Re: How to protect a design

Thanks Fletch........ I expected that to be the case. When I used to do plans and shop drawings for contractors it was always on a title sheet that had a blurb on the bottoms claiming it's contents to be the property of JW Simons Company.

Re: cabinet distressing

Thanks Fletch, I thought that might be the answer. But I had to go for that "oh, it's simple just do this" trick. I appreciate your help so far. I'm an old Generic Cadd (now General Cadd) and thier forum and this one I have to say are the most responsive. I am really glad I went with you g...

Re: Animating SketchUp scenes

Just a quick re-post on rendering scenes. I believe most of my problem in not being able to render scenes came about in trying to render the project before I had saved it to a file. The program saw my request as my current view. Beginners mistake, that can maybe help the next guy..........Joe

Re: Animating SketchUp scenes

Thanks Fletch; I'll have to answer you in rather general terms as I have not yet learned terms and definitions of the world of 3 dimension and photo quality rendering, but man am I exited to learn! I own a commercial cabinet and millwork sales company. I have a great deal of experience in CAD, Corel...

Animating SketchUp scenes

I just downloaded both SketchUp 8, and TwilightRenderer. Most of it I am taking to quit quickly. But for the life of me I can't figure out how to render all of my scenes on my sketchup model. I have saved each layer as a scene, and need to turn it into a video, please help..........Joe
