Hi Susan, Have a look at this link, http://www.thecadacademy.com/arch_solutions.asp I think it covers the information you are after. Mike PS: Thanks for the Card

I was wondering where AndyPandy was. Glad to have you back.

@unknownuser said: I see the solution as just tweaking the program to show what needs to be on paper Revit is defiantly a good program if it is that versatile, and you dont have to be a Computer Science Guru to make it work dependably.

Lewis, I take it that you are not fond of AutoDesk? Just a guess... BTW, I have no association or ties to AD.

Tom, you really should post this in the Gallery when you are finished tweaking it. It really is a nice model.

@maggy said: Strange website, loads perfectly in MSIE but as HTML source in Firefox. Even more weird that if I save the html source in a note pad and then load it in FF, it loads well (except for the external elements like css and images etc.). I haven't seen anything like this before - and it does the same in Opera and Netscape, too. Maybe an MS-devoted server setting?!

Hi Jon, pull up a deck chair and catch some sun!

arghhh....argghhh...arrgggghhhh

Maybe for the left handed...

How did you get to looking like that? Was it all the milk fed veal and cauliflower?

I thought Sagittarians were like that all the time

Thanks. I'll have a go.

Thx Guite.

I've done a quick search and located some tree-house links. My favourite is this, http://tropical-treehouse.com/pics.html There is a great story behind the tree-house AND would you believe there is a SketchUp connection. The tree-house, 'The Sunset Hooch' (great name !) was designed using SU and there is a model of the 10' x 10' version on 3D Warehouse. I show a picture of Bamboojo's (another great name) model in my composite. Here is the link to the model at 3D Warehouse, http://sketchup.google.com/3dwarehouse/details?mid=25d1efd7d0cd4c0938da1400868ffbd9 I like this design style over the 'traditional' tree-house as we have come to thing of them. This type of design is obviously well suited / tested for its intended environment and it appears to have a low impact on the forrest, I hope There is just enough room for a few people to eat, sleep and feel secure. I know, I know we are only talking about virtual tree-houses but I feel we should be looking at designs that would if, ever constructed, not harm the rain forrest.

I'm biking about 20K 3 or 4 times a week currently... I'd like to get out more! Next summer WilliamT and I are contemplating riding from Calgary to Vancouver! I think that would be a pretty epic ride to take!

Mike, "No matter what career your kids head towards they will no doubt need computer skills. It seems that computers are becoming part of everyday life." Absolutely- in fact I was gobsmacked a few months ago when I discovered that my girlfriend is a total whiz at graphic layouts, presentation and animations in Powerpoint- a program I have yet to master. I thought her computer skills would be soley scientific in nature- statistical analysis, spreadsheets and word processing; I had no idea that her graphic presentations were so advanced for presenting findings- I was blown away with her graphic and animation work.

Happy Birthday James.
