I'll share smaller photos in the future.
No no, please don't!
Speaking for myself, I'm tired of photos that are just too small to see any details, of clicking on a photo and it's just as small as before I clicked on it.
In this case, bigger really is better!
I am very impressed with your skills 
Two questions -
I love the extra large photos, but was wondering - how did you overcome the forum size restrictions when posting your images?
Given the weight and construction of the table, wouldn't there be some dangerously weak spots when moving it?
Just curious

Nice... Now drive it...
import export for blender to rFactor 2
program to import sketchup models into rFactor 1, rFactor 2 Asseta Corsa, GTR, etc...
Dang, wish I understood this stuff, it would be interesting to see some of my cars in action 
Well, I guess I'll just bite the bullet and hope for the best
I assumed it was a plugin based on previous posts to this thread.
My real questions are - what might have caused it, how much should I worry about it, what sort of damage could it do, and is there anything I can do about it?
Here's a list of all my 2015 plugins/extensions. Don't see anything similar to what is referenced in the error msg.
I have stopped using SU on my main computer, using backup computer until this thing is figured out.
I would love to contact the plugin's author, but what the heck is VCtools? I've thoroughly searched my entire computer and cannot find anything.
Any ideas?
@andybot said:
what's vctools? maybe you need to reinstall that plugin?
Thing is, SU is working just fine.
You know what they say "if it ain't broke...."
Just got this kinda weird error msg, never seen it before and was wondering if anybody knows what it means.
Really nice work
If you can make it using nice old wood I'll take two
These look great, very realistic!
I have used chains in several of my models, and, like you, have been connecting and adjusting them link by link.
Very tedious and time-consuming.
By coincidence I am working on a model that will have a number of chains (complex chains 
), and I have been putting that off, hoping the Chain Fairy will visit me while I'm sleeping and use her magic wand to insert them for me.
I've never used SketchyPhysics, figured it was way beyond my tired brain. But after seeing what you did with it I've been checking it out on the off chance that I can grasp enuf of it to maybe get something useful done. Downloaded a bunch of web pages and a couple dozen videos and whatnot.
I'm not very hopeful, but will check them out and see what happens.
Who knows, maybe the Smart Fairy will visit me also

Nice work guys... Nice method Rich. An interesting project. I saw one online that used plywood sheets and created a large and rolling topographical map and was then filled with glass and in the end it made a beautiful body of water cut from earth.
Only a few thousand...
Wow, I really like the looks of that Abyss table, absolutely mesmerizing. Don't know why they are limiting it to just 25 copies after working on the design for a year. Unless they are being realistic about how many they will sell at that price! And you would think they would be a tad more specific about the type of wood used, instead of just saying "high-quality wood". And they give the dimensions, but not the weight. All that wood and glass gotta weigh quite a bit (unless their idea of high-quality wood is balsa )
I would definitely cover it with bulletproof glass or something unbreakable, can't imagine what it would cost to replace one of those custom glass layers.
Definitely gonna get one or two of them, just as soon as I buy a lottery ticket (and win)
Actually I was working on this, but somehow, possibly during one of my backups, the file just disappeared
Just didn't have the heart to start over. Oh well

I would take a very very wild guess that hellnbak is not on facebook. .
Actually I am on Facebook. Only joined it to be able to do something, can't remember what now, a few years back. Minimal profile, just never got around to deleting the thing.
See, I am "social" (NOT)

The link works for me hellnbak. I suspect you are an isolated case because no one else has mentioned it. You can find the group on Facebook by a traditional search method. It's called show share learn. I take it your interested in entering he comp ?
Yeah, I've been an isolated case most of my life
No, not gonna enter the competition, I did my thing modeling a gas station a while back, that's enuf architecture for me (was going to put a "wink" here, but they've changed it to one of the really ugly new-style smilies, and I won't use them)

You can find it here in sketchup .3ds and obj:
Nice work, but be forewarned, after I clicked on the link given it would not let me go. Had to exit my browser and start over. Not a big thing, but annoying
While I too noticed some repetition in the stone textures, I didn't feel the need to say anything about it because I don't feel they detract in any way at all from John's consistently amazing work (which nobody here can come close to touching).
And I noticed them only because I was specifically looking for them, and the only reason I was looking for them is because John's creations are so perfect I always feel the need to try and find something a little less than perfect. Just to make myself feel a little better about my inadequacies. Perhaps that is also why others scrutinize John's work so hard.
I very rarely find anything.
Please keep the masterpieces coming, John!
