I am having issues with an aerial view of a site I’m trying to create a fly through for.  When I position the camera, some of the area is obstructed like there is a plane in from of part of the view.  Any suggestions?

Hey John,
Your blog looks great!  We’ve added it to our blog roll.  Keep up the good work…

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!

Do you have a topic to contribute to the SketchUp Land blog shown above or a pressing question you would like answered? Let me know!

hello guys…
 
glad to join the group.

Just an FYI to all – You may want to start re-thinking the way your base material is laid down for any permeable pavement systems that you are installing. I have been involved in helping my company create a new limestone/aggregate product line that addresses permeable pavement systems. The product is designed to maximize the porosity of the base…[Read more]

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

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]

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

Does anyone know what is the lights used on the palm outside Dubai Mall?
Thank you

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.
