hi archboy (what about giving us your name?),

each new post makes my mouth water more than the previous one. if you are doing this at 14 just image what you will be doing at 30!

cheers.

edson

i look forward to getting skinned.

cheers.

edson

hi archboy,

welcome. may i ask what exactly does skin.rb do?

regards.

edson

what exactly is your problem with mirror?

i have 4 networked macs and sometimes several people are working on the same project. my problem: i would like to create a folder on each one whose content would be always be the same. that is, it would be synchronized from time to time.

now, there is a microsoft app called foldershare that does that via internet but it does not work that well: the connection among the machines falls all the time and it does funny things to the files it synchronizes.

has anyone heard of a similar app for mac that really works? can the system do that?

hey james, thanks for one more tip to a very useful link!

hi, tig.

i have not tried your latest release yet but had a good look at the pdf. just felt like saying thanks to you for the invaluable contribution you have been doing to all of us. i use several of you other scripts and i am sure will soon use this.

best wishes.

it sounds so crazy i'll adopt it!

best.

phil,

teasing pictures... could we have more on the house?

jim,

forget it. i made it work by creating another shortcut. thanks for the very useful plugin.

edson

jim,

the plugin is not working for me exactly as expected. for instance, when editing some group/component inside another group/component, what is taken as extents is not the object selected inside the group/component but the outside extents of the group.

i hope i made myself clear.

thanks.

tig,

thanks for taking the time to help me. you "tut" was good enough. it gave me the basics and i managed to build quite a few lattices from it.

best wishes.

tig,

the usage text may seem self-explanatory to you, but i do not get it. a couple of illustrations would help a lot.

regards.

have you noticed we have a forum in portuguese? aparece lá!

great answer to a problem that is not complex but very annoying.

by the way, your signature reminds me of indian chiefs depicted in westerns with names that were descriptive of some of their main traits of personality (like "one who rises with the sun" and the like).

regards.

thanks, brad. indeed, it allows one to push-pull in directions the straight tool will not allow. i played with it for a short while and came across some unexpected results, like being able to copy a face along one of its sides (see attached).

i wonder if anyone who has been using it for some time can tell us some practical ways to use it.

gotcha.

no, i do not forget that. i am just not sure how to do it.

this a great tut, jean. very useful indeed.

gai, we should move jean's tuts to the tutorials section, don't you think so?

I am eagerly waiting for part 3.
