    • Amateur dramatics. Set design. Black Adder, WW1.

      I got caught up with a local drama society last year. They had never seen SU or any 3D Vis before at all. All very impressed. Esp the 'Director' who was able to see the 'what is to be' space.

      First thing of course, was to model the theatre itself, which as a Component is ready for future productions. All accurate to 20mm.

      I physically built the set as well. (With fridge cartons and a bit of 70x19mm). [Or 3 1/2" x 3/4" for the odd countries.]

      Sorry, me too lazy to extract the images from the PDF, go for it if you wish.

    • RE: Rant one. USB ports.

      What I don't understand is why couldn't they all jump on a simple standard? (Screen denotes up, perhaps)?
      And here be madness, I have two HTC devices. Their ports are opposite!
      Cheers.

    • Rant one. USB ports.

      Really? Is it that difficult to align the insertion of a USB plug into its socket in a consistent world manner?
      Totally ridicorous.

    • Perhaps a 'Duh' question?

      Is there a keyboard shortcut for 'Update Scene'?
      I'll be buggered if I can find one.

    • Shadow Study.

      I present this shadow study as an example where very simple, but accurate, modelling can give you valuable on-site data.

    • RE: Movin' on...

      So seven months and about sixty five grand later I am living in my tiny house.

      Had to move before it was completely finished because my mate was selling his property. But quite civilised with heating, hot water, cooking etc.

      And at the moment in a caravan park while I find somewhere more permanent.

      As usual SU was essential.
      Main Dims: 7500 length x 2950 width x 3250 height mm.

    • RE: Timber brackets for access walkway

      My two bobs worth: I would bring the brackets by the double opening as close together as possible, the span at present seems too wide. And possibly add another.
      I would beef up the right angle corners of the brackets as well, there will be a large amount of lateral force on that joint.
      The access stairs worry me, are they removable? I wouldn't like to see a party up there 😞

    • RE: Updating Model Across Several SU Files

      Reload only works on components. So save the contents of a file as a component.
      A component doesn't save views styles etc, only entities.

    • RE: 2D Ain't All That

      A few years ago I was asked by a client to model a set of plans for a very large maintenance facility at an oil refinery, just for presentation to the men in suits, you understand.
      The model revealed that the gantry crane rails would collide with one of the huge roller doors.
      When informed the architects called BS, they said SU was a toy. I had to go visit and show them on my laptop, they were not happy.
      I probably saved them a hundred grand, it would have been a huge cockup.
      Never got a thank you from them but the client insisted on models from me from then on.

    • RE: Too many machines?

      Might be a bit obvious but have you tried a cold reboot? Everything off, puters, lappies, modems, wifi etc (inc. phone).
      Wait a couple of mins and start up again. Worth a try...

      I remember this post from 9 years ago, such great work. I don't, however, remember the Logos being there then, how curious.

    • RE: Hybrid render all viewports at export

      At present not possible as far as I can see, needs a clever script writer perhaps.
      Do you have more than one viewport on a page? If so you can select all the viewports and render them as one. But you probably knew that...
      You can use the Style dropper to sample a previous viewport setting as well, might save a bit of time...
      And if you click on the next page even while the 'Wait' doughnut is circling, it will go there eventually, bit more of a visual clue if your attention wanders...
