      However, the problem I see with Sketchucation, is that it's a software and software workflow related debate. It's good for sketchup, it's not great for design, though discussing your tool, learning to master it and improving on it, tends to free the mind for ideas when you are designing.

      I believe with sketchucation, more focus would still be at the tools, rather than at design thinking.

      That was similar on the PPB - there was a general acceptance it very much evolved around SU as an integral part for the efficient exploration of design. Well obviously hence the PushPull bit! Duh!

      I'm not sure that the thread switching through diversions is that bad, like you and I workflow is an integral part of our processes - both on the tools, and likely on the thinking.

        I know it's not bad and I also like that debate. It's just that when it becomes a secondary thing, I like it better...

          It's easier for us to set something up that is based on joining a usergroup. That would mean only the brave need apply.

          It'd be great if Kevin got involved. I wouldn't want to step on toes. He did great things there.

            PushPull was always a good read, I was always out of my depth to comment but did love rendering and modeling stuff from the masters.

            Me thinks SUC should diversify to more softwares like Blender, C4D, etc and I'd love a dedicated architecture section for friendly banter and honest professional criticism and advice.

            All of the above and more...

            ... I would love a 'Design' section and even a 'Technical' section for real world projects.
            I know there are lots of forums out there for this stuff, (in my case, mainly woodworking), but even the simplest posts ramble on for 4 or 5 pages, yada,yada.

            I assume there are forums for Solos suggestions too, he might have similar reasons for not wanting to get involved in numerous 'others'

            But I have been a member here for 8yrs (on friday) plus a few years on the old forum and I know you guys. And there are many very smart people here. And despite this being the 'friendliest' forum, there is remarkably little BS.

            Su is a integral part of my working life from concept to production. It would be fab to have a sort of 'one stop shopping' where any questions and answers could be put.

            For example, I am currently concept sketching an extreme cantilevered table. The top will have to be a torsion box, and I will wing it as usual as to the structural elements, but wouldn't it be great if I could run it past one of the engineering whizzes here?

            This sort of thing already happens on individual threads now of course. I have several examples that I have been involved in but with the current setup you would never find them.

            Pushpullbar was inclusive in that way, of course architecturally centric.

            BTW: I reckon that it was targeted for a perceived bias that it was elitist. By assholes who just wanted the models.

            Ps: I would join the premium club for all this.😄

              I'm pretty sure the PPB is dead and buried Rich! Doubtful to ever see the light of day again.

                I loved PushPullBar.
                Fostered great discussion and debate, and was a fantastic resource for anything architecturally related.
                Maybe Kevin could be enticed to moderate a user group here. (bring back his little .gif avatar)

                  Enjoy design discussions but there's hurdles to getting WIP or finished project discussions. Privacy, people's time constraints etc., and generally it seems architectural forums invite flame wars and attract nuts with an agenda (I know we're all a little nuts).

                    Bump. I still like the idea of several more 'specialist' forums. As Solo said, maybe just to read. And as Richard said, "only the brave need apply".

                      Yeah I'd like it too! I've always got an opinion to share (or ram down someone's throat till that get it)! lol
