Cool, Sketchup 9 is coming? I'm ready.

My wish list:

Built-in 3D Game creator "Creating 3d games with Sketchup free".
More new Function "Joint Push-Pull on a curved surface ETC..".

I thought about that, but I have no room in my basement for one.

It sits on your desktop.

MY desktop.... Where would you suggest???

My desktop......

That's a neat place, Joel.

Mine is a bit similar (maybe more cigarette ash piled up everywhere) and I thought my girlfriend / fiancé would be understanding.

But ever since I got married (like two weeks ago), she has been vacuuuming all around.

What gives?

TIG

Vacuuming off the dust ruins my filing system as the thickness gives chronological order to the stacks of paper.
At first I thought the picture was of my desk... then I realized we could still see the keyboard!
I also have a large pile of scrap paper to my left - useful for notes and very 'green' BUT it grows faster than I can scribble...

Gaieus

I don't even dare to ask where my pile of scrap papers went during my week in BaseCamp!

When it comes to performance I wish exploding would improve its speed.

As for my "filing system" its called stacks.
I know exactly which stack anything is in..... I just don't know how deep it is.

I keep everything. No BS here. On the far right, first shelf that you can barely see are boxes of 5inch floppies from my old Radio-Shack TRS-80 (circa 1978). I can't throw them out because I can't reach them, without moving 1/2 my office, and I have no place to put what I need to move out of the way.

And yes, I still have that machine as well. It won't work because the connectors are corroded.
In fact 6 weeks ago, I actually discarded its' old 110baud phone-line modem, that was in my way when I "cleaned up" my other workshop bench when the battle axe bitched about the "mess".

I still have the expanded 1.2mb memory cards from the old IBM PC that replaced it in 1984.
And my old 486 motherboard, and my old complete SCSI computer, also dead.

If the wife reads this, I'm dead.

It's called "Bait & switch". Standard with every marriage certificate.

Before; they "love you for what you are".
After; that ain't good enough anymore.

Yeah... I am (slowly) getting it...

(But I love it, of course - in case she is also reading this... )

TIG

To quote an old English punny joke...[you need to hear the words]
When a bride enters the church she sees the processional route and she thinks 'aisle'...
Then she sees the sanctuary at the end and she thinks 'altar'...
Then she hears the signing and she thinks 'hymn'...

Somehow in the confusion of the ceremony this gets muddled in her head and later on it comes out,

"I'll alter him!"

I now see what you mean! I got the end of the stick When I usually say "Rapid Prototyping Machine", my friends think I'm talking about this;

How about burning some of those books? You could dump the 486 PC for starters!

Offer her "Stitch and Bitch" instead. It works over here!

Get the SketchyPhysics Ruby. It has several generic shapes with good detail, even if you don't use its animation capability.

Or, make a few versions of the shapes you want, and put them into your component library to be used as needed.
