    • RE: Can we sketch up with a Wacom pen

      Wacom tablets work just like a mouse, they just makes it more accurate for freehand lines.
      The one disadvantage is the lack of scroll wheel for orbiting/zooming etc.

    • RE: Extruding on curved surfaces

      It's not the nesting, the component bends perfectly on my system.

      Select the component, hit the bending tool, select the straight line on the red axes, it should turn blue, then select the curve, it turns blue. Wait a bit and you get the blue and green formers, when they are the way you want, hit enter. And wait.

    • RE: [Plugin] Work Plane

      Another excellent Tig Tool.

      Just one question/suggestion, is it possible to have numbering added to the grid.
      When I'm putting together a ship I have over 300 frame references set at .64m, to have those frame numbers automatically on the grid would be a godsend.

    • RE: Punny

      "Dear Lord," the minister began, with arms extended toward heaven and a rapturous look on his upturned face. "Without you, we are but dust." He would have continued but at that moment my very obedient daughter (who was listening!) Leaned over to me and asked quite audibly in her shrill little girl voice, "Daddy, what is butt dust?"

    • RE: Assisted Suicide/Voluntary Euthanasia

      I don't believe this is a suitable topic for this site, even the corner bar.

      It's highly sensitive and I was broadsided by it just looking at new threads.

    • RE: Adding vertices to flat surface

      One of the tools is called "insert vertex", you might find that will insert some vertexes for you.

    • RE: Open ended model

      Your best bet is to attach the model so someone can see what the problem is.

      But first thing that springs to mind, you probably have a group or component and are trying to add to it without being in edit mode.

      Or the surface you are trying to close isn't flat/coplaner.

    • RE: The new Render[In] plugin

      I asked them in their forum and they said it was a problem with 64 bit and they would be adding an installer for 64 the next day, so far nothing.

      However if you say it is quick time then I won't be installing it as I don't have quicktime and I don't plan to install it.

      It would be nice if they knew the correct answers in their own forum, not really criticising but if you start a forum you need to be on top of it to get it up and running properly.

    • RE: How would you do this?

      If you use components and make a pipe, then bend it using Fredoscale Radial bender you have no cleanup.
      The components fit together and adjust themselves for the curves.

      You could "make Unique" the ones with gaps and just tweak them a bit, rotate the end to fit the gap.

    • RE: The new Render[In] plugin

      Interesting that you would say "Not suited for a 32-bit platform."

      The installer doesn't work on a 64 bit system,therefore making it uninstallable. They tell me a 64bit installer will be available soon.

    • Loft? some other tool? How do I get there from here?

      I don't have SU8 on this computer so I can't open your file, but is sounds like all you need is Curve Stitcher.

    • RE: How would you do this?

      I'm sure you can achieve what you want with a little work, I only threw that together.

      If you make the component just like you want and move the axis to the centre of the component it will follow whatever line you want.

      This was done quickly with Component Stringer.

      I'm not worried about the royalties, but I do expect to see "Illustrations by Box" in at least 72 point on the cover.
