The universe was conceived in SketchUp, but due to the high poly nature of the project there was a crash resulting in the "Big Bang."

This is a fact I learned from 2,000 year old scrolls buried in my back yard.

LOL

thank you, Jean.
it was meant to be my homework after getting some answers in a previous post here Square Carnival Tent.
so i tried to learn and practice what i got there.

although i joined this forum about a year ago, i wasn't really following until a couple weeks ago. back then, this forum was something hard to understand

i am really glad i found this forum. thank you to all of you here.

Hi,thank you for your reply.But I didn't konw what you mean.You are saying the translator is not perfect,yes?

I think he's telling you about Google Chrome browser feature.
That might allow the browser to offer you to translate a webpage for you.
In your own native language setting. Though, I don't know about Chinese.

Google Chrome

if you downloaded and installed the Google Chrome, you may see and check these:

My tip would be: different versions save your life!

Keeping Sketchup 7 free at hand means you can import dwg files, and then open everything in Sketchup 8 free to do all the work!

that is interesting. i think i need to search for SketchUp 7 to download.

hi Jean,
yes, i can see the Share button there.
here is the link of what i have uploaded:
Square Carnival Tent
it will show two other models i have uploaded there also.
thank you for reminding me of that Share option.

thank you for the info. i have to learn more about that material things in kerkythea.

is the material would also work for Kerkythea?

yes, i do have an account. thank you.

[Edited] i did it. thank you again

Nontheless...yes ARABS not islam made those achievements. I fully acknowledge that the Arabs of the early secod millenium had a big impact on Mathematics, Astronomy keeping ancient Greek and Roman texts alive, composing beautiful poetry etc. Practically this is what made the European Rennaissance possible. All this was before they went overboard with religious zeal and banned everything and anything related to science and even some aspects of literature.
I also recognise that those same Arabs like some Europeans after them were indeed religious but that doesn't mean the credit is due to their religions.
Also related to the subject we were discussing not one of these achievements were ever due to some explanation in the qur'an or the bible they were all done through hard work and much thinking.

i see. i didn't know how skeptical you are in the subject. but to say that their religion has nothing to do with it, i may think as too skeptical.
if you ever know one, here's some saying from islamic source that might had created the environment to allow those achievements: "Allah will raise those who have believed among you and those who were given knowledge, by degrees. And Allah is Acquainted with what you do." (58:11)
"and say, "My Lord, increase me in knowledge." (20:114)
those are just a few to at least motivate them to seek knowledge. because it's part of the teaching. for that zeal etc, i guess you went overboard of it. a religion or belief were not a subject to judge by those who claim to be the followers. not to mention how many of them were responsible for those so called zeal.

what i see from our "discussion" here, we do have different frame of references. it was OOT when i replied and quoted a post before, about that big bang theory.

i have few sketchup files here. say, they are my homework trying to learn sketchup again in this forum.
now that i've made a few model and created them as components, what should i do to upload it to the 3D warehouse and to share them as downloadable components?

i hope those low poly and hi poly description aren't wrong. if they are, please help me understand what those terms are. thank you.

In most cases if not all, these claims are total hogwash, they are often based on some dubious wording in the books which can easily be interpreted however you want.
For these claims to be true they would have to have predictive power in the scientific sense and contributed to science in the past, but that is not the case. It's easy to interpret the books now with hindsight and new scientific knowledge in all the ways you want.
I'm more impressed by the predictions that Jules Verne makes in his books than anything in the so called holy scriptures.

first of all, it's your right to decide whatever that is in front you. so, it's up to you.
there are certain requirements to translate quran. let alone interpret it. for contribution in science, i think that our current numeric system we use commonly these days are arabic. or, would you perhaps prefer to write 1944 as MCMXLIV? and 1944.5 as MCMXLIV.V? there are; aljabar, alchemy, etc. to remind us a few.
for prediction, this link might give you an little idea The Verses in the Quran That Mention Future Events Which Later Came to Pass

i don't really understand by what you mean above comprehensively. but i do know that i wont give that much of chance to a fiction kind of books.

I'd like to know more about it.

i don't know the details really. but there are few things i could remember.
as they were old literatures i read quite a while ago.
one of them is this "La Bible le Coran et la Science" by Maurice Bucaille.
i don't know where the translated hardcopy is now.
you may be able to look for free pdf of it on the web. as i'd do too now.
cause this discussion remind me of it

here's a link with some short explanation of the big bang theory.
Creation of the Universe
[Edited]
using the same google search i've just checked this one too.
and it might be interesting as well. i've never seen this site before though.
Science In Quran

@srx said:

So I don't think this "human logic" of superman, or man - god kind of thinking can give us answers:
so for God to dare to punish us when we do exactly what he knows we will do with his 'gift', is frankly unacceptable double-think.

It simply is not our level of existence.

To prove with our pure mind YES, there is God, or to prove NOT there isn't...we can not do that. We can only believe.

Again Dostoevsky made experiments with his heroes to find the answer. The sense of good and evil deep rooted in all of us made him believe in creator. He searched inside.

you might become surprised if you know that in the scripture i believe in, there is confirmation about big bang, supernova, nebulae, smokes cycles theories. whatever they may call it in scientific terminologies.

Freelancer here, so I'm potentially at work all the time. I even worked yesterday (Thanksgiving) stopped for lunch/dinner and continuing today. I could do with a good cup of Java right now.

I'm just thankfull I have work this week.

interesting subject and conversation.
still can't understand or follow most of them though.
what do you think of these short lines below:

Say, "He is Allah, [who is] One, (1)
Allah, the Eternal Refuge. (2)
He neither begets nor is born, (3)
Nor is there to Him any equivalent." (4)

since there is no equivalent,
we may not be able to think about him using all that we have around as comparison.
anything that we could possibly see, hear or feel. with our senses and thought.
or, let alone draw a picture. even to get raw ideas about him.
i guess though.

i see. thank you both Box and Gaieus.
i believe that would be O'Brien and with Pen Tools?
there's only one named Rich on the list.
thank you very much again to both.

according to this SketchUp Plugin Reviews site, there's a plugin called Construction Line Tool by Jim and the site classify it as Essential Plugins.
but, i cannot find it anywhere here. any hints? thank you.

nice. especially without that chainlink facade.

have you tried to ask in the Kerkythea's forum?
i use Kerkythea too, but obviously not as long and as well as you do.
if you don't mind i'd like to ask about those people on the image.
are they 2D or 3D components?

quite impressing arsenal list. heavy artillery.
