Steel staircase

Free Time...What is that?

LOL. Lucky me, being a freelancer I still manage to squeeze some free time between projects to learn something new.

I wasn't being rude, if I was looking at your portfolio, unless you wanted to do the external steel detailing in my office I would wonder what your intention was.

Thanks for your reminder, Stanley, next time I'll make sure I declare my "intention" prior to posting any image here, I'm sure this is stated in the forum policy somewhere.

Hey if you want to model the emergency stair outside Tesco good for you I just wondered if there was a technical issue

Hmm... I'm sorry but I didn't get what you mean by "technical issue"? Didn't I mentioned it in my post that this is something I modeled and rendered when I was free?

It's not illegal to model and render existing structures/buildings here in Malaysia. Also, this is not a project of mine so I didn't really disclose any sensitive data, if there's any, about the design in the model, which I shared in 3D Warehouse. Lastly, I believe no contractor will build a structural steel staircase solely based on a 3D model without fully annotated and authority approved construction drawings.

Great render,
So you modelled it?
Why duntio download from 3D Warehouse

I know where you're coming from. It has been "suggested" to me as well to not share work under construction and/or still under development. I understand the professional and commercial mindset, especially when the project is for a client or the work is sensitive to IP in some way. But for the most part, all the hand-wringing to not share models, especially screenshots or renders is a bit ridiculous.

Thanks, Nino.
Yes, I modeled it, 3D with SU is fun, no?

Hi David. Uhhh... did I say something wrong? "Free time" = "leisure", no? Please excuse me if I didn't get it right as English is not my first language, but what I really mean is "I modeled it when I was free."

david_h · 20 Feb 2012, 15:54

no...your English is fine, but the term 'FREE TIME' is so foreign to me anymore. i cant remember the last time I had free time to model anything :

sorry if my little joke didnt translate very well

Free Time...What is that?

That's my problem as well.

Yes, I agreed, but rules are rules. For me, my job is translating the architect or engineer's design into drawings, so I don't think I have the right to "publish" any of my (paid) works without their approval. I guess the same rule applies to 3D modelers, too.

However, I don't think there's any rule in any part of the world which prohibits people from model and render an existing structure, no? Or else Google would be in big trouble with its 3D Warehouse.
