Thanks to you guys, well it's more or less two thousands hours, including video, but not work, just pleasure!

@elmer said: Well, I must apologize if I’m making things confused and convoluted to some, but they may not have read that other great thread: https://forums.sketchup.com/t/an-open-letter-to-trimble/87510?u=chippwalters and this one too: https://forums.sketchup.com/t/open-letter/88172 And yes, I am one of those old fart who think that the planet would be much better off if we weren't in a frenzy of consumption, always upgrading and trying to go desperately faster! Many softwares kindly offer a small checkbox to untick if you don't want to see the home screen appear at each new opening. I feel like an intrusive injonction the way the SketchUp Make starting screen ask me to say hello! Sorry to point it out, but it was not like that with Google SketchUp Free True also that being retired gives us plenty of time to complain and moan a little bit about the way things are going..... . Hi Elmer, no apologies required And reasonable complaints, but alas that seems to be the way things are going. Main thing is we have had years of Sketchup being owned by google that had a different objective, not entirely commercial. Unfortunately we will have to get used to Trimble or move on. I am not sure Trimble is reading the market correctly, but I may be wrong.

Bon, ben ça a disparu...les mystères d'internet! Merci pour vos réponses.

Thanks Doug, An other good idea to make me play a little bit more on that game! Model weight is not really a problem, I have been using SketchUp for long enough now to know how to compose with that and use a few tricks and work around Only problem is that it's not gonna be done tomorrow as I have a lot to do outside on my land at the time, many trees growing too fast and some pruning to do! Thanks again for watching and comments, Regards. Ps: the other good idea came out after hellnback comment and as already gave birth to a new project that will be soon on my Behance pages called the "Icytectures". Will let you know about.

Merci Sergio! Apanage de l'age peut être mais non...tout petit déjà le mot travail me filait des boutons, je l'ai donc banni de mon vocabulaire et me suis débrouillé pour que, comme on dit en malgache: "Tsysi olona ambona, tsysi olona ambana" qui se traduit par "personne au dessus, personne en dessous". Bonne semaine à toi, Patrice

ça a déjà un an cet article mais il en faudrait d'autre ! je rencontre encore des archis qui considèrent sketchup comme une blague d'étudiant ... les pauvres !

What I mean is the render tells a story. Just like the best art I can make something out of the placing of objects and 'people' that Is tangible. No need for photo real etc when it is this good.

Thanks so much Tig

Je n'avais pas ouvert le lien, désolé, Merci Patrice pour le lien

Yes, with the native FollowMe you need the profile face to be square to the first segment of the path. My ExtrudeEdgesByFace will actually do that for you [doh!]

Unfortunately I had to drop support for older OSX versions as it was getting harder and harder to compile for all the OSX versions. I had to update the way I compiled in order to make things work with the latest OSX version.

Very shortly here are the main dangers of the Trans-Atlantic "Free Trade" Agreement : FOOD SAFETY: Our safety standards, much stricter than American standards and the "international standards" (levels of pesticides, bacterial contamination, toxic additives, GMOs, hormones, etc.) could be condemned as "illegal trade barriers" standards. SHALE GAS: European governments no longer would regulate exports of natural gas to the nations TAFTA. Hydraulic fracturing could become a law for companies that might require damages from nations that oppose it. JOBS : Companies wishing to relocate in states affected by the project TAFTA where wages are lower, would be protected. The Survey and the Labour Code becoming illegal, no more notice of termination. Employment center should be privatized or be sued by temporary companies for unfair competition. The consequences of TAFTA on the unemployment rate in Europe would only be harmful. HEALTH & RETIREMENT: Drugs could be patented longer, pharma groups could block the distribution of generics. Emergency services could be privatized. Private insurance could sue the CPAM (Primair fund health insurance) for unfair competition. The PAYG could be dismantled, the insurance companies would replace the CRAM ARRCO AGIRC (French national pension funds)... WATER & ENERGY: These assets would be privatized. Any Opposing municipality could be charged with obstruction of freedom of trade, ditto for energy, whether fossil, nuclear or renewable. Nuclear safety would be reduced. The price of gas and KW would be free. FREEDOM & PRIVACY: As the public revolt, companies hoping to lock up and monopolize the Internet have failed last year to pass their repressive ACTA; more pernicious texts are in the TAFTA. PUBLIC SERVICES: The TAFTA would limit the power of states to regulate public services such as personal services, road, rail, etc. and reduce the principles of universal and wide access to these critical needs. CULTURE & ARTS PRODUCTION: Large producers of audiovisual could ban private or professional low budget productions like youtube, vimeo, dailymotion, collaborative funding would be made ​​illegal. National museums would lose their right of preemption on the national art treasures for the benefit of private collectors. EDUCATION: Private universities could sue the Ministry of Education for unfair competition. From kindergarten to doctorate, private companies would challenge schools, school canteens and university restaurant, any municipal, regional or national subsidies. We all know the damages caused by the NAFTA : https://www.policyalternatives.ca/newsroom/updates/nafta-chapter-11-increasing-threat-public-good The European commission mandated for the negotiation - supported by France - to transform EU and USA into a single market and subjugate the peoples to the law of private companies, that is to say, the law of profit alone. An other world is possible than the one multinational companies are preparing for their benefits. SAY NO TO TAFTA! [image: sPxP_stoptaftacouche-62.jpg]

Hi, Has anyone attempted the Jean Prouve Rack and Pinion Shelves(1948)? I want to give it a go but the problem is getting the detailed dimensions/angles. The wall connection bracket mechanics are also a mystery as the photos of the shelves don't divulge its secrets. I tried contacting the gallery that sells the shelves, but no response yet. If anyone knows a website or book that details the design, please share. This is the link to detailed photos of the shelves: http://artsy.net/artwork/jean-prouve-rack-and-pinion-shelves-2 Thanks in advance and all the best.
