Great presentation Tammy! That was super cool to see Canvas being used on the Queer Eye project, I didn’t know what that had turned into design-wise 
Not a question.
During the presentation you touched upon smoothening/softening intense geometry on the bicycle.
I usually go to the group with the heavy geometry switch the model to wire frame mode, select all and just hide it .
Not sure if this is a good way to go about it and if this affects the size of the file.
@avani.m.shah, the great thing about smoothing the edges is that SketchUp then allows you to click on a single “face” that wraps the whole way around. If I were to hide the edges SketchUp would still treat them as separate faces.
Ahh! That’s a very good point ! Thanks !
Interior design is a lot about choices of material. Do you struggle to get colors and textures to do a good job of representing your choices, and what have you done to solve that?
Edit: Sorry, I realize that could be a huge question to answer.
@RTCool That’s ok! It’s a good question.
I always try to manage client expectations ahead of time when it comes to colors and textures. I let them know that we will try to get it as close to the actual design as possible, but adding textures and colors to a model is to get a general idea and feel for the space, not to show them exactly what it will look like. This is especially true with paint colors. In the real space, the color will show differently from wall to wall, room to room, so it’s nearly impossible to get an exact representation on the screen (which also varies from screen to screen). So again, letting them know the purpose of the 3D model ahead of time, and then using actual swatches and samples on site is vital.
Another great Fireside Chat episode!
Great job Tammy 
Yes, great presentation. Thank you so much.
Many thanks Tammy. Learned a lot and got lots of great tips on Layout and Rendering. All the best, Steve
