Met the developer today - great guy. A back-woods, country-boy, for sure. He's gonna do some dirt work for me and put in a couple 12" dia culvert pipes, side-by-side, so I can drive to the back of my property. No land fill. Maybe some cow pies though.

Getting Older and Busier. Good combination. The very best to you. John

Well I had the pleasure of meeting Mr.C at BaseCamp so it's no surprise that he's slow off the mark He mightn't even read our replies Only kidding John. Hope all the family is well. Good to see you still float around.

First thing I though of when I saw this was the movie "Little Shop of Horrors" I can just hear a little voice from the plant saying "feed me"

@mitcorb said: the fact that the brick layer was still mostly intact as one plane on the ground told me that the dumbass who installed it did not use brick ties of any sort. yeah, but, at least he saved a $ coupla_hundred

Yes, it may have been posted somewhere else first, but at least YOU had a video, not just a picture. Cheers,

I guess your title was better http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=179&t=36915

I like that idea. I also have about two dozen plugins installed but don't use all of them every day. Cheers,

nice find.. it gave me a lot of ideas

That was a great documentary. Just an amazing individual. Seeing the different phases of his story was eye opening. I didn't really expect it to go back through him acting out the original attack. Great photos. Amazing how the mind works. On the one hand it was a horrifying attack and on the other it set him free of his alcoholism and causes him to create this more articulate outlet for his creativity which likely would have never been seen otherwise. Very cool. Not sure about the high heels though.

thanks for your comments and offers to help guys, much appreciated. I actually re-sized them and reduced resolution enough so that i still have imagery at close-up. I bought them into SU as 11-12Mb images, exploded and grouped [so i can amend transparency] and realized that each image matched perfectly with the next once scaled!! How cool is that! SU file is about 70Mb now so it'll be interesting to see how Layout handles it....

...and now a mini 3D printed version you can order for yourself! YouTube - Animarus Geneticus Parvus running on a string

Thank you all for your perspectives. Another architect has offered services at 10% of cost. Will have to pay him a visit to see what services he offers as he is an individual, the p.s.f architect offers a wide variety of things including full project management. We'll need to balance cost vs. benefit and services required.

Just enable the wire view!

The man made dogma is not the same as religion. The religion answers our deepest need for the meaning. We can not go back to heaven, when we were just animals not knowing about the tree...but the one can try - drinking beer, not thinking about any thing, simply existing...until not...I don't think it would work, because there is a fear...BU!

We did toy with this idea at FormFonts; but in the end we rejected it. We even went as far as to write some custom scripts to produce thumbspins (as we called them). One script physically rotated the model, rather than orbiting it...so you didn't have to pass through the shadow side. Another script panned around a central point, for large area models. The thing to realise is that it's not a one-size-fits-all solution. It's great for certain models (upright or fairly compact) but not suitable for a great many others. For instance, we get many requests to model sofas. Not only are sofas generally even longer than the garden bench example of Al's...so you lose even more of the ends, or zoom out so far you can't see anything...but they are only remotely interesting in a 90* cone of visibility around the front. The other 270* is as boring as hell...especially right around the back. Trucks, buses and lengthy wall units etc fall into the same category. The vehicles are OK all around, but the ends spin past like the business end of a centrifuge.

At least punching yourself in the face won't hurt as much
