Looks great,if only we could add the purple haze!

I played an online game (Rogue Spear) for years against a buddy of mine and every time he would kill me in the game he would stand over me and squat over and over. It looked like he was humping my dead body and as evil as that may sound it was quite funny cause he would get killed most of the time by the other players still alive in the game while he was degrading my games body? I wasn't very good at the game but I played with people that were and it became more of a game to them to see who could 1. Kill and hump me and 2. Make it around the whole map of the game and hump me again! I know I know kinda sad but we were kids and we thought it was funny but any way it became so wide spread on the server we were playing on almost everyone was wanting in on it. So I changed my screen name to humpmetwice so anyone who wanted to hump me could easily find my games dead body lying helplessly somewhere in the game and have their way with it. The name stuck plus you never have a problem registering anything with someone else already having your name!

Thanks a lot!

I wanted to say hi to everyone here and ask some of the SU masters why has some of the metal building companies not looked into using SU more? I worked in drafting for more than 17 years for two pretty major companies and just this last year was laid off due to my multiple sclerosis and lack of work. Luckily I have been approved for disability so I will able to provide for my family and this also give me time to explore my love for cad and design when I’m able. I worked with AutoCAD 14 all the way to AutoCAD 2009 and used programs such as MBS and Quest ware. In my option with what I have seen so far with the plug-ins and ruby scripts for SU a couple of industry aware users could come up with a solution pretty easily! With the two automated cad programs I mention above in my option try to do to much at once. I don’t think you will ever eliminate the engineer or the detailer so why try? I say give the detailer something like SU with a load of useful tools and make everyone happy!! I have uploaded a small building I detailed a while back for one of the companies I mentioned and all together it took me about two weeks and I drew it in SU in about 2 days with a very limited knowledge of SU! Sure I use the cad drawings to look at that were already detailed plus I didn’t put the purlins or eave strut on yet but all the same I think it could be used! Please excuse my spelling; spell-check is angry at me today!

Thanks a lot! I guess its true, sometimes the most simple solution is the correct one?

I am making a small simple dynamic component that will allow me to change between hole sizes. The thing I'm having trouble with is when I change the X dimension I would like y dimension to change to the same size.Any help would be greatly appreciated !!

Hi I am new to this forum and Sketchup.I have been using Sketchup for about 3 months now and I love it! I came across this plug-in (sketchy physics) and it makes me love it even more!! My problem I need help with is I'm trying to make a nut tighten up on a bolt. I was able to get the nut to turn using the motor but wasn't able to get it to move up the bolt. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
