Lewis, I should be registered well before then at the Avante. Ross McIntosh may be in by then too. Check with the front desk, leave a message if need be with your room#.
I'll try "linger in the lobby" around 6:00.
Regards, John Clements
I hope to see you both then.

Does it happen if you export a single 2D image as opposed to a series? And have you tried varying the font?
Really nice, Prince...although I really think you should add a few decades to the projected time period.
There's always Piranesi, which trumps in most ways the various Styles possible in SketchUp and will work on faces. However, it's rather pricey and I frankly don't like its interface very much.
I'll be arriving at SF around 1:30 PM, and I'll take one of the airport shuttle services to the Avante. I'll probably be in the Avante lobby around 6:00 or so, if anyone wants to share a taxi to Chili's with me.
I think that will work out nicely, Gaieus. I just checked and I was able to log in and start (although I didn't actually complete it) an album upload.
I don't know what happens if more than one person tries to sign in as "owner" at the same time...probably the system blocks all additional "owners" out.
Even non-owners, of course, can view the album if they have the proper invitations, and they may also leave comments.

"We're not in the Eighth Dimension. We're over New Jersey."
I suspect a little lesswould be Moore.
Perhaps an untextured version (hidden line/profiles with shadows)--or a Stylized NPR rendering--would be more effective than outright texturing. Why not try this out with one of Dave R's retro textures?
Anyone else notice this?
It's a Java applet, and the virtual model only covers Stockholm--and it's bogging down right now because it's been Slashdotted--but give it a few minutes. Even the trees are 3-D!

To start the applet, you need to check the box above it (a basic user agreement).
Should Google be worried?
Here's the company, C3, a subsidary (I take it) of Saab.
What was the technique for making the organic strands? Did you use Dale's subdivide and smooth tools?

so far i hate one program because i want to know it but i couldn t do anything in it
it s the 3ds max
I've use it professionally for an award-winning render house, own my own license, and I still hate it. And I hate Autodesk's damned extortion ("subscription") scheme. I'll take Blender any day for rendering/animation, and Rhino and SketchUp for modeling.
Thanks. Given my practice, this may be more useful than any other recent script. And if this is to be free, do you mind sharing the code (not making it an rbs, in other words)? I've never seen this sort of code, and I'd like to see how one approaches it.

Is there a function to calculate surface area in SU? It’s nice to be able to calculate area for non rectangular room plan.
Yes...select a face and right-click. Among the options in the context menu is "Area." There are further options for selected, layer, or materialfor limiting the area measurement.

Anyone else agree with me on this that actually uses Microstation?
No, but oddly enough I have a bunch of notes from a Bentley VP trying to get the school where I teach to buy into it. We're actually more interested (or rather, fellow SCF member and my department head Diego Matho is more interested) in their über-BIM package Generative Components (Norman Foster and Thom Mayne "approved," I should add). But GC needs Microstation just the same way Revit really needs ACAD.
I'll keep your reservations in mind.
Nice.
Asustek really is somehow fashioning itself into the inexpensive Apple "alternative"...and hopefully it will be as hack-friendly as an Eeepc notebook. By the way, SU runs dandy on both of the Eeepc notebooks I own. (Yes, I have two now. Don't ask.)
Look here and scroll down to see their tiny reply to the Mac Mini, the "Ebox."
Which hotel are we talking about? I'm staying at the Avante...and I should be in Mountain View by then..but I know that many are staying at other places.

...architecture isn't just the form. More important are the why's and the how's.
I just make them up as I go along.
It gets built or it doesn't--the client says yes or they don't--and after a certain point you die, it gets torn down, and in time everyone forgets about it completely.
I have had it happen. Usually a Bugsplat will shortly follow. Even if it does not and you can recover or undo to the point before the error became apparent, go to Window menu>Model Info>Statistics>Fix Problems immediately. Usually some huge list of errors will show up.
At one point, I found this happening a lot and found it was tied to a Ruby (since deleted, so I don't know if it is the current one of that name or not) for selecting all instances of a component at once. If the Ruby was used on a component while inside another component and when there were instances of the first component outside the current editing environment, bad things like this could happen.
On the other hand, sometimes it just happens. Be sure to turn on hidden lines if you try to fix it...there tend to be odd ones, nearly infinitely long, floating around.
