Thank you very much for the link. With best regards PRSS

Sorted, thanks.

there is no any blue faces in monochrome mode! [image: accutrans.jpg] [image: lightwave.jpg]

It sounds like the lines arent intersecting with the floor, although i could be wrong. To fix this, select all the lines, right click->intersect->with model. If that doesnt work could you psot a pic of the problem? it can be useful in sorting this sort of thing out

I´ve had that issue on a macbook. No need to disable hardware acceleration, which makes things slooooow. Just disable fast feedback and your problem should disappear. cheers s

i love the look of the second one. very nice pav

I've got the latest drivers considered stable with my hardware and OS... I changed the fast feedback setting, at it helped immensely... it's at least usable now! Thanks!

Is there a limit on how big SU can export (on any computer) then? Because surely as a 32 bit app it can only address a small bit of memory?

Yes, as Jacob says, the trick is to do a cut and then group, then cut within group. Takes several steps to do this. I think a ruby script could perhaps be done: cut section specify depth of section via vcb or picking, done!

Have you ever tried to uninstall and clean all files dedicated to SU and reinstall? Also if you are not using the latest version, maybe updating helps. If you can not fix it, go on windows version.

Import image to be projected (or apply the texture you want to project on to a flat surface.) Explode the image (if imported), right click it->texture->projected. Select the paint bucket tool, hold the alt key (changes it to a sampling tool) sample the texture and apply it to your curved face.

You could also try turning on hidden geometry and then painting the faces with the same texture, but rotated around. This would keep the irregular geometry of the bowl, as well.

Hi folks. I dont see this behavior of "Follow me" as a bug. This is to be expected since, when "Follow me" goes from one segment to the next, it must rotate the profile as it goes. If the direction change imply a rotation around only one axis, the profile will be reoriented around only this axis. Good for now. If the direction change is done around two axis at the same time, like the ramp in a spiral staircase, a rotation around the third axis in unavoidable since all three axis must remains at 90° from each other. What would be nice to have in a future version of SU would be some kind of modifier key that would allow the user to tell the "Follow me" tool to consider only one axis for rotation when doing the pull along the path. Just ideas. Jean (Johnny) Lemire from Richelieu, Quebec, Canada.

Sorry to celebrate your frustration, Elysium...but: YEAH! I'M NOT INSANE!

OK, thanks for the rephrasing. Yes, I knew about the export difference so I was quite surprised when misunderstood your first statement!

@remus said: Definetly possible, although it takes a bit of work. Theres a good tut on it here: http://www.sketchucation.com/forums/scf/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=3631&p=43237&hilit=rounded+cube#p43237 Sorted

lol thanks.. but im not asking you to do so - this aspect of the unit isn't significant. It's only for this unit in which im designing a nightclub, that our teacher wants us to implement different drawing views throughout our folio- it's not like the main presentation or anything.

Oh yes, bumps and such - or even clipmaps and layered materials so that it could look like a marble column with a winding, gilded stripe on it!

Just for a sidenote, in Kerkythea speifically, you can use the alpha channel as a clipmap. You put the png, tiff, whateve format with the alpha channel into the diffuse slot and at the clipmap slot there is a checkbox (aomething like) "use alpha mask as clipmas" you can check. But other applications may not have this option so to create two files - a diffuse and a clip - may still be useful (not to speak about file sizes that Alan mentions).
