In how many time have you paint the Van Gogh that I see on the right?

Not sure what you mean pilou, but that was the first image that was on 3D warehouse. If I had the time, Whisteler, Homer or Belows would have been a better choice

CIA Nuance
I just wonder what triggers such an "CIA nuance" impression?

• it's these typical ready-made grey or black man suits?
• or such a stupid button in the ear? - people who have voices in their ears should usually do a therapy
• and why has this dark van parked across the street for a few days now?

No, just created the dome, looked a bit "White House" made the wall, imported some 3D models. The first (free) 3D model, by "3D model people, google search" was the "suite" and the mood was set........blah blah......just created itself by least line of resistance.........

Oh and the "dark van".................ALIANS the Us Government has decided to outsource, inter solar surveillance expertise

Fair enough, I inadvertently converted to my currency. Still twice what I would pay for it.

But you already have SU 2015 Pro (as per your profile info), thus I'm sure if you wanted to upgrade to the latest version of SU (2018 Pro) then you would not be paying the full US$695?

I use pro at work but make at home for personal projects.

I'm sure we all know that too - and you were pretty fast for this good result!

and this CIA-touch must be here

Thanks mate gut the most surprised was myself

Hi all, yesterday i just walked to my computer, sat down and decided to play around to see how to make a 3D tassilated dome.......well i started at 3 and at 6:15 ended up with this, absolutely no plan but a model and render of what seems to be inside the White house with a CIA nuance Like I said no plan just organic fumbling. Has anyone else had a similar experience? Total time from non concept/modelling to result including render time 3 hrs 15 minutes. I would normally take 5 times that just to finesse a work.

...Then draw the line on that surface and remove the cube,...
... which is a very clever idea because drawing somehow curved lines in "empty space" isn´t easy at all ! - too obviously this "simple" idea to ever come up to me

Hi HornOxx, I used to design playground which involved a LOT of nets......necessity is the mother of invention. And yes the mechanical detail, from CJ was very nice

It may be obvious and you may work this way but i create a cube or whatever group it, and then pull it so a face meets where the centre of where you want the wire to be. Then draw the line on that surface and remove the cube, then follow me. Or use the line to tube plugin.

actually not required, correct is U$ 695.- (net).

Fair enough, I inadvertently converted to my currency. Still twice what I would pay for it.

I think trimble got greedy with the asking price for SU pro. They got it wrong say $300 US would suit me and others I speak to are of a similar opinion. I will not splash out $795 on pro plus paid plugins, starts to add up. They priced themselves out of the market for me. Blender is direction I am heading.

Thanks Dave, will look into that

Hi all, in a bit of a bind. I intersected a cube with a net, thing is I did not realise what a high poly count the net had along with hundreds of intersections. I am on a deadline and did not save the model. I am now in mt 20th minute of waiting for SU to calculate the intersections, what could possibly go wrong
I have the choice of waiting for the procedure to complete or shut it down. Will it autosave if I shut it down by clicking getting a grey out and then choosing "shut down"?

Hi Cotty, I uninstalled and installed again a few times eventually got it to work (great tool BTW!) Then shape bender dissapered so I had to reload it. Now I have Shape bender and Component on face but no tool icons just in the extensions scroll down.

Had trouble with the plugin. Can anyone assist?

Hi all, I have a bullet shape (sharp at one end and has a circular plane at the other) I also have a geodesic shape. I want to array the "bullets" on the geodesic shape the make say a "flower" I wish to make the bullet's circular bottom comply or become co-planar with each geodesic plane, ensuring the center axis of the "bullet's" center axis is perpendicular to the plane of each geodesic segment. probably one at a time. how can I, or what plugin could I use to achieve this.

Any ideas guys?

Legendary CJ Could you pass on how you achieved it? I would put that in the great modelling gallery it diserves to be there for sure. Have you rendered it?

Hi CJ, I wonder if this topic may be adapted to what you want to do?
However looks a bit like self flagellation to me

Hi CJ, if this does not answer you question feel free to get back

Nice work CJ

HI CJ, I thought your solution was pretty good. For what its worth I have had a very quick go using the intersect and following that path. I will be interested to see with what others come up with.
