  • thanks, i study geology and its really handy for some of my presentations. Ty so much.

  • @aardappelpitsap - cool. ;)

  • I imported 3DS files to google sketchup, but i can't do much with them. The only thing I maneged to do with them was to scale it. What should i do?

  • @5dkuriboh hmmm... any chance to ungroup it? check out the right-mouse-button-menu ... not sure if its possible at all.

  • PLEASE LOOK AT THIS COMMENT: message me if you know how to create spheres and stuff that is round on this version of Google sketch-up. So far i can only create box type figures pyramids and cylinders,stuff like that. I'm trying to build a space craft on Google sketch up i see videos on YouTube were the body of the space craft is round well ho w do i get mine to look like that.Bottom point how do i make a sphere on this version of sketch up or can you not? Thanks.

  • @Kdark7 - hi, you can define of how many segments a curve is made of. draw a circle and rise the number of segments (activate the curve and check the window: element information ). than use the follow-me-tool on the circle to create a sphere... unfortunately you will have a lot of vectorpoints now... there are rubyscripts for smoothing as well... depends on what you want to do exactly, knomseng?

  • @Kdark7 I solved this by make a shpere in winges and then exporting it as a 3DS file and then import it to sketchup. You can use other programs then wings to make sphere, it should work as long as you can import it to sketchup.

  • @techboxface the reason that it is not filled is that a) it may not be flat b) it may not be complete c) it may be crossing another line

    Hope that helped!

  • your fps is horrible 

  • how do you fill in the area of a shape when the shape only has its outline and no fill- paint bucket not working on it

  • Thanks Andre. Nice beginning lesson. :)

    

  • This guy sounds like "Kurt Wagner" from X-men.
