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]

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?

Canberra is nice, a good place to live and the UC is a good school too. Canberra also has an awesome setting, really doesn’t have a city feel to it not many tall buildings, lots of trees and natural landscapes all around. Its close to Sydney too and a short flight away from Melbourne. In terms of the uni courses in aus, I know quite a few people…[Read more]

I believe the Univ. NSW masters program is not…[Read more]

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.

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 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.
