@olishea - his name is Bob!! Seriously though - that guy is truly awe inspiring - you should look into his other videos to see some of the stuff he has done - and he is so self depricating in his talks. He may have no arms and legs but he beats the sh1t out of most humans I have met in my life!

Hi Mike, you were right, I found a good link for me ,-) http://lapasiongriega.blogspot.com/2010/05/parrhesia.html maybe there can be a fraternal solution after all And_ a good Link for you all, mainly the French http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V7fnJCmbuPU

to me. . .they don't really count as TRUE napkin sketches unless they have pizza grease and coke stains on them . ..

Yeah, maybe you are right, guys. I use labs as well as gears and sometimes cannot even remember what is native and what is some extra (like with SU)

Hi folks. If you want to make the cursor larger because you have difficulty seeing it, may I suggest going to "Preferences --> Drawing" and enable "crosshairs". Then, the cursor will be difficult to miss. Just ideas.

Off topic? I thought I invented off topic. No worries, I enjoy the diversions. John in reply to: @unknownuser said: I think they may have had some ridiculous acceptance issues that have since been revised so the models would have be re-reviewed, but he's taken them down. There is actually 3 Hull area GE models. The KC, linea's model and a model of the Humber Bridge... John I think you are right on the acceptance issues, I will try reloading some from a couple of years ago, I'll mention it in this thread when I've done it and report back on how long, if at all, it takes. 2 years ago I rather naively launched into a big GE project, had to refund the client and that left me substantially out of pocket but that is a whole other story... Xrok, got to dash off to work now but will send you a pm with some info later.

Here are a couple of renders of a project im doing for design class. Im really more of an NPR kind of guy, and traditional style medias. But doing this stuff has been fun. Keep in mind that I only seriously dove into sketchup with this project, about 6 weeks ago, although I have had it on my comp for a year or more. And this is the first time I have done renderings...oh the precious lighting. Im still not completely satisfied, but all my instructors are in the stoneage and this stuff is beyond them, so I will likely get a B just because they dont know how to grade it (cause it wasnt done with markers and pencils) Oh well Any comments are welcomed.

ok, possible solution.......seems to be working so far...... IE8>tools>pop-up blocker> add google & maps.google Glenn

Not really - where I work they have it and I tried hard to get use to but no way! To slow and uncomfortable and has a lot of tools that I don't need. Rhino has much better tools for work with curves and huge import-export options!

PS your first guy has a more great galerie here! More than 20 pages of Sketchup delirium More complete than the "Diaporama"

Greetings from Mockba. All is good. Saw the Kremlin and Red Square. Then it's on to St Pete tomorrow. Then on to Paris. Great reunion with my Son. Having a blast. NO ash residue. Talk to you guys when I get back. David H

tomot, Who are these people you quote? If you made money off GS, or had investment from them, you'd think GS served a purpose. Also somebody knowledgeable & in power thought GS served a purpose, and, moreover, was "too big to fail". Defining what that means and the solution (like the break-up of these too-big banks) seems to be the issue. Didn't they pay back the money taxpayers gave them? Just playing devil's advocate (but never GS advocate). We were just considering moving our accounts from Wells Fargo to a local bank as a gesture. Thinking about how we start with small banks then all our accounts, credit cards, and mortgages etc. get taken over eventually by a couple big banks (currently Chase & WFB). Then we'll break up these big banks . Eventually they'll buy each other out and consolidate again, just like when they broke up Standard Oil and AT&T. Is it just cyclical? Regards, Peter
