Don't push it back, just undo. Pull up >> check >> undo. This does not help in recovering lost faces after closing the file, but atleast you can be better prepared next time.

The problem I have with Microsoft is that they believe to know how I want to used the software.

Agree. My pet peeve is auto bulleting in MS Word. Why does it think it knows how I want to number certain paragraphs!

Good work! I like the way the foreground tree shadow help to focus attention on the house. But I would like to append to Boyd's comment about the roof tiles: the sky background is a bit dull and too bright, IMHO.

Rascal,

What I want to comment (excellent!) and want to ask about your posted work have been done already. So I think reply is in order .

Your signature prompted me to look up the passage. So, did you pick it because

1. It is related to your line of work, as mentioned by Boo above, or
2. There are/is other reason(s) unrelated to your line of work?
   Just curious.

I won't push the RPS forum into public without Al Hart registering or the Kerky forum without Tomasz for instance.

My opinion to this is also in relation to the "Not yet registered" announcement in the new forum. Isn't it possible to retain/attribute a poster's name to a post even if that person has not registered? A dummy name, not a member, but identical to a username in the old forum?

Maybe I am dumb to all this, just voicing my opinion. The reason being, if waiting for some user registration is going to hold back full migration, the confusion over duplicate forums will be prolonged. Right now, I am confused where the latest happenings are. I come to the old forum here, activity is restrained; but it hasn't picked up in the new forum either.

I don't mean to overstress the moderators and volunteers. I fervently wish for them that the migration work could be automated.

...Bob the boss bobbed in, scowling, wanting to know what all the massive fuss is all about. Everybody wished the office tea boy (whatever that is) is around so that they can all lay their ignorance on him. But alas, he is not to be seen.

...Ross Macintosh! This incident is where his trademark expression originated. Ross is mighty agitated but on seeing office tea boy (whatever that is)'s SketchUp model on the laptop screen which is now lying on the pavement, he cooled down and helped office tea boy (whatever that is) to his feet.

Eric Lay had come to meet Ross and is extremely amused by the incident happening infront of him.

... sensibilities that now tells her that she should not be doing such a manly job as washing the station wagon. She resolves to leave it to Tim next time, even though she is the one using it.

Tim, in the meantime, is desperately trying to get intouch with Carla so that he can off load the day's stress over a drink or two and still get home early enough to avoid suspicion.

Let's start another fun little game just like the first one, this time it's story telling. Each poster continues the story where the previous one left off.

In the larger interest of things let's say we limit the number of protagonists/characters to a manageable level and keep each post succinct so that no one poster monopolises the story flow.

Let's start:

'I should be done with this model in the next one hour and hand it over for tomorrow's presentation', thought Tim as he looked at the clock and also at the setting sun. Just then his boss barges in.

And I bet you got a much better quality than the PhotoShop >> JPG >> Revit >> PDF route.

Jpg is a lossy compression, then you took it to another software which MIGHT* not handle raster very well and print to pdf from there. (* Sorry I have only AutoCAD experience and it does not handle raster well).

Bruce,

Your earlier reply to my post, where you talked about learning, is inspirational. I too like to learn new things (used to?) but I already feel like I am getting rough round the edges (Edson, don't laugh ). Just one instance, I don't watch much of National Geographic TV anymore. The boat under ice analogy I don't quite get.

Guys, I don't mean to distract this topic. Please carry on.

...your baby is so sweet.

Thanks. One of our neighbours told my wife not to take him outside often because it will make others jealous!!! He is now 4.5 months and nary a sleepless night.

Back to topic, the way you are building up camaraderie here is amazing. I always go through this topic not particularly for the knowledge ingrained but to 'feel' the exchange of knowledge. I assume you must be 50+, I wonder whether I would be as uptodate at 50+.

Happy weekend to you and warm wishes to your family too.

This thread rocks!! Thanks to Modelhead aka Bruce. Altruism rules!!

PS: Currently I have no interest in webpage building but this thread... how will you put it... sucks me in.

Oh Ross, you are spoiling me, just look at my post count. Anyway, it's a pleasure.

Hi folks,

Please see attached.

Just ideas,

Scott,

That's a touching tale, I think I have something to learn from it.

Before the birth of my son, whenever I get home in the evening I would just plonk myself on the sofa, tired. Now he monopolises that sofa but just seeing him smile (at me) when I reach home makes me forget the stress of driving home. BTW, he is now 8 months old.

A shot in the dark: could it be a shell extension problem? Eg. a right click context menu that gives you a preview of your avi files. Incompatible 3rd party shell extensions have been known to cause Explorer to crash.

I have had a simillar problem and the source was a particular avi file. After that avi file was deleted, everything is back to normal. Yes, it affected the opening of other video files but after its gone all others fell back in line!

So, Rob, I suggest you track down the last addition to your avi library immediately after which the problem started and delete that file. Hope this helps.

My imagination fails me but I think it definitely is saying, "Hello..." in the cutest way possible! That's a refreshing design.

Congratulations Paul, or rather congratulations to your wife Susan, please convey. What will be her title? Are all male MBE"s titled Sir? What about the ladies?
