Absolutely amazing and creative content, its like looking into the future, with ability to change what will happen. I wish I was younger and could ride the wave like our creative authors.

Absolutely brilliant - great for a newbie like me. The info on augmented reality was great, as my company is just looking into how we might implement this in our marketing.

Looks like I joined Sketchucation just in time...

Excellent content and well executed. I enjoyed reading this one, too.

I can't open the pdf either.... or does it take a while to download?

Rich O Brien · 18 Apr 2011, 14:41

It's just over 5mb so it depends on your connection speed

What are you using to view PDFs?

Older PDF viewers may not recognise this format? Adobe reader 5 for example

Don't use the viewer integrated in the browser, as it takes forever. Right click > download.

I hate to be an ugly fanboy, but it works great on a Mac in Safari.

Great job again guys!

Right clicking on any of the links shows an html as what will be downloaded...I haven't figured how to download the pdf. While in the pdf right clicking doesn't give you the option to download. I'd love to download these so I could read them outside of the browser...just can't figure out how to.

EDIT:
I figured it out...in Explorer you can go to File-SaveAs Works!

I formed the proxy manually if that's what you mean. The octagon is just a polygon or a circle with 8 sides. I didn't use the "Subdivide Selection" here. Just the octagon using the circle tool and then the lines with the line too and moving everything up from there.

Here's a quick .skp showing the steps.

I get this:
If the triangulated SD diagonals are not in the direction desired you can also use the Sandbox tool to 'flip' them as required

There's another 'first time moment' again..... Thanks TIG!
