I keep forgetting to show you the back view.

I'm glad to see that like the rest of us from down here you have the extinguisher in the right place.
The chances of fire in the kitchen and bedroom are basically the same.

Box me old dear, I have read this 4 times now and still she make no sense.

In the interests of good bookkeeping, I submit the following:

Number of Kitchen fires that I have either experienced or have trusted hearsay: 7 in last 30 years.
Number of Bedroom fires that I have either experienced or have trusted hearsay: 0 in last 30 years.

Damn fine gin and lime, this.

That's wonderful! Hope you are enjoying your new place! Is it quiet around there?

I am loving it, except when I'm not.

Which is mostly about my off grid setup. PV, Inverter/Chargers, Batteries, (48V, 4x200Ah batts. 6 x 270W PV).
Generators, RANT over.

And yes, it is very quiet. So quiet that I sometimes hear the airbrakes on the Mudland Hwy, bout 8 klms west away.

But then there's the maggies that hit the roof hard bout dawn to practice their carrier landings. They then sit around and squack about it.

And dont get me started about deer coughing at me.

Could 'Location' and 'Language spoken', be added to our Profiles?
I was about to make a 'cheeky' answer, and thought, they might not unnerstando. Disaster.
Anyway...

Check Preferences/Open GL. And see if the settings are different...

Enjoy your GOT and sleep. I've never seen the former and only see the latter once in awhile.

Ok, traced in LO and got a good result. Have to consider this a workaround tho'. And a bit of a pain as easy to miss endpoints in LO. (No option to toggle endpoints)

Thanks for the help Dave.
Cheers.

Maybe I should re-install. Will look at it tomorrow, got to watch GOT then bed

The break didnt appear in the previous file with the segmented curves. Only in the second iteration with proper arcs. I don't have any experience drawing in LO. Only ever use it for dimensions and presentation.
I am finding a few other things with this latest release, hardly enough to notice, but things not acting as they used to. One example: Cant get the start of a line, circle etc to infer to a construction point in Top view, but orbit the view a little and bingo.

No, second shot is a DXF export from SU, only opened in Layout. Also checked it in the Autocad online viewer.
Cheers

Dave, I had already redrawn before your trace suggestion.
But curiously, even though I now have smooth arcs they fail to join up in the DXF.
However the SU model had no gaps and perfectly closed faces...
I'm stumped...

Glad it's not just me. I will try redrawing from scratch.

I have successfully exported non-segmented arcs to DXF for CNC work many times in the past. But now, in 2019 she no work.

This is the method I have always used:
Set view to Top.
Set camera to Parallel projection.
Delete faces leaving only lines.
Export 3D Model as DXF, ACad 14.

Also tried exporting from LO, same result.

Anyone else seeing this?

Mr Ib. Lookin good. Post the skp if you have changed it.

Now thinking original image a bit 'Stinky'?
Or, does it matter which way 'textures' point? Even Wood or Feathers?

Had a very quick play with your model.
I dont use Vray, but Twilight. But these tips apply anyway.
Your model is not very realistic, so grain orientation fixed and impossibly sharp edges softened. Also put your model in a curved stage to eliminate hard shadows. And added some shine and bump to the wood.
Also deleted whole bunch of entities, a sort of studio around the 'badly drawn box'. Vray?

Suggest you watch some YouTube beginner vids.
Good Luck.

the Skp wont have any render settings, but has my geometry/texture changes.
PS; your model broke on me when I went 'Round corner'. Needs a complete remodel, me thinks. Just trace over the group paying extreme attention to 'xyz' And make a good simple one?

Hi Gabor. I do mean forum post notifications. Well I received this one!
I use Thunderbird as my client for several E-mail addresses. Including one Gmail.
I have been subscribed, for example, to the 'SubD examples' post from the beginning of the thread. Today on a site visit, I noticed many posts from that thread that wewre not notified.
I have lost track of the many posts that I am following, but I have recieved few, if any, 'forum post notifications'for quite a while.
(I have checked junk and spam filters).
Cheers, Baz

Did a search for problem of not receiving notifications. Found some stuff from a few years ago, check spam folder etc.

This has been odd for me, was getting some but not all and they have now tailed off to none.
Any ideas?

Concerned about how addicated I still am to nicotine...And not sure how much Nic I am actually vaping.
I vape a lot more than I used to smoke.

So just tried a little experiment. I keep a bit of tobacco on hand for rare joints. (Bad back:)

I rolled up a cig from my 16/18Mg tobacco and bugger me, it gave me the spins. Not pleasant.

So I think this tells me 8Mg will be about right. And I am definitely needing less Nic than I used to.

(4 years this April).

This post needs to be renamed 'Too impressive SketchUp modelling!!!'
Think I might start start a new thread for us mortals, 'Reasonably good SU modelling'.
