Hey Andrew. "gender confused bear? Confused I am

Hi Guys, I would recommend using millimeters rounded to tens like 5890, witch is actually 589 centimeters. There are many advantages to using millimeters for architectural drawings. 1 - no fractions or decimal commas ... 2 - it is easily recognizable and unmistakable wit another units 3 - I don't use any shortcut for units like mm, cm ... 4 - I use only one unit and that is mm. That makes thinks simple. I use millimeters for dimensioning and structural drawings and use meters for modeling in sketch up (too much needless zeros).

@escapeartist said: I have a better idea. How about we send every far right AR-15 gun-toting neo-con to Louisiana and send every far left socialist do-nothing there too, then build a wall around the state and forget about them so the rest of us can have a reasonable debate about the issues without having extreme ideologies pummeling us from both sides. Austrailia? i wonder where my blurbs fit in to the extremes scale.. left? right?.. fwiw, i pretty much hope to come across as the peanut gallery in these conversations (which i always seem to get into ) ..but from an internet argument pov, i think i take jabs at both sides.. but when i say things like 'i don't think there's a chance at a real solution', i do mean it (mostly).. even though the solution is pretty simple.. we're just sort of trained to think like "oh, that's too hard.. changing is too hard" an analogy would be along the lines of this automobile scenario.. (this applies to all of these conversations.. the money ones.. religion. politics.. etc..) punchline first maybe? your car has a flat tire.. you're sitting around complaining about this bumpy ride in the car thinking 'oh, it's bumpy.. i better change the shocks.. that's the solution.. " or- I'm getting crappy gas mileage.. "car's really need better [xxxxx]".. or "probably the air filter etc.." &- "gotta get the alignment fixed.. she's pulling to the right" the thing is, these aren't problems.. they are effects.. or sub-problems.. and you're not going to get a smooth ride with new shocks.. maybe a tiny bit smoother but that's it.. but fix the real problem and multiple issues suddenly disappear as well.. and you didn't even have to address the sub-problems to make them disappear.. gun control is nothing but a band-aid.. things may get a tad bit better but barely even noticeable because you haven't actually addressed and solved the real problem.. a couple of blurbs from Jiddu Krishnamurti: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vALRsIUUTHU those are the avenues we need to start going down.. realizing (much of) the world's crises are not actual problems.. they are effect.. the problems run deeper (or shallower if you will).. the 'radical revolution' is not one where we arm ourselves against the govt or throw a bunch of tea off a boat.. the revolution must occur inside us.. in our brains. the crisis is a crisis in consciousness humans (and i'm talking every last single one of us.. no matter how poor or oppressed or whatever) view ourselves as some sort of superior being.. we're so incredibly smart and light years beyond 2nd place.. but what are we comparing to? i mean yes, you're super duper intelligent... ..compared to a pig ...wow, that dog only knows how to shake hands and roll over and it took me 2 years to teach him that.. reality is (at least one version of reality) that we're nothing but cavemen.. we're so low on the smart scale it's not even funny.. an intelligent civilization may see our planet and say "cool.. those bees sure have things figured out" and look at us like some sort of cracked out warewolves that know how to send radio waves.. but we won't admit that to ourselves.. we'll even look at cavemen and think downwardly on them.. we're superior to them dumbasses.. but our actions-- they're more/less the exact same.. except the cavemen, i feel, are the superiors here because they needed those actions for survival.. if they weren't greedy and aggressive and violent etc we might not be here today.. but we no longer need those things for survival.. a difference i think humans may have compared to other earth species is that we have a consciousness.. and with that, we can continue to evolve our brains.. ..but what good is a consciousness if we don't use it to our (all of us) benefit? not much

Well that sure is an improvement Works great on my Galaxy 3 Thanks for the info Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 2

not sure, but it is beautiful

Bacon is surely best with a fried egg, cheese and a little malt vinegar in toasted wholemeal bread. Yum.

His "hidden French brother"! Very less known but very more prolific in m2!

Waterjet cutting is also a option with balsa wood. Edges will not be that exact if comparing to laser, but no charring http://www.wardjet.com/applications.html

I wonder did Marilyn clear it with WB first http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k4SLSlSmW74

Not to mention amortization of investment in physical equipment. Printers? Computers? Servers? You would not pile it all on one commission, obviously.

@steved said: Hey Jeff how did it go? pretty good.. there are two spots which didn't fully cure but they are tiny.. 1/4" x 1" strips on bare wood.. much better than the mess the first time around (24 joints-- failed cure 1/2" out in all directions leaving pliable fabric) i just wiped the area with acetone and put epoxy there instead.. all in all -- a bit of a nightmare but it's good now..

what a ...

Just to negate any confusion Csaba was referring to how rubbish the video server was with the link I originally posted (and it was so bad!) so I found a link that works and replaced that initial link.

@d12dozr said: Nice! I'd love to hear about your experience with it after you've had it for a while...about printer setup, performance, etc. ...and see some photos too! Yeah no problem. Not the printer I want ideally but good enough for the basic stuff. I should be able to get enough work through it to raise enough money to purchase a more expensive one later down the line. When it gets delivered I will be sure to post some images on here.

@dave r said: DOD3R, I'm curious about something related to your post. Tutorial videos take time and, as you say, time is money. Would you be willing to pay for those tutorial videos? I am very well aware that tutorials = time = money. I am sorry a did'nt write it well previously, but I wanted to say that who would benefit most from these tutorials is trimble and they should produce and may be pay for them. Why I should not pay for them. I think there is a really little audience for these videos and even less would pay for them it would be really bad bussines. Why sould trimble pay for them or at least give bigg support for it? Because there are lot of tutorials how to make circle and puspull it. or lot tutorials for chair or whatever. And that is why lot of people thinks sketch up is NOT real deal. And opposite is true Trimble wants to sketchuppers to make houses to build and want them to by build by trimble products. Another way Trimble can look at it is. This is the cutting edge of sketch up usage for architecture. I think really small precentage of sketch up users can really even understand Nicks tutorials. Trimble as a devoloper of a program needs some people to use it on its limits so the can find them and push them little further. And even another way to look at it is that I belive we can help each other improve our workflows and I hope that even Nick learn something from us by sharing his workflow. Fun fact. I did'nt learn much new things ( maybe 2)from Nick tutorials I was aware of every feature he uses, but I never put it together this way. We need more tutorials witch explains how to use sketch up, but instead we have a lot of tutorials about how sketch up works. @unknownuser said: I've actually been giving a lot of thought to this lately. One major aspect of SU & LO that is so remarkable, is how it is so easy to customize a work flow. I've developed one that works really well for me, but certainly may not for others. In what I've discovered, there are certainly some practices that are more efficient than others, yet I will fall back to a process that is more familiar to my given process. I would love to document this in the Rey near future down to the detail that DOD3R mentions. I'm getting pretty swamped with work in the new year, and want to schedule some serious time on opening up LO further. All I hear in the back of my head, is Paul Lee, yelling CAD MUST DIE! This will be a big year for SU & LO in my opinion. I'll try my best to help. Yes! great. PS: Sorry for my english is bad obviously, but I hope it make sense. I would like to qoute: “Write drunk; edit sober.” ― Ernest Hemingway I will work on part to nex time

@unknownuser said: After a couple of days he mastered Blender The video is beautiful and clever enough. The guy is great, but not that great. I very well know what I'm talking about. But, it's possible, after a few months. After a few years, I'm still learning blender. (some parts of it) Reasonable enough. Consider what this app tries to become. Here, I repost from blenderartists.org @unknownuser said: You can do augmented reality with any software capable of export to the COLLADA file format, including Blender. It is basically a library that reads 3d information from this file and displays it when your webcam or mobile cam focus on a pre-determined pattern. The 3D software is used only to create the models and the animations; all the other stuff needed to create the Augmented reality is done in another software, and by now there's several different products that can do this. In the company I work we've done a few of this applications, mainly for Fairs and Exhibitions. I only manage the 3D part of the process, but I know that our partner has used an Adobe Flash library to create them. I cannot give you a more advanced explanation of how it works (mainly 'cause I don't how to do it in english hehe), but here's a link you can see to get a grip on it. http://active.tutsplus.com/tutorials...ented-reality/ Hope it helps

Hi Steved, thanks for your answer. Saddly I think here in my country have only two RepRap and one are mine and my associated. The Owners of the other one, they are give me support, but the things change so fast that the web pages in some cases are outdated and componentes are different. Regards

Happy holidays, Merry Christmas and a great New Year to everyone!
