Actually there may be madness in their method. sic
I read somewhere that they invert them so that it does not look like a face so that toddlers won't fool with them.I think it's actually done so it's harder for the plug to fall out if it's a little loose.
What key combination do you use to invert them?
-
TIGs mirror plugin or -1 scale.

I think the Sketchboard might appeal to some here that enjoy sketching on tracing paper with a fat clutch pencil ..... I for one enjoy the feel!
Anton Reinig from Berlin has designed the Sketchboard to keep the process nice and tidy. I also thought that he has not overpriced the device at $30 and his target figure is very realistic so it will more than likely be a runner.

Who wouldn't want one! The Hover Bike (sorry Pilou I missed your post,http://forums.sketchucation.com/report.php?f=72&p=422736 but I think it still deserves to be included here)

Fine design? Maybe not, but very fine creativity and an absurdly aesthetic eye.

I think it qualifies for sure.
It looks like an old commercial structure by the exposed mechanical, and wiring, and even some of the fixtures which fit the context so well. Plus the thoughtful way the key fixtures are mobile, means the space can be altered to any purpose.
But really I just love the funk

These are great, but I think there is a fortune to be made by someone coming up with a card that unties the not for divorces

I could probably find more pleasing to the eye boats but I love the interior of this one, its so spacious.
The 73 is my favourite but its not big enough to live on

Boat owners (I had one 17 years ago) have a saying:
"The two best days of being a boat owner are the day you buy it and the day you sell it".
-
I guess you gotta actually live it to appreciate that bit of wisdom
-
Our boat saying: A boat is a hole in the ocean in which you pour money.

Ours is.. 'sailing is like standing under a cold shower, tearing up 50 dollar notes'

Golf or tennis, anyone?
Alright now stop it this is off topic. -
FACIT HOMES is an excellent example of an architect lead Design & Build company.
I was also very impressed with their site as I was not bombarded with textual information, just great interview videos which explain what the company does.
I also noticed that they use Revit for final Con Docs and start the initial, and from the looks of things, continue with quite a bit of the preliminary planning, using pen and paper. I wonder if SketchUp might be a good fit for them at the idea consolidation stage. They like 'fluid planning' and as far as I'm concerned SketchUp offers this capability bar none.
I am sure anyone interested in house design will enjoy learning about the FACIT HOMES concept, so be sure to check it out and let me know what you think.
