@alan fraser said: Make sure that you do actually have the "Use Anti-aliased Textures" box checked in the rendering section of Object Info. That's all it took! I was sure it was checked, first time I've ever been wrong Thanks Alan, and thanks to everyone for your help and suggestions [image: xTTu_3.png]

@unknownuser said: thanks for feedback. please provide more information so I will be able to debug it: what OS and browser version did you use steps to reproduce the error if there are any sensitive info please email me to books@ regarding one click checkout we are working with our payment processing (FetchApp) to create a solution. Thanks for getting back to me what OS and browser version did you use -- Windows 7, Firefox steps to reproduce the error -- not sure what you mean by this. I clicked on a publication, went to PayPal, paid for it (eventually), and when I click on "Get Your Downloads", I get the error msg. (I just bought another one, same results, except this time it took quite awhile to get the email so that I could download the thing) Actually, for me, the error msg is secondary to the problem of having to pay for each publication individually. Not an earth-shattering issue, but it will become more of a factor as the number of publications increases

@hellnbak said: Ran across this on Ebay. It reads Google Sketchup..."it doesn't stink!" I had pair of those. Also a pair in black. (And they indeed do not stink - until you put thm on...)

I'd already prepared this page http://leslie-special.info/h8history.htm

Thanks, Dave. Just lack of practice, no excuse.

Oh, btw, I've started adding support for Fredo's update checker for my plugins. So that's one way to get some of the versions.

Hi Hellnbak, hi folks. Your path is not coplanar. This is why the face twist when following the path. Just ideas.

@edson said: pathcopy.rb by rick wilson does the same thing. Hi Edson, i know that one too. from Dave R tutorial or something. on making a lawn chair or deckchair. i think the pathcopy.rb have a little flaw that it might leave some components unaligned to the path. component stringer by the exhibit shows that it has the ability even to modify the alignment. don't know for sure.

Great! Will give it a try. Thanks

@cotty said: @jql said: I think the conclusion can be no other than... use components when you need them. Groups are better! I hope you didn't need 987 days for this conclusion? Ah! Unfortunately I just read this post yesterday! Alas so much to learn, so little time! I will use components someday this way... I... will... evolve! (it's just so dificult!)

Found it, used it, it worked Thanks

GoldenSim is apparently quite upset that I referred to the stolen Caddy as "my" Caddy. And technically, he's right. I did modify his original model for a contest that he was holding (see Topic http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=333&t=38739). So I just wanted to set the matter right. The model stolen was in fact my heavily modified/corrected version of his original basic model.

@hellnbak said: mere coincidence

Yeah. I did a google search for "spirix.rb" and found the web page. I printed the complete instructions and explanations for further study. Evidently this author has a sense of humor and he has a nice collection in the warehouse. I wish he would place a date on that web page to somehow indicate when he updates so as to give it some feeling of activity. He has three categories under construction with a completion date back in 2010. I would commend him for his talents and generosity, if I could. I don't have much presence on other websites, needless to say.

@marian said: Btw....they're rebooting Batman again. I think they want to make a Justice League movie a la Avengers and they need to fit all the other heroes. Geez they've just finished the trilogy... I don't really mind all the reboots, sometimes they turn out pretty good. To be perfectly honest, I never really cared for Christian Bale that much. My favorite was Michael Keaton. 'Spose Arnold is too old to give it a shot?

@marian said: Nice work, I like this one much better than the 1st roadster, it has an interesting combination of muscle car and hot rod. Thanks. I know what you mean, I look at the first one and say "Jeez, what was I thinking". I did like some things about it, the interior was pretty good. But hey, I learned from it, and that's always a good thing.

HOLY MOLY..this stuff never ceases to amaze me.

This my try with Shape bender and DrawHelix. This way with the first shape you can try multiple attempts modifying the line or and the path. [image: GBQL_horn.jpg] horn.skp

@lapx said: Thanks Dave! Your instruction help tremendously. Instead of using bezier curve to make the arc I used the native arc tool and weld with same result. Lapx nice.. looks good

Eric Sorry did not read your post close enough. I was not " selecting everything in the problem area"
