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.

Thanks Guys 🙂
@ John,  its an iron fence from 3D warehouse, so not too many segments to it.
@ Daniel, hi ya!   Yes, I did some what follow the book and downloaded the Path copy, but it did not work at all after several tries…..hmmm maybe I did not do it right cause it clump them together, but not on the arc.  I will email you.
 
thanks guys! 

Fences can be a material (an image applied to a curved surface in your case) or a component which would have segments.  I am not sure which is best for your project.  You may consider extruding your curved shape as a volume, then deleting everything but the wall in order to place the fence material on a curved surface.  The fencing materials ar…[Read more]

Hi,  I am trying to figure out how to apply a fence along an arc path, but cannot for the life of me find anything on it. I tried googling it and looked in the site design book, but nothing. the rotating tool does not work great for an arc line, I don’t think.  Its like I have to bend the fence to fit it along the arc, but do not know how…..help!
thanks

Curly,
 
The LATC has it’s own standards on eligibility to take the exam. You can get info off their web site.
 
The webinars are recorded. I think if you register as a pro member thru Land 8 you can view the webinar content at your leisure. Check with Andrew Spiering (the founder of the site) on procedures.

Hi. Just joined the discussion and the section D seminar.
(1) How do I check out the 1st part of section D that I missed 6 hours ago?
(2) I’ve passed sections A and B.  B on the first try and A on the second.  I was able to take them because I received an AA in Landscape Architecture from Truckee Meadows Community College in Reno, NV in ’09.  …[Read more]

Hi all, 
 
I am retaking Section B in March and trying to focus on my weaknesses which from the diagnostic feedback seem to be the Inventory and Analysis Sections.
Would anyone have any recommendations of certain chapters to read through? (That would pertain to Inventory and Analysis) I have all the reference books for B.  I am afraid I will st…[Read more]

Please use the group forum to post questions, discussion topics, and to setup study groups, etc.
 
Thanks!

I like it a lot.  It takes you through the entire process.  the analysis, programming for the different types of designs, sustainability, grading, infrastructure, and restoring and preserving landscapes.
I’m glad I bought it, for the test and for after.

Jeffrey,
What do you think of the Russ Book?

Thanks Ray.  I am reading that book right now.  I also have Site Planning and Design Handbook by Thomas Russ

Site Analysis by James LaGro is an excellent book for B. Also, review the ASLA Code of Environmental Ethics.

Who has passed Sec. B, and what is your strategy?

I’m setting this discussion group up as an information exchange resource for people sitting for the exam. Perhaps it will be helpful in de-mystifying these sections for the users.
You can perhaps also use it to set up a long distance study group, find people local to you with whom to study, and ask questions of people knowledgeable about the…[Read more]

That’s great. Thank you! I’ve got your book, but I couldn’t find that one in there, shame on me if it was there..too tired! Thanks again.

Yes that was it!!! it works. Too bad there is no list of all these shortcuts, that would help a LOT. Thank you so much.

Not a bad question to ask at all.  The easiest way is to select an item with the black arrow key [or hit spacebar]. Then click the Move tool which has arrows in all directions and can be found in the Large Tool Set or the Getting Started Toolbar [or hit M on the keyboard].  After the item is highlighted and you have the Move tool selected, hol…[Read more]

Hi. I know it might sound stupid, but I still couldn’t figure out how you drag a copy in SketchUp. I can’t find any Move/Copy tool. 🙁 Hope someone can help.
Thanks.

Thanks for the help.

Does the area obstructed show up in the image after capturing? I have had it look like it was clipped, and then after saving the view for the animation it worked.
