Thanks these are really great... i look forward to see if the TP one happens

If they are good, then the office will pay for it. So far I've not found anything free or commercial that's been good enough, or fitting. First glance to Dosch looks promising. Will look more tomorrow. -Thanks!

Amazing I could create cool stuff with this...

Hi Tom Yes it's been a while. we're both a few years older . It's nice to be back. I'm incredibly busy at the moment. In a "partnership" with another architect and everything has come together in a big way. I had 2 projects featured on http://www.worldarchitecturenews.com out of the UK. That helped the credibility factor immensly. We are swamped with work and are are the point of needing some help. That is a major change for the both of us so we will take our time looking for the right people. I saw the model that you mentioned and no I won't pay $160 for it. This is my favourite car. The latest sale was for over 3 million and I won't have that money for a while (going out to buy a lottery ticket now). There were about 13 made, from France, designed and built by 2 Italians Figoni and Falaschi. I saw your web site, congrats, nice to see you're making $$$ on your talent. How are you doing??? Health OK? Family? Give me a shout @ ld@lawrencedoddarchitect.com Best Lawrence

I recall that RickW also did some work on using a projected material that was balck-to-white hight-field gradient... http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=180&t=18024&p=149747&hilit=height#p149747

You can create these yourself rather quickly in Sketchup Draw a rectangle on the ground. Draw an irregular outline of a flagstone and close the lines. Pushpull the resultant face up say 2.54 cm. Erase the rectangle, select the remaining geometry, right click, select make component, give it a name. Do this a number of times to create unique random flagstones. Also, edit the component and trace over one of the segments on the bottom of the figure if you want to close the bottom face of the stone.

These are all great ideas, guys! I, like Dave haven't really thought about using endpoints in this way..... A bit to you fellas!!!

Brodes mate I bought quite a few sets of the axyz collection and they are great! Got 3d has quite a good lower priced option as well.

very nice. thanks

Thank you, Pete.

Always generous with the eyes up Alan!!! Thanks mate!!

Thx Dave R....I guess I'm using that dynamic component (didn't realize there was a component distinction to be made) I'll try that when I get home from work.

ahh...i did (almost) that exact thing (wrong) four or five times then beat my head on the desk four or five times.. deadlines will do that to you! thanks guys, got my sanity back

Thanks, I forgot about editing the extension. [image: PatioCoverroofnotg.png]
