This program works really well for me. It's a paid program but the demo works and all it does is put some text on the dxf file. You can then delete the text. If you pay for it of course there's no text.

No just a quick and dirty way of finding out big the grey square needs to be to cover it. It can look as rigid as hell.

Is it possible with a plug-in to drape a plane or something over this a frame thingy.

Solo,

If you saw two Americans somewhere in Europe eating a hamburger and fries in a McDonalds, what does that tell you?

That they are tired of good food and want some crappy food for a change

Roger just think Cooler weather is just around the corner only a 1.5 to 2 months and we can open our windwos.

Awesome work as usual.

I use Comodo Internet Security Premium and it's free and have never had a problem.

Correct me if I'm wrong but Isn't Artisan a plug-in for SU and Sculptris a stand alone program? If so we are talking about two different worlds.

What version of SU are you running?

Try Showmypc.com it's free and works really good.

Thanks for the help that worked. Not really sure what I was doing wrong, I was exploding them but for some reason I couldn't get it to work. The only thing I can think of was that I wasn't selecting all three of them at the same time. I would select the rectangle and the upper pipe and it would erase the face of the pipe as well.

I did watch the videos but I haven't used SU in about six months and now just getting back into it. Again thanks for the help.

I need a little help here with the Pipe Along path plugin. I have two pipes intersecting at an angle and what I want to do is to clean up the extra that is on the inside of the pipe. I'm trying to trim it flush with the outside surface. I've exploded the items and when I go to erase the inside parts the it erases the whole thing. Any idea on what I might be doing wrong?

Todd

I was wondering if anyone had any thoughts on OpenSCAD software?

Todd

I have use Cobian Backup. You can do seclude back ups or on the fly. It will let you back up to any device or any online storage you have access to. Best of all it's free.

Dolphus,

Now what would really be cool is if you were to animate the landing gear and doors with sketchy-physics.

Todd

Dammmmmmmmmmmmmmmn Dolphus Are you doing this for a living or just for the fun of it?

Dolphus,
Have you ever put together a Tut on what you did for any of your projects? Your work is outstanding.

Todd

Can someone point in the direction of a tutorial of how to create clay renders in Podium? I've followed all the info I can find, but my renders are not coming out. I can barely see the model against the background. I know I'm missing something but not sure what I'm missing.

Thanks

Got in with no problem.
