LOL, Chris, I have been one for 6 months already.

Sorry for being that blind. So you moderate the world as a 'global' moderator.
So it is you that 'orbits' the globe, as you orbit traffic (I read somewhere you use the orbit tool for traffic he he).

By the way if you interpret the term 'moderator' phonetically in Dutch, it would translate to 'mud eater'
(in dutch : 'modder eter')

I vote for keeping your name.
It's funny and no one should take offense really.

Well, thanks for your support, but as you can see- the 'or else' has come into effect. I'm told by choosing my former name, I'm endorsing the Illuminati/New World Order- which, on a message board related to a freeware 3D design program- is apparently completely unacceptable. Also I think the 'name changer' is upset because I've haven't been responding to his authoritative Private Messages. I refuse to assist in my own groundless punishment. I do not negotiate with terrorists.

And look at my avatar and username! Emperor Gaius (aka Caligula) was not much better than any present presidents!
He made a pretty good movie, though. AMIRITE? AMIRITE?

So yeah... Looks like I'm done for good. Thanks again for all your help, guys- and if this problem happens to someone and they ask on these forums- make sure they didn't copy/paste parts of another model that had materials applied to it. I don't know for sure if that was the problem or not, but when i redrew the piece it exported to .stl fine.

Cheers!

I see no big problem with all the short forum names, even if I still prefer using our real names, or at least giving them in our profile. Using a name that belongs to some other person, even in jest, without disclosing one's own, is somewhat problematic. Effectively it amounts to posing as that person, and in some cases could be even criminal. Doing bad things in the Internet posing as someone else, like your ex-spouse, is, I understand, not uncommon.

Now aren't you exagerating a little?
As if he is pretending to be the president himself ...Oh come on..

It's kid stuff. Let him be.

I was just thinking aloud. Of course it's kid stuff, what I meant is that the line must be drawn somewhere, and Coen was not necessarily wrong where he wanted to put it first. Kids have been caught posing as their teachers or buddies too.

My guess is that the president is not a close friend of his.
But one never knows

In my opinion, solve things only when there is a problem.
I can't see anything to fix here, sorry.

Gaieus

Nice render, actually!

I believe thats a photo.

This whole name debacle turned out to be a misunderstanding, nothing to see here folks...

ANYWAY, BACK ON TOPIC: The part milled out perfectly from solo's rerender

Thanks again, guys!

Good! Nice render, too. Seems you managed to smoke your problems out.

No, I couldn't resist.

kwistenbiebel

That's cool....
I didn't even know you can make physical models with Sketchup.

Would that method (Stl) work as good for architectural scale models?

In principal yes, in practice no. It would be a pretty big (read: scary) milling machine!

I have just found this little gem of Didier's and am going to test it on a rapid prototyping machine with quite a detailed SketchUp model. I hope the resulting geometry works well, I'll post results.

I don’t go to the corner bar because of the political BS , truthers and the free energy speeches/conversations; could we please keep the political BS out of the rest of the forum? Or maybe not, since I am breaking the request myself.

@igor said:

and since when is our moronic president a sketchup user? does he use it to design weapons to obliteraite what tiny scraps are left of the iraqi government? or to make plans to tottaly screw over the entire economy and education system?

hopefuly, this is only your user name, and you are not the loony that is our president.

i, however, have no idea how to help you with your converter problem. ask Solo.
