Now it is completely free even for commercial use. Only proviso is that if you or your Company earns more than 1m USD per year.. Sounds almost to good to be true

RE: PFAS chemical exposure (Heads up)
@TIG said in PFAS chemical exposure (Heads up):
Liam, get as well as you can soon...
Reminded me of this dickwad
Thomas Midgley Jr. has been named a βone-man environmental disasterβ for two big reasons. He was one of the early pioneers of chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) β compounds that became widely used in industry β and which were destroying the ozone layer. He also invented leaded gasoline and insisted that it was safe to use.
Perhaps there is a god, because after that he got polio and was partially paralyzed, he invented a pulley contraction on his bed to move him, but one day he became entangled in it and was strangled !
Interestingly we also used a chemical in fire extinguishers BCF or Bromodichloromethane (Halogonated hydrcarbon) the yellow fire extinguishers. I do not blame these inventors, I think the intent was good, and the bad unintentional.

Diagnosed with prostate cancer 1 week ago (prob wont die of it, but with it fortunately)
Really sorry to hear about your recent health issues. Wish you the best in your fight and a full recovery too.
Leads, asbestos and now PFAs. Will science/engineering ever get to a point where we stop treating ourselves as test dummies?
Thanks mate, thing is, my Government has recently passed the ADF Firefighters scheme, I will be compensated and all my medical bills will be covered by the Government and even though I did not do active service I will be treated as a returned injured war veteran with all the benefits, which is substantial. However please don;t think I am a frail invalid I am a strong fit 65 yo guy who walks an average of 12km a day, and do not look my age. So am pretty positive about life, but angry with this situation, and how many others may pay the price,

PFAS chemical exposure (Heads up)
I have had a bad run in the health department for the past 10 years
Heart attack
Open heart surgery
Renal cancer operation within the month of the open heart surgery
Stroke
Vestibular migraine (4 years constant and undiagnosed and unpleasant)
Diagnosed with prostate cancer 1 week ago (prob wont die of it, but with it fortunately)Why am I sharing this?
Well there is a chemical (Perfluoroalkyl and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances) or PFAS. this chemical does not occur in nature and was, I believe, invented by 3M in the 1930's.
In my first 8 years of work I was a firefighter. Seems I/we were exposed to massive amounts of this chemical as it was in our fire fighting foam 3M (AFFF) we would do a foam test with this substance every day and I would fill up the foam tank every day it would glob up and hit us in the face and mouth. Additionally we would use it to wash our dishes. I have been covered from head to toe in this stuff and know what it tastes like.
Anyway it seems this stuff is in a lot of stuff including Scotchguard fabric protector amongst many other products. PFAS is known as the forever molecule because it will NEVER break down. It is now in groundwater and the Oceans
Just thought I would do my bit to educate others.The list of illnesses that PFAS causes includes ALL my list of illnesses.

RE: My City
Hey Thomas, the economic driver is mining, Iron ore, gas, Lithium. Alumina, Nickel, Base metals, gold, Mineral sands, coal, diamonds as well as the pearling industry. Seems to be a bit boom and bust on a 5 year cycle. WA seems to attract a lot of millionaires from around the world due to the lifestyle and climate which is Mediterranean. The state of Western Australia is 4 time the size of Texas, so we giggle a bit when we hear how Texans brag about the size of Texas. The fishing is great. and to the North we have more coral than the great barrier reef it is just more spread out. Agriculture is also very big. As is our Universities that attracts a lot of overseas students. We have the radio telescope in the world with 130,000 two-metre-tall, Christmas tree-shaped antennas. It is quite expensive to live here but the wages are relatively high, but generally inline with the rest of Australia.

RE: Computer Specs
How much vram on your 4060? What render engine do you use? I have just been down this rabbit hole

RE: Kitchen render
Overall pretty good I would suggest moving the texture on the island the grain is duplicated on the end and side.I would dress up the island a bit also with a bread board with cheese or other item. Perhaps a glass bowl with fruit. Maybe something in the foreground perhaps a dinning table with flowers in a vase or something. Perhaps an open magazine on the table. I print on the wall that I have painted in white. Maybe some cacti or plats on the windowsill.
Maybe experiment with depth of field on the dining table in the foreground.l have attached an image suggesting a better composition as there is too much empty space on the bottom right.
Just suggestions

My City
I live in Perth Western Australia. My City is all grown up now, it being a sleepy town when I was a kid. All these images are from within 15 Kms from the CBD. Perth is the only big city in a radius of over 2,000 kilometres, it is often called the "most isolated big city in the world" I am posting to share my City. If anybody wishes to come and visit I will buy you a beer

RE: I can't do anything with Sketchup web version
Additionally I opened the same model and I could apply textures, then after about 10 mins I get a bug splat message and then it goes into uncooperative mode again

RE: I can't do anything with Sketchup web version
Nothing happens at all, it just acts as if I never gave the command

RE: I can't do anything with Sketchup web version
@Box Thanks Box but as per the image I cannot explode. I cannot draw a line , apply a material, or select and delete a simple line.

I can't do anything with Sketchup web version
I cant do anything with Sketchup web version. I think the max file supposed to handle 100Mb but my model is only 34Mb but I cannot do anything with it. I can move the model but that is it. I note that importing a model of 34Mb only gives me a choice of importing as a component and am not able to explode it. I am using sketchup web as my SU Pro license has run out and cash flow does not allow me to buy for another 7 days,
Does any body know why SU web is unusable and suggest a remedy?

RE: Upholstered furniture
I have always been so impressed with your work alvis, amazing Pardon my ignorance but are you using subD for the modelling?

RE: new Renderengine?
Encase you are still having problems ( But I think Datasmith is the issue for you) Enscape is a very easy solution with almost instant results. It is about 10 USD per week on a monthly plan.

RE: new Renderengine?
How are you importing SU into TM? I do not use the sketchup plugin but use datasmith only. I have probably imported SKP into TM a few hundred times without any issues at all. So do not export SKP into TM. Import Skp to TM.

RE: For fans of aircraft modeling
Great modelling and lighting. The metal materials are insanely good
