Daniel!

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

Thank you guys. This is a very supportive group 🙂 glad to be a member

dont overlook dubai. ‘acceptance’ to the profession is better there compared to AD. market may be down a bit, but its still worth checking. commuting from AD is not bad, just around 90 mins. better still, stay there, its cheaper and more metropolitan.

HelloYumilica,
Welcome to UAE…. Few companies worth to be checked , Broadway Malyan as they are looking for a mster planner, Bloom Properties”Real Estate Developer” as they are looking for a Senior Urban Planner, UPC is loking a Senior Associate Urban Planner in Al Ain, ATKINS is looking for a Senior Urban Planner for their regional office in…[Read more]

Thanks David,
I haven’t tried the I-CON nor ADM. I’v been in Abu Dhabi for only a week so I am still researching all opportunities, this was helpful.

Hello,
I have recently moved from United States to Abu Dhabi and am searching for landscape and urban design jobs in UAE. I am particularly interested in urban ecological planning, however, my work experience ranges form small scale garden design to urban master plans. I invite you to see examples of my work and would appreciate any employment…[Read more]

I wouldn’t advise on turning up in UAE and expecting to get a job, there are a lot of people who are out of work. Please send through your CV to me and I’ll keep you informed of vacancies in the region hayley@architectural-elite.com

Christopher- The thing that stood out the most is your resume. Move your education down towards the bottom- below everything other than maybe affiliations. With it on top, above professional experience, you are making it look like it is more important than your actual work.

Hello Agnes Sophia! The best for you is to come to the UAE and look at the spot. Though that there is a lot of available professionals at the market seems that previous UAE or ME experience is critical. Be focused and persistent and certainly you will find something sooner or later. Good luck!

Hello, like few other persons I joined this group beacause I’m interested in working at UAE and maybe here is someone who could help me to find a contact there, give any sugestions where I should look for, or could recommended to me any company etc.
Thanks a lot 🙂

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]

Mark, I wouldn’t hesitate to go back to your old employer to ask for more samples. That employer could be very understanding of the circumstances “out there” and want to help you. – Who knows, maybe he will have just gotten a big job and will need to hire you back!
Good luck

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]

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.

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]

I think you need a plugin that you have to pay for if you have 3DS Max 2010 but I have a student version of 2011 and that does come with the capability to open a .skp file.
