OK, clear thing: You buy my software and I'm buying you. Funny Much fun in the GPF, but here's more what is called "community life" azuby

Love it.

After much soul-searching I have decided to begin my modelling career as a professional "before" model. My impressive girth as well as my photoshop skills (for the after shots) will add credence to your most outrageous claims. Dave

Me too Coen, the name sounds familiar but didn't know till i saw the newspaper with an articel.

Hi All. I'm pretty new here, just started frequenting the old ruby forum a few months ago. I haven't been using Sketchup that long, but I really love it. So someone please give me some deeper background. Judging by the reaction, it seems like there is much more to this than just Google deciding to move the forum over to their standard product. It's probably a long story, but if someone's up to telling it, I'm up to reading about it. CB.

Yep, all looks fantastic and the icons do look pretty sexy! It was a big surprise for me after not really being around the SU forums for the last few months to see the news about the Google Groups this morning. Big thanks to Coen for taking this on and carrying on the essence of what was the SU Pro Forums.

Looks more like "Popular Woodworking" to me

thanks Coen, have spoken to my computer supplier and they said that there aren't updates to the driver i have...... I might stay away from the modded drivers if they could cause issues!!!! Cheers, Andrew

I also am looking at other options for all of us to. I am sure we can make all of this work. It will just take some time.

Glad my Av caught that before any damage was done! It does look like the site was taken down too. I was just worrying that it had somehow infected my website! Crazy world with alot of screwed up people doing things like this. Thanks for reassuring me you two!

yes, i browsed the forum a bit, and it is nice, and there is lot of nice work around, so I will have something to look at for a while:-) Cheers

Get more organized and read some of the books I bought in 2007.

Funny! Reminds me of when I lived on a farm and had to teach a calf to eat solid food(for real). I used to look after the cat of a friend of a friend, and it required a pill with it's meal. After listening to her instructions on how to give the cat it's pills (for kidney ailment, so it was important cat got it) in which it frequently spit it out, I opted to crush the pill between two spoons and mix it in the food. Problem solved. Seems logiocal to me, but I keep encountering people who go through the difficult task of trying to cram it down the cat's throat. Cheese works good for dogs' pills too, if you don't have bacon handy.

When modeling, it is usually at the design development phase (of architecture) and although i may not think in those specific terms, the thought process is there: is the building's composition of elements in balance, are the materials (colors) used appropriately. When setting up a scene for exporting an image, I follow the same guidelines of composition I learned when everything was done by hand.

Congratulations, Tina! You're looking at some REAL enjoyable times ahead. I know, I'm a grandfather.

one of the good points of my 2007 was meeting you guys and becoming an active member of this community. may we be as helpful and friendly to each other as we have been so far. i wish you all a great 2008.
