I am currently changing over from a windows environment (that I have been working in since Rls 3) to a Mac pro with the most current version of Yosemite. Forgive me if I don't know a lot about Macs..it's all new to me. It's a pretty nice setup..dual video cards, 6 core processor, 24 gig of RAM...while I am getting pretty comfortable with the Mac O/S so far I have been having other issues with some software like Sketchup. I loaded 2015 for Mac, and I was starting to work on an new project. When I would choose a tool, like the tape measure, or the push pull, when I clicked on the tool icon the cursor would change to the appropriate icon but then the second I would go to use the tool it would change back to a black arrowhead. The tool would function normally.. I was able to take a measurement, and extrude a wall..and when I hit space bar it would change back to being select. I was wondering if anyone else has had this happen to them. Previously to this in the drawing I had imported a .DWG and had just finished erasing the parts I didn't need and tracing over some lines to turn walls into faces. All that time the tools worked perfectly and the cursor icons showed up normally... then all of a sudden it started to not show the icons when a tool was being used. I saved and quit the drawing, quit Sketchup and reopened it and it was doing the same thing. It was late Friday afternoon so I didn't try a system reboot.. I just shut it down and went home.... I was just wondering if anyone else has experienced this..

OK..I found the API token. I think I'm uploading..does it take a long time before the model appears on my models page?

OK I signed up for Sketchfab..I installed the up loader..now it wants an API code to upload the model. I have been looking for an hour..where do i find this code?

Hello everyone
I am trying to embed private models from the 3D warehouse using the embed feature. I keep getting a white box with an error message "There was an error displaying the model: [object Object]". Does anyone know if you can use the embed feature with private models, or if there's some kind of workaround? Thanks These models can't be public..

At least she got arrested for it...It's about time the authorities started cracking down on these stupid people that don't understand what an "emergency" is.

Wow....that tremolo bridge is amazing! Looks like a very accurate model and the render is pretty nice for a "quick". This model is going to be ridiculous once you put all the pieces together.
Really amazing work!

I figured you had to be working from some sort of a dimensioned plan..the details are too accurate to be just guessing from looking at a picture. All the other guitars you listed would be great to model...I love the older PRS's....and the SG has always been a favorite. As far as a hollow body, maybe something from the Gibson ES family?

Wow...super nice work. These are turning out to be very accurate detail wise. Can't wait to see it finished. Are you working from plans, an actual strat body or just photographs?

Linea I would love to see your rick model...I have been looking for some really highly accurate guitar models to use in studio and stage renders. Most of what I find on the warehouse and FF is OK but too angular, and lacking simple details...and I am not skilled enough to model them myself! You really have the curves worked out nice on this strat! Great work!

Yes this scene reeks of Stinkie! Dark, barren, peeling wallpaper, the tile looks dirty, and the model and table are somewhat obscured by the darkness. It looks like someone stole a fine architectural model of a building and are hiding it in a low rent housing project, with very little lighting!

Cool render Tom... definitely strikes a mood....like I need to go look for my anti depressant medication..

Wow....a tiger never changes his stripes....

Nice posting Ron. That video was ridiculous...it is so obvious that it was purposefully edited to make Obama voters look stupid...I'm sure there were correct answers that got edited out. And to be totally honest I found it to be racist and offensive...from the "chanting" African sounding music to there choice of where they interviewed people it is pretty clear that the creators of this video were trying to make the point that Obama was elected by unintelligent uninformed African Americans. The only thing missing was some "Dueling Banjos" faintly playing in the background. I would never post a link to that video with my name next to it thats for sure....

I wonder what the results would have been if they interviewed some of the thousands of Obama supporters at a university? Am I supposed to think from watching this video that the McCain supporters know all the answers to those questions? I highly doubt it...And because the people they interviewed couldn't answer the questions they should loose their right to vote?

Typical holier than thou, right wing, republican blowhard bull****

Allot of valid points...on one hand you get out of school what you put into it, but there are also some lazy educators that will pass kids just cause it makes their job easier. I have a 14 year old in high school, and it seems to me that at least at the level that she is at, if you pay attention and put in a decent amount of work you can do well in school. But as Biebel pointed out there is intelligence and then there is knowledge and also common sense. I see so many people out there that have masters degrees and have completed very high levels of education, but if there was a giant hole in the ground and you didn't tell them watch out for the giant hole, they would walk right into it.I have worked with guys in the music industry that had degrees in audio engineering but didn't know which end of the microphone the cable plugs into. Sometimes, common sense and life experience trumps higher education!

Robert did get back with me about a week and a half after submitting them. He stated that one of the models I did already existed (so I'm assuming that duplicates don't count) and didn't say a word about the other one.

We'll see if a cd shows up in the mail.

The offer says nothing about doing models that have not been done yet. If it was me I would have worded it better OR give a CD to each and every model but only upload one of each plan.

I hope you get a CD for each model you did, everyone should.

I agree...either that or he should post a list of the plans that have already been modeled, so people don't waste their time.
Nice work Fritz...what did you use to do the renders?

I want to start working on some of these..is there a list published anywhere that has the plans that have already been modeled? I don't want to waste time working on a plan that has already been done and I don't want to have to thumb through the whole list of models to see which ones aren't there.

I thank you for the link..you can never have enough good quality textures.
My point was that not one person could have been bothered with making some sort of comment or criticism, either positive or negative..thats all. Isn't that what the gallery is for..I thought anyways....but I don't want to sound like a whiny kid, so ..whatever...it's all good!

Great pictures Pete...in the first one you look like your holding your ass in pain...

I'm so glad I could host a texture link discussion by posting some renders of a birdhouse I modeled.

Pretty good prank....they did a good job making it look "official"...not that I have any idea what signage looks like in the UK lately..I haven't been there since 1997!

Pete...your in my neck of the woods...the Cape is only a few hours ride north from me! Sorry to hear about your ass ( boy, you don't get to say that very much) that is a bad injury for someone who sits down for a living to get....you might want to move your PC temporarily to a standing configuration!

Wow impressive work! They are all great images but I especially like the first one....awe inspiring!

I think that bath tub with the glass siding would be too sexy for my taste but nice, true.

Ya, but think about the ham you could press against that side piece...

I agree with Mike and Solo...keep the colors as neutral as you can..just splash a little color as an accent or to key in accesories..unless you never plan on moving....
