Nice models Eric. You should share these over at CadTutor. I think a lot of members would love to see these, they are great examples of how standard SU images can look great! F7

There's already some kind of double offset: use windowizer with 0 inset

I get my Father's Day Gift tomorrow. My daugter comes home from Italy! She has been in Sicily for 18 months serving as an LDS Missionary. I am so excited. My son leaves for Russia in 2 weeks as well to serve for 2 years. Happy Father's Day to ME!!!!

@tomsdesk said: You must have pushed the surface into the Twilight Zone...if so, the model may be still building there. Well that explains the sensation I felt when SU shut down... or was that my vibrating chair? Either that or I pushed the surface into infinity. And we all know how SU reacts to large numbers

very refreshing, cheers boo.

A better streamlining for ruby apps would look good on the to-do-list for the Google sketchup dev. team...

Its working for me now, must have been a fluke.

I come back after a long break and I see one of my reasons to use sketchup! Love it guys! Shame I can't get S&S (I need to upgrade my system). Imagine if these where actually in a game...

This is probably a good time to recommend a UPS. For around 100 bucks you can get a UPS that will keep most machines going for 5-15 minutes, perhaps even more. A couple of hundred will get you perhaps half an hour - of course it depends a lot on the exact machine you are using. As a bonus a typical UPS makes a very good filter. I have an APC Back-UPS 1500 for my iMac and phone and a Belkin 550VA unit for my minimac, timecapsule and DSL modem. Worth every cent. Living out in the wilds we frequently get short outages during the winter as snow pulls on wiring. Those of you in cities are more likely to get problems in summer due to A/C use.

I got hit by a tornado last year. What a mess! There wasn't much damage to the house but the trees...It took a month to get the streets cleared.

A really nice touching story . Knowing Boo I was expecting some crazy twist at the end. But no this is a really nice touching story.

I have a similar feeling with things like that john. I think it shows a lot more skill and craftsmanship to be able to do something simple very well than to add lots of extravagencies.

Good I didn't know of this earlier this week...I would have overdosed for sure!

Didnt read the entire thread but if you have some minor electronics experience you can purchase individual cells and rebuild your battery pack. Most often this is FAR cheaper than purchasing a new pack or drill. If you have moderate to good experience in it, you can find cells with a much higher capacity than the originals and extend the battery life by a large amount. This is something I have done with laptop batteries in the past. What was a 150 dollar battery pack cost a friend of mine 45 dollars and about an hour of my time.

I believe that for image N°2 all is closed as soon as some winds are coming

i like so much the leningrad cowboys! they're very funny but good musicians too. you should watch the two movies they've done: Leningrad cowboys go America and Leningrad cowboys meet Moses.

I also have had this happen but as said earlier, this will have no effect (that I have found) to the final product. Even during rendering the skylights render fine. Scott

I like it... Very stylish and somehow similar to Jon's First one?...

Time to Update it . I mean to take this thread out¡
