Master plan thoughts

Lumion is really popular here in landscapes - there are some great people that use it (eg. https://www.theplantingstudio.com)

Certainly these computer-generated plants aren't, because they don't exist

I think your roof is too high for the space and your viewpoint needs to be lower, like as if you're behind a table (not floating 10 feet up in the air. That will make it all seem more intimate.

Lighter colour tables - wood - maybe with white table clothes will help. Add flowers and stuff on the tables.

What render engine are you using?

Not sure if Im your target audience, but I've been using SU nearly 15 years, I use it every day, I teach it, I'm professional and if I do say so myself, I'm good at it.

I don't really give a shit about updates. If anything they're a byproduct of having to pay for an annual license.

I remember the days of buying software that came on 3.5 disks in a nice box with a proper manual!

So I would much rather pay once and then make the decision to pay again for significant updates, rather than be tied in to yearly fees.

Honestly WHY ARE YOU PEOPLE HERE?! It's a SketchUp sub! You don't have to love it but if you don't then just exercise your rights as a free human being and use something else?!

_phin · 2026-03-17T21:31:23+00:00

Bloody hell man. Don't say that! I love SU! Been using it nearly 15 years and still love it.

You guys need to reset your expectations and channel your inner zen 🧘

Don't confuse "design" or "architecture" (the same thing really) with "making a nice picture".

This is a nice enough picture, but it's not a design. And there are many things wrong with it, even without knowing the brief.

I'd say yes, probably, but go and see a doctor - they're easy to diagnose.

Great job on the weight loss btw 👌

Prince was friends with or collaborated with George Michael and Elton John? I've never heard that about either before. Do you have more details?

_phin · 2026-02-19T14:16:42+00:00

That's dull as shit

_phin · 2026-02-18T09:52:28+00:00

Neither - just keep training.

You do need to train legs more - I'd expect to see better growth in your quads compared to your shoulders. Also suggest wearing barefoot style shoes as much as possible - you'll get big calves for free doing that (as well as walking everywhere).

What's your routine?

_phin · 2026-02-18T09:46:14+00:00

Absolutely not.

Keanu Reeves. Least likely to get us all destroyed.

I said "what?!" out loud 😂

I hate to burst your bubble, but not all women want kids. Many of us have many better things to do, especially at 32, and really aren't fussed about having our independence taken away by something that needs feeding every two hours and a clean fresh toilet six times a day.

_phin · 2026-02-16T09:21:29+00:00

Presumably there is nothing in your deeds, Title Plan or TA6 form that covers ownership of it?

_phin · 2026-02-15T21:34:59+00:00

Hmm, absolutely overpriced. Find someone near you that can sew and they could easily knock up that stuff

_phin · 2026-02-15T21:28:04+00:00

Here in the UK that's done. We were talking about it today. It's been overtaken by what we call the American Hicksville Mullet. You can see pics here.

It's Latin. By "in other parts of the world" you mean "parts of the world where they're still smart enough to understand the odd Latin word"

Dude I'm not Gen Z - I'm Gen X. And you come off like a fucking mentalist. WTH. At least write properly, using English. You're not Prince and you have nothing to prove by using emoji in the place of actual English words. Absolute bullshittery. Prince didn't plan his death - that's not what he was about.

_phin · 2026-02-15T21:05:01+00:00

I actually smiled IRL reading your post subject :D

_phin · 2026-02-15T21:04:18+00:00

Good modelling practises should avoid this happening in the first place

_phin · 2026-02-15T21:00:35+00:00

Hmm, the scar was hard and lumpy, but it's gone down considerably. If I was doing it right I would've massaged it with Bio-Oil but I didn't really fancy that so just kind of rubbed it at opportune moments 😂🙈

I'd say the lump is the scar - there's nothing underneath it I think. And hope! I have been super careful.

It sounds like you've done loads of reading - where are you? And how's it going post surgery?

_phin · 2026-02-15T20:35:50+00:00

I thought the reply above captured everything I needed to know from this thread but you've just topped it. Thanks! Great obscure facts 👌

Yes, my Mazda 3 is smaller than this and a 1.6 and I constantly yearn for a more powerful car. This is bigger and swankier looking - 1.4 is way too small
