Ah yes.

@unknownuser said: Registered users is another thing altogether. Of course they are, registered users or members. Compare these numbers too. I posted many SUp links on the blenderartists forum. And, the opposite. Why not? Many new tools implemented into blender recently, many SUp like tools I mean. I also posted many small tuts on workflows involving blender and Sup. How to decently and effectively import from Sup to blender, because the opposite isn't of great use. BTW the learning curve of blender is a long hard way. Compare it to Sup, it is a vast application, 20 times larger. What do you expect? The learning curve of SUp doesn't include tutorials on how to use a sophisticated render engine, right? Or how to sculpt on a 20 millions faces mesh, how to bake normal maps and displacements on a low poly mesh, how to do retopology, rigging, animating, instances, fluid simulations or cloth simulations. It also does not include a full operational UV editor (one of the best around) SUP learning curve includes lot of small tutorials on addons though, some of them not very well done. Out of topic then. To see ten times more visitors in one of the many blender forums (oh there are too many) should not surprise you. BTW, I learned a lot more about SUp in the blenderartists forum than here. I also learned how to use SUp as an assist to blender. The new collada importer, the support of n-gons, makes it quite easy now.

Thanks for the replies. Sometimes I feel like a beginner.

The next Frostbite engine in Mirror's Edge 2 and Battlefield 4 http://www.youtube.com/v/s97B97dIpDQ http://www.youtube.com/v/FHzhinTX1q4 I really like the light and shading in Mirror's Edge 2... i hope they will release an editor for the frostbite engine ...and last not least the new Unreal Engine 4 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dO2rM-l-vdQ

And I thought we had it bad here in West Central Wi. It was nothing compared to that.

Thanks for the link. I just saw that he was a fellow swede. Those environments look familiar.

$667. November delivery (or so the site says)

Quite expected it read "...and an engineer". BTW, they should add a like button, so we can like the post.

Art is hard to price... To me they are priceless... But I would say a good typical price would be $100.00 U.S. dollars for each. If they are indeed 14 inches wide. In Ebay auctions and sales of "buy now" products there should be one page per item. people consider normally that they are getting everything pictured for the given price. To me these are high quality originals should be priced accordingly... perhaps an auction would allow people to offer what they consider it being worth.

I'm not familiar with building practices in the UK, but based on your image I am guessing it's similar to the US. Generally, wood studs are pre-cut to a certain length - when combined with the bottom plate and two top plates, and then drywall installed, the desired 8' (or 9' or 10') ceiling height is achieved. Unless essential to whatever the wall finish is, typically the studs (verticals) are not placed symmetrically, and are spaced 16" or 24" on center from one end or the other, and extra framing for doors and windows added as needed (the standard 16" or 24" spacing is useful for determining location of the framing when the drywall is installed and the framing is hidden from view). The horizontal blocking would only be installed if needed for installing millwork (cabinets) or such. It's not clear what will happen with the chimney breast - will it be built in front of the wall? What's it made out of? Is the fireplace a pre-fab insert, or solid masonry? [image: wall-framing-diagram.jpg]

Cute!

Looks like the door heights are different. Large one is about 6" higher.

I hate self promotion. but the reason I designed: Cabinet Tools Plugin for SketchUp Component Cabinet Tools Plugin for SketchUp was because of my dissatisfaction with other programs. click on my plugins for more information Also have a look at my newBookShelf Tools which extends the use of Drawers and Doors not only to Bookshelves, but also to the Cabinet Tools Plugin cheers!

Always factual

@unknownuser said: Does anyone know when the iPhone 6 is coming out and what new features will it have? There been talks about super-sensitive screen, wireless charging, colors... finger print reader. But who knows, it always will be a blast for fans and others wonder why anything has changed in years (except a better display)

We have various manufacturer (elevators, lighting, windows, doors, flashing, etc.) always offering to come into the office and present a lunch-n-learn presentation, which usually offers 1-2 CEUs. We at least get a free lunch.

Hal is an inspiration! His eyesight is failing but his passion is growing! He thinks nothing of spending 2 years on a painting! Now that's passion! This is my favourite painting by Hal, [image: Hall's Trees Painting.jpg] I notice that he prices all his works at $98! I was wondering why this was so, then I realised that he is now 98 years young! I hope he continues to pixel paint and sells painting for $100, $101, $102 ....

Thanks for that link Carsten. I am trying to get my head around it. Granted, a cube is indeed a very practical envelope for enclosing volume but I don't think its ideal when it comes to Solar Houses. I notice that GizMag have an article of solar houses, Solar Decathlon 2013: Five solar houses to watch http://www.gizmag.com/solar-decathlon-2013/28275/ I've scanned through the 76 images and was a little disappointed as no planning details were shown only pretty renders One thing I did notice was that a lot of the designs showed PV panels propped on roofs and it looked to me that Sun orientation considerations where not being taken into account for the intended locations of these houses. Its a simple well know fact that PV and SWH panels perform best when they are orientated a right angles (on average) to the mid day sun.
