I watched a tornado go by our subdivision at the end of February. It wrecked a warehouse about half a mile from where I live.

I knew there were tornado warnings in the area a few hours before, but I'd just got home from a night shift so I didn't pay much attention. I was just sat upstairs sat on the computer when I heard a loud noise. It kind of sounded like a jet engine, or a motorized street sweeper, but a far cleaner sound. So I looked out of the window and a few seconds later saw the tornado moving past. I expected one of the houses on the edge of the subdivision to be hit, but they were untouched.

Don't think I've seen this anywhere on here, but the April Fools Day joke about SU being on Android tablets reminded me that the 3D layer is available on Android tablets now. I think it's an awesome tool and clearly an easy way to show off your Sketchup models on a tablet.

The 3D layer isn't available on iPhone's or iPad's yet, I guess that is something to do with the Google V Apple legal skirmishes and patent battles.

Autodesk Sketchbook Pro is purely for 2D sketching and painting.

Autodesk Sketchbook Designer is the more complex application where you can make massive edits to everything.

Autodesk Alias combines 2D drawing and 3D modeling.

There's a list of this type of program. It says Artcam Pro costs $7,500.

Don't know how much it costs, probably in the thousands, but Delcam Artcam is geared towards this type of thing.

Haworth, yes? The pub's called The Black Bull.

I recognised the street instantly. I went there a couple of times with my wife.

One time my wife and her parents went in to the Bronte Parsonage Museum. I didn't want to pay to bore myself, so I just went for a walk around the area. Anyway there was a horse in the field close by and it came up to me and allowed me to stroke it. Some other people came up to stroke it and it just walked off and ignored them completely. So after my wife comes out I tell her about the horse and we go to see it. But the horse was nowhere to be seen, so my wife concluded that I had an imaginary horse friend.

If that is the full facts of the case then 15 years does seem to be a ridiculous sentence. However, if he's got a string of assaults and robberies behind him then it isn't.

Thanks for the explanation.

My answer would still be no, because I don't store any of my data in that way, and I doubt I will in the foreseeable future. And if you're of a mind to worry about them losing your data, why would you use them, apart from as a backup?

I don't worry about my credit card details being hacked from a company like PayPal or Amazon. I think that if my CC number was hacked then the credit card company would reimburse any costs anyway.

I've only ever had one issue with a credit card being used fraudulently, and that was partly down to me anyway. I left a credit card in a glovebox and forgot about it. A month or so later my car was broken into and the card stolen and used. So the first I knew of the card being stolen was when I saw around 1,000 pounds on my statement. I called the company, and they said the balance was at around 3,000 pounds. But they said they knew there was an issue with the card being stolen, so they pretty much wiped the debt right away.

I do think that it's far more likely that people lose their info because of something they do, rather than one of these servers being hacked or going down. Most servers will have offsite backups and have numerous sites, rather than putting everything in one building.

No.

What are your concerns?

The only time I've ever responded to a question in the ratings was to answer in the model details section. Not the most elegant solution but an effective one.

Yes, you are rich.

I wouldn't buy a helicopter though. Or fly in one...

173 models uploaded to the warehouse, 145 accepted to GE. 2 drafts. None pending.

Going through a real lazy spell. I made a new years resolution to upload a model a day to the 3DW this year. I've done ONE model so far this year.

Why not!?

of course artisan should be free..if a more advanced thing is for free then a basic version shouldn't come at a price...

I know Sketchucation prides itself as a friendly place, but you can only push it so far.

The question is who was John’s original father?

James Cameron.

File > Save As

Click on the down facing arrow and you'll be able to select anything from v3 to v7.

Is Artisan finished and just waiting for the website to be finished, or is the release date there to allow you cross the t's and dot the i's of the coding?

Can't wait! Will there be an upgrade price for current owners of SDS1?

Special price for you of $200.

Why I use Sketchup:

I'm a football supporter, I'm interested in architecture, I'm particularly interested in stadium architecture.

Because of these interests the idea of creating my own stadium designs has always appealed to me. I'd looked around for design programs and never found anything that suited. I think I bought a football game that included a stadium design feature, but I think the feature was so limited I never used the program more than a couple of times. Most of the 3D programs are massively expensive, not to mention so complex that it would take years learning the program before I could even begin to do what I wanted.

So the progam wasn't there for me.

Until I found Sketchup.

Sketchup has pretty much everything I need to make models of stadiums. I use it because it works far better than the vast majority of other programs and it's free.

Darn, once I was even a co-author of an article in NG! And they ban me from reading it?

Maybe the article wasn't very good?

Lumion is now downloaded and installed.

I’m running a full version....

Is this thread an advertisement? I don't care if it is, but if they are throwing you a copy of the program in return for your review then it should have been made clear from the start what was happening.
