True. I even have a 16-y-o niece. I'll pass the video to her parents.

That's kind of old actually. I remember however when I was almost busted at the Three Sisters Islands when I walked into the river and the cops thought I was going to jump off the Falls. (Who would1ve done such a stupid thing? It was freezing cold and snow and ice everywhere!)

I found UV toolkit, and my problem is GONE! [image: gRow_Text.Prob..jpg]

@kxi system said: Do you always have to shoot me down Pbacot? KXI, I don't mean to do anything like that. Just offering ideas--without actually having to do the work! Maybe I'll take a stab at the entrance to show what I think. Though I have enough modeling projects I can do. I think you're doing great. I am not a Palladio expert, or any sort of expert. I have a "feeling" however, that the projection of the upper level above the entry balcony is not great, partly from the sketch and the amount of span the side columns you show would be carrying, both physically and visually. I see the pilasters at the corners of the entry portico working with the central columns, although I don't quite understand the pilasters coming forward out of line with the rest. Hard to say what the source sketch is for, since it doesn't seem comprehensive at all. I guess that it is an "outline" of desired drawings, for the draftsmen to follow, filling-in with their own knowledge, to be published in much more detail. Peter

I don't use converter software, I let converter sites do it for me. But thanks anyway, I'll try it as soon as I can (I'm busy with my Walkman ATM).

@gaieus said: It can be cool but you must be very careful to make sure the roof is waterproof and to let the rain flow away easily. Hmm... I'll keep that in mind next time. The show I got this from was somewhere where they probably never seen winter before. @olishea said: stairs are very very wide! Thank you, my next house I plan to do a more elaborate set of stairs. Don't worry it will be narrow.

Its ok guys, I started my PC today and SU worked fine. If I still got this problem I'll bump this thread.

@driven said: Jeff, I like to see my menu meters, especially when using SU have you had a look at trampoline, I mentioned above, I think you'll like it and some of the other tool from old jewel, dock lock, painters picker john in the configuration i posted, the menu bar is still visible if you put your mouse up there (pops out like a hidden dock does__ possible through a little plist editing).. but yeah, i personally am not trying to get more SU screen space.. just messing around with plist files on a saturday evening

There is an API UI [User Interface] method that opens a URL - i.e. a 'path' to a web site or a file - be it on the www/internet or just somewhere your PC or local network. The http tells it it's a www link whilst the drive-path etc and suffix of the file name tells your PC where to find the file and which application should open it. So, UI.openURL("http://forums.sketchucation.com/") opens this forum's home page in Internet-Explorer or Firefox or whatever your default web-browser might be... For a file it's in the form UI.openURL("C:\\Users\\TIG\\Desktop\\myskp.skp") which would open the given skp file - for this your PC will know to use SketchUp. For a text file UI.openURL("C:\\Users\\TIG\\Desktop\\mytextfile.txt") it'd use NotePad.exe etc etc... However all these do is open another application outside of SketchUp. Even if you wrote a custom web-browser in say VB it would be external. To have it 'internal' to SketchUp you need something like a web-dialog BUT has has been said this is not easy to achieve with js etc alone... So, whilst it's quite possible to get a browser to open a 'link' that is given entirely with in SketchUp [or for that matter any other file-type opening with it's appropriate application] it will become a process that's separate from SketchUp itself - so you might as well open a separate browser session manually - unless you need SketchUp to link to something specific - e.g. by clicking on a object in the model that opens some external data source...
