I wish everyone, wherever they may be, all they need from 2016. Health and happiness to you all.

Clever, very clever rather irrelevant though.

Ok, thanks for the infos and lets hope he will succeed.

@boofredlay said: 8-) Nice work and I really like the Christmas tree on the right. I have a star like that... maybe I make one for real. Thank you, it was a RAM hungry scene because of all the displacement but it turned out well That Christmas tree is cool, right?!

Well done Rich , Mike and the team, I learned everything I know about Sketchup from Sketchucation. It is good to see it get the recognition it deserves.

Thanks Stinkie.

I see some zoning laws being flaunted there, not sure if the position is the same abroad as locally... but as an exhibition piece it is really great! have.to.resist.hitting.replay

Quite likely, and the potential for anything to be done about it is approximately diddly squat. Our politicians hate to have to make a decision that puts them on the spot so will dither as usual and people will continue to die for no good reason. FCOL, our politicians cannot even prevent incompetent surgeons from operating with standards that should shame the surgeons themselves into retirement. What politicians ARE good for is sitting on the sidelines and patting each others reputation on the back like the good ol' boys they truly are, nothing changes nor will it ever.

@mike amos said: I could not do otherwise and call myself a Trekkie, sound silly? No. It doesn't. @mike amos said: I believe that one day we human beings will through intelligent cooperation cease killing each other for our differences and will instead, help each other because of the things we all have in common. Amen to that.

Another thing to consider is that some plugin authors are going to add new features for SU 2016 and forward. This has to do with the change in security. Some unscrupulous individuals have been opening RBS files and taking code that doesn't belong to them. Trimble added a new encryption strategy to protect plugin authors IP. I'm pretty sure they realized their own sales potential over this. At least old versions of SU will still work with old versions of the plugins (minus enhancements and bug fixes).

My apologies for co-derailing this thread.

wow... ...wheres my camera?

white listed the site, so no problems there now... the message was just a script (thanks guys, nice and vague) was blocked. then the site was blocked from opening. and just found there's no log file to refer to. yay! digging to see if I can recreate avast's tantrum...

smartphones are online aren't they? plus it is hard to golf with a laptop in your pocket

@pixero said: I'm trying to export as fbx as I would like to export the camera as well. Is there something I need to do to get this right? Can I see camera data somewhere? Like position, angle and field of view. [image: BUCa_2015-11-06_13-07-40.png] Select the camera. Press N to bring up the Property panel. Under Transform and View you will see location and lens angle. Under the camera tab you can set focal lenght and sensor size etc.... [image: eiRQ_2015-11-06_13-10-17.png]

@jorgensen said: has anyone used oculus rift 'inside' sketchup while designing? i've seen a lot of topics 'export to unity', but is it possible to use oculus rift while using sketchup? maybe vorpx could do the job? jorgensen I have used it with some creative packages but not sketchup. I was lucky enough to try out 9-10 vendors at a work event before the crowds came in. Here is me in full motion (you walk around the room in real time) with Oculus and body tracking. Apparently you cant tether the headset over too far a distance so the whole setup needs to be on your back. TBH the weight really helps when you are walking around. Weird to see your hands and feet! Here is the article on the people who had that particular booth: http://www.wired.co.uk/news/archive/2015-10/19/visualise-vr-wired-2015 [image: t5lk_Capture.PNG]

You want one of these Mike! http://www.honeyflow.com.au/pages/how-flow-works

@frederik said: Cheers, Richard! I've found another solution... Interested in what you've found mate! I just started flicking through to find some stuff, as I've got to do something similar on two websites for subdivision sales. Mind you, there is tending to be a market shift in this, SALES! Sites for the most are culling the information they provide direct and opting for "the sales guy chat". A very successful sales guy reminded me recently "you aren't selling to them until you are talking to them".

no good for US either. Suspect our local environmental and labor laws will be overturned bit by bit.
