i use safari 4 as well but i haven't encountered the problem.. occasionally, i'll try to download a ruby and instead of it downloading as a .rb file, the actual script's text will display in my browser ... (happens with rubies from crai.archi) when that happens, i rightclick and choose "save linked file to xxxxxxxx" .. x being your download location..

I think theyre still using dual cores.

I am currently having the same problem. Suddenly, today out of nowhere, I get the bug splat everytime I try to drape something. Including draping one rectangle onto another. Your file crashed my Sketchup. I've been dealing with this this morning. I have uninstalled and reinstalled SU. Still have the problem. I have the most recent version. I do not understand what's causing the problem.

double posting by mistake.

Here is the Architects website... go to Projects profile and type in OCAD. There are photos of the building and a few of the interior. I am an Alumni here and may be able to get you some more info. http://www.alsoparchitects.com/ Cheers.

I wish apple would beef up their servers, they keep messing up when i try and download the new firmware. SO close and yet so far!

hi dylan! the images go to their coresponding diffuse, bump or displacement maps in the material editor. hope this helps as i'm also exploring vray myself

Yep.... it is called layers_materials.rb - http://www.crai.archi.fr/RubyLibraryDepot/Ruby/en_ren_page.htm ...... although it will pick random colors to be applied to the layered geometry. If one wanted to match the colors that are in the layer system, one will have to do it manually. It is a nice script and could be the solution for you. CMD

Very nice Dylan. I think it would be nice if you could make tutorial out of this.

Thanks Jackson. That should certainly get me going. I will have a go with it this week. Thanks for your time

Im not jumping into this discussion at the moment until I get some more information about the proposed European Basecamp. What I dont want to see happen is the two events clash timewise, or even location wise. I shall make some enquiries and see were we are, so this proposed meet here can be arranged.

just came across this site, looks like primarily a collection of images and renderings gallery: http://construction.com/community/gallerylist.aspx renderings: http://construction.com/community/publicgallery.aspx?plckGalleryID=cbcb58bc-3786-4447-8a99-d9fee9c33ebf

Hi Modelhead, Good to hear from one of my mentors. With your help is assisting me building the web page, plus members of this community who assisted me in skill building in sketchup, a considerable number of people are benefiting from this web page. It's facinating what can be achieved as a team. cheers Alan PS I've sent a PM to Hebrides explaining the late reply. I put it down to Jet lag

Thanks for the info Anssi, I shall try that later when I get home

Thanks Bruce, this will be perfect for my needs

Dylan, I very much would enjoy living in a house like that. Very nice. And learning some new tricks here too... bonus. Thanks.

Looks very convincing.

Thanks Giaeus, I was just reading up on this very point as you posted. Here is a link for anyone who may want some information. Safari 3 Beta

@mike lucey said: Nice work! Yes indeed Dylan SU 3D Details is a great way to explain construction methods to Builders. One good 3D can eliminate so many headaches during the course of construction. Of course it helps the Designer also as we can quickly discover whether or not everything fits together properly. While it is much slower than straight 2D drawings I find that one 3D model with multiple views can give the total picture. Straight 2D views can also be output from the 3D construction model with little effort should they be needed, normally the case for Planning Permissions (Permits). I still remember the first awkward 3D construction detail I did for a Winder Staircase. The ope was 2300 mm and I worked the total construction off a central column of 8 x 100 mm blocks. The carpenter was delighted with the drawings, which included a Cutting List. I think he nearly constructed the stairs in the same time in took me to make the model Ah! but I can use it again, if I can find it Mike I couldn't say it better (except in imperial - not metric) Great work Dylan!

Susan, I guess he meant the ruby file to download.
