thanks guys, this has helped explain alot for me.

Zoom Window was in the toolbar in previous versions but has been moved to the Camera Drop down - but is there any way to add it back to the Toolbar - so much easier than keyboard or drop down? Thanks, Chuck

@bhnida said: ow can i ever pay this back ? any idea?? Once you become a master of SU, still visit the forums and help out other nebies. That's it. Everybody starts with quetions and ends up with answers - we all have gone along this way.

You can made it with Soap Bubble Skin Plugin [image: PaSO_soap.jpg]

Welcome Geocine! Nice looking avatar . I didn't sign any 'NDA' so luckily I can mock the slow dev as much as I want, without spilling any of that top secret Pentagon mumbo jumbo. But seriously: we all are impatient to see what the next SU will be like.

Thank you, very useful!!

No,it is not stuck.If you see PM's in there, it means that they are sent already but haven't been read by the addressee. Once they read them,they will "move" to the Sent messages folder. Two ways to contact the administrator: send me a PM (I read every PM, don't worry) send me an email (the link is in my signature) To find out who to ask for help, go down to the bottom of the board index and click on the "Administrators" or "Moderators" link. Or even better, in the "Who is online" list, you can always see which moderator (in bold) is online at the moment. You can always send them a PM - they (we) are here to help you.

I hope you do not mind me adding 'Su2Pov' to your title, as I do not use the app and it may attract the help you need from the developer or knowledgable user.

@ geh Of course I have used Soap Bubble I retake the lines of Modelhead As Plot-Paris said Bubble Soap must have closed lines So you must trim your boat for have some parts closed Here I have added a vertical line The blue line is closed! When a part is Soap Buble made, make the same for the contiguous part etc... For easy use put each part on a different layer View top is not helping for the concept As you see I had skiped the second horizontal line! [image: bpBp_concept.jpg]

@pbacot said: how does one create the evenly warped surface in the example? Actually, in this case it wasn't so hard - the whole structure is made of strips that correspond to 5 degree rotations (of the central "layer"). The Soapskin & Bubble Ruby looks really nice though. For me, the important thing was when I realized that I could rotate the edge of many different rectangles at once. First, I made a single rectangle that was as wide as I wanted the 5 degree strip to be, but 1/6th as wide in the other direction. Then I copied it so that there were 6 of those touching so that they glue together. Then I drew a single line across one long edge, selected this and rotated it by 5 degrees. Then I copied this 5 times to get the stack, selected the whole stack, copied it and moved it and rotated it by 5 degs so that it almost connected. Then I had to by hand move the end points slightly on the original strip (and in the end all of the triangle vertices as described above) so that they connected well with the new strip. Then I discarded the new strip (it was just a template) and copied and rotated the old one (then copied two and rotated two, etc. etc.). Thats a lot of words, but actually fairly fast in the end. Attached is as new and improved section (as per the suggestions of Alan Fraser) as well as the beginnings of a new one (with 5 rather than 6 segments) in case my description made no sense. Thanks to everyone for the suggestions! Twisted_erased_2.skp

You have the DB.Tools who clean all edges of a same coplanar surface!

Seems you can with the Joint Push Pull plug by Fredo666 [image: mLmp_jpp.jpg]

T splines!!!!! show me T Splines!!!! advertise T splines,, then I'd consider.

thanks. you guys been a great help...

Hi Louis welcome to SU Community We are located all around the planet. It's nice to share with friends all over the world. MALAISE

If it's a component then editing one component changes all of them. If it is a group then you have another issue all together because a copy of a group is not linked and they can be altered seperatly. If it is a component and you want to make it a different colour then right click and select "Make Unique", you will now have another component in your list called "Floor#1", you can then change the name to "Kitchen Floor".

If it is already a component or group first you have to: Explode it, OR Double click the item to edit it THEN you can draw the circle to push/pull it. If you just erase the circle all you do is have a hole in the face of the item. If you want it so that there is a face on the inside of the item then you need to push/pull it. Have a look at the demo model. circle-demo.skp
