          Thanks Simon, yes definately a madman in the nicest sense. I have added [TUTORIAL] to the topic heading for better search results. Must get Csaba to post it in the Daily CatchUp.

                Hi guys I'm confused by such friendly feedbacks.. 😳

                I would like make some addons to this thread..

                I) an alternate Spider Web design

                http://i274.photobucket.com/albums/jj245/Spendauballet/SketchUp/Dome019_th.jpg

                II) the possibility to use the same technique for an ovale shape:

                Whaat_SubdivideAndSmooth
                (re: Central box squarred for a circular result after S&S action)

                http://i274.photobucket.com/albums/jj245/Spendauballet/SketchUp/Dome020_th.jpg


                http://i274.photobucket.com/albums/jj245/Spendauballet/SketchUp/Dome021_th.jpg

                (we have to say that the number of elements increases so quickly that the poor monocore SketchUp engine goes to the touch dawn in a snap 😞 )

                III)Here is a chinese Sketchup model of the National Stadium of Pekin National Stadium_v0.skp which is dealing with that sort of questions and is very interesting to dismount...

                http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_YEzxKdplUXo/R9HpLy47ZWI/AAAAAAAAByg/wmQ3hsGMwlI/s1600/h_4_ill_1019818_pekin-stade.jpg

                (taken from:
                archINFORM)

                I have worked on it for a friend who was asking me quotations, cause he was to install a "Spider Cam" on it for a manifestation...


                http://i274.photobucket.com/albums/jj245/Spendauballet/PekinNationalStadium/th_NationalStadium008.jpg

                  Hi Simon,

                  this is a really good tutorial. I see that I still have to learn a lot.

                      It's curious: at any moment you have used Line2Tubes by Didier Bur? 😉
                      Tubes here
                      line2tub.jpg

                      If you take precision = 4 you have square section so rectangular boxes in length ! 😉

                        Hi Pilou,
                        Good to see else tries than mine 👍 (We often find you kindly at the "rendez-vous" 😄 )

                        You are right and not.
                        Line2Tubes from Didier or PipeAlongPath from TIG can be used in any case for a low poly previsu and in some cases when we want centered variations of polygones (triangle; squares; polygones; circles) . You are right I have forgotten to use them.
                        But I think the more often we are going to want a special shape with a special center in order to answer to two aspects: mechanical (the roof must sustain the overall weight) and esthetical too.

                        💭 simon

                              Yes, thanks for the tutorial (and a nice implicit how-to on making them effective, graphically and 'instructionally') and more importantly a fine example of how to model, how to think, analytically, reductively, as seems necessary to get at the essential geometry of the model object.

                                Hi Carrozza, Chang and Brooke,

                                Sorry for delay!
                                I'm honored by your comments

                                Dear Brooke, you give me one of the kindest comments I ever get 😉
                                Do we have to recognize in it an implicit underneath message addressed to the community: a wish for a kind of tutorials ?

                                IMO "tutorials section" is a bit to much deserted by the best SketchUP users which have to learn us the more. Take a look to it, new entries are not so frequent. A good tutorial emulate a desire to play, to learn and to progress.. and to play and fight together to find the better ways ☀

                                  My expertise being a fantasy, my participatory history here being brief and my selfish gluttony being what it is, I have to agree that I want more, and of superior quality! Your spirit and love for this stuff wraps you well and we are pleased, and enjoy, and benefit.

                                  Not to let the syrup clog the gears, but I learned as well from your little ray gun explication.

                                  Cheers.
