Question:
I am trying to use a slider to power a simple gun. I grouped the slider to the "bolt" (the part that I want to slide) but when I try to parent it to the barrel than nothing happens. I select the parent tool, and than CTRL-Click the barrel. All that happens is that the joint-connector tool selects the barrel, but it doesn't parent the slider. Any thoughts? EDIT: I am using Sketchup8 and SP 3.1.

Nice Job

One feature that Kerkythea is lacking, unfortunately, is a way to move/rotate a model in an accurate notation. I have been looking for a plugin/hack that would fix this but haven't found anything.....I'll let you know if I come across something. Cheers,

I'm really liking that......my only thought would be that the wheels seem a little fragile, but they look that way on many bikes anyway. Cheers,

Wowsers....

Come on guys, you shouldn't need to download anything.....there are very few things more simple to model than a nail or sphere. In fact, if you have the SP plugin or the add shape plugin, you don't even have to model the sphere.

Have you tried using a text editor?

Select the arc tool, then select your two starting points for the arc. Use the arrow keys to select which axis you want the arc along. Does that help?

Cheers,

Nice..

Nice Job Mate

Guys,

I am taking all this with a grain of salt until its proven! From what I understand he was shot in the eye while using one of his wives as a shield! Its claimed that this particular wife was also shot dead!

Due to the rubbish claims, it now appears the US authorities are debating whether or not to show pictures of OBL's corpse on 'taste grounds'! When I heard he was 'buried at sea' I had to laugh!

It looks like the US Navy Seals had him cornered! Why the hell wasn't he captured and put on trial in a civilized manner under UN jurisdiction as there are a lot of questions to be answered or at least asked!

As I said, it looks like a load of old cobblers and possibly a PR stunt by OB?

My thoughts exactly!! The whole thing seems a bit outrageous..... In other words, I ain't believing 'em yet.

Possibly....I like the general shape, how it gets thinner towards the bottom...

I usually use the method that tfdesign explained.....I make half the pipe (or even just a quarter of it) and the duplicate it.

Yes, it may have been posted somewhere else first, but at least YOU had a video, not just a picture.

Cheers,

I like that idea. I also have about two dozen plugins installed but don't use all of them every day.

Cheers,

That's interesting.....
