@mike amos said: I could not do otherwise and call myself a Trekkie, sound silly? No. It doesn't. @mike amos said: I believe that one day we human beings will through intelligent cooperation cease killing each other for our differences and will instead, help each other because of the things we all have in common. Amen to that.

Another thing to consider is that some plugin authors are going to add new features for SU 2016 and forward. This has to do with the change in security. Some unscrupulous individuals have been opening RBS files and taking code that doesn't belong to them. Trimble added a new encryption strategy to protect plugin authors IP. I'm pretty sure they realized their own sales potential over this. At least old versions of SU will still work with old versions of the plugins (minus enhancements and bug fixes).

My apologies for co-derailing this thread.

wow... ...wheres my camera?

white listed the site, so no problems there now... the message was just a script (thanks guys, nice and vague) was blocked. then the site was blocked from opening. and just found there's no log file to refer to. yay! digging to see if I can recreate avast's tantrum...

smartphones are online aren't they? plus it is hard to golf with a laptop in your pocket

@pixero said: I'm trying to export as fbx as I would like to export the camera as well. Is there something I need to do to get this right? Can I see camera data somewhere? Like position, angle and field of view. [image: BUCa_2015-11-06_13-07-40.png] Select the camera. Press N to bring up the Property panel. Under Transform and View you will see location and lens angle. Under the camera tab you can set focal lenght and sensor size etc.... [image: eiRQ_2015-11-06_13-10-17.png]

@jorgensen said: has anyone used oculus rift 'inside' sketchup while designing? i've seen a lot of topics 'export to unity', but is it possible to use oculus rift while using sketchup? maybe vorpx could do the job? jorgensen I have used it with some creative packages but not sketchup. I was lucky enough to try out 9-10 vendors at a work event before the crowds came in. Here is me in full motion (you walk around the room in real time) with Oculus and body tracking. Apparently you cant tether the headset over too far a distance so the whole setup needs to be on your back. TBH the weight really helps when you are walking around. Weird to see your hands and feet! Here is the article on the people who had that particular booth: http://www.wired.co.uk/news/archive/2015-10/19/visualise-vr-wired-2015 [image: t5lk_Capture.PNG]

You want one of these Mike! http://www.honeyflow.com.au/pages/how-flow-works

@frederik said: Cheers, Richard! I've found another solution... Interested in what you've found mate! I just started flicking through to find some stuff, as I've got to do something similar on two websites for subdivision sales. Mind you, there is tending to be a market shift in this, SALES! Sites for the most are culling the information they provide direct and opting for "the sales guy chat". A very successful sales guy reminded me recently "you aren't selling to them until you are talking to them".

no good for US either. Suspect our local environmental and labor laws will be overturned bit by bit.

Congratulations Mike! I am looking forward for Sunday (PL vs IRL)

That was it, amazing tool thanks

Yep, exactly what I thought. All the upper part hangs on those. Thank you.

I know there is a great deal of pressure for European countries and elsewhere to take in refugee's but we simply do not have the resources for our own citizens. Housing in the UK is in acute shortage already. It may not be PC but the United Nations was supposedly set up so this kind of problem would not happen and what has it achieved? Nothing. About time countries stood together and faced the likes of ISIS etc together so that each and every nation can be safe for ALL of their citizens. I know this sounds like hot air but it is not. I know what it is like for a lot of reasons and the Trekkie in me wants to get all these politicians in one room and smack their heads against a wall until they all get it.

@utiler said: You're right, Gareth. Seems Aussie coaches do best when they're coaching everywhere other than here..... Yeh mate....we are going backwards here !!

A sentiment I agree with 100%. It is past time we all accepted each other as having worth both collectively and singularly. Together, just what could we achieve? Or a better question, what could we NOT achieve?

Very cool!

@krisidious and pbacot yes it's for visuals for a development, industrial. @pbacot yes I have 3ds Max but know how to only do simple things in it and have no idea how to create things to the correct size. Originally I wanted to do this in Infraworks but everytime I brought in the shape files for roads, rails, and water areas the terrain was getting all screwy and I kept getting crashes. @solo I tested just exporting the terrain to LRT on draft and it only took a few minutes so hopefully when everything else is added it won't be too bad or maybe I'll just have to export it in pieces, I think the real issue will be rendering out an animation with superior lighting.

I do pretty much all my presentations live from SU using joinme (it's US$20.00 month). I looked at literally dozens of apps that say theuy do this but sometimes a paid app works a lot better. I find I can do little drawing changes on the fly which goes over eally well with clients - I haven't tried a camera path yet but it shouldn't be a problem.
