What is the grade and the largest amount of water you are dealing with? The planter needs to be designed to handle whatever nature throws at you.  You can retrofit the drain like Chris said to become the overflow at the down end of your planter. If you have a lot of slope, check dams can hold the water and pool it to infiltrate fully. Then the…[Read more]

Are you talking about installing a planter over a storm inlet, or a storm line? 

We are designing stormwater bioretention planters for a downtown.  We want to place a planter where a storm drain currently exists.  Can a planter be designed over a storm drain and be an effective bioretention measure — i.e. slowing down rainwater but not completely infiltrating?  Appreciate any input.

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.

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

John, thanks for sharing.  Do you have any site photos, from these projects, that you’re able to post here?

If anybody here has done any public work involving raingardens in Florida let me know! Since I have been working for my firm here in Tampa we have completed 4 to 5 significant “raingarden” type projects; one of them being a LAP FDOT streetscape for Tarpon Springs. Public work involving stormwater management in a creative way is far and few…[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.

Magdo – tak, z tego, co się orientuję, to system nawadniania na terenie publicznych we Wrocławiu i w powiecie nie powinien wymagać uzgodnienia ZUDP. Nie wiem jak jest poza naszym powiatem… Wiem, że różnie się to interpretuje (tak jak niestety większość przepisów).
Pomysł z podstroną dobrych praktyk – bdb! Podtrzymuję 🙂

Dominiko – w przypadku instalacji wewnętrznych masz racje – my projektujemy jedynie tereny publiczne i z tym jest problem. Systemy nawadniania (tak jak pisałam poniżej) sa też uznawane jako melioracje szczegółowe a takowe (zgodnie z prawem geodezyjnym, wodnym i budowlanym) nie wymagaja uzgodnienia ZUDP. Rozumiem, ze we Wrocławiu system nawadn…[Read more]

Wszytsckie instalacje (w tym nawadniające działkę) znajdujące się na działce inwestora (a nie poza jej granicami!!!), nie na działkach “państwowych” nie wymagają uzgodnień ZUDP zgodnie z prawem geodezyjnym i kartograficznym. Jednak urzędy czasami wymagają takiego uzgodnienia, bo “po swojemu” interpretują obowiązujące przepisy.
Jeżel…[Read more]

Dziękuję Dominiko- u nas tez projektują osoby z uprawnieniami. Interesuje mnie to, czy w Waszej praktyce wymagane było uzyskanie uzgodnienia ZUD dla systemu nawadniania (bez przyłącza wodociągowego i zasilania elektrycznego)
