Does anyone have an opinion about the value of Dynascape for SketchUp – the plant library in particular?

Denis – try “From Concept to Form in Landscape Design” by Grant Reid. It’s a good starting point for what you’re talking about.

Hey Daniel – I have a quick (hopefully) question. I tried to create a shade structure, but I can’t seem to figure out how to control the direction the fabric is taking. On the attached SU file, I would like the fabric to have a downward curve (showing the gravity) and instead I have an upward curve. Is there a quick way of changing the curve……[Read more]

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]

anyone else had this problem in the UAE?

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!

John Pacyga posted an update in the group SketchUp 13 years, 9 months ago

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
