RE: Coming Soon:Profile Builder
HOLY CRAP!

It's like you went to the Googleplex and turned the place upside down.
That's amazing. I will be buying!

RE: Non-beta Layout Version?
I really hope Google sort Layout out, it is so near. The lack of vector output is IMHO the biggest problem.

RE: Any thoughts on a SketchUcation Members ????
Pbacot everybody will have to put their ego aside (nobody in this community is egotistical or arrogant anyway). I think the idea of one designer is a pretty outdated idea these days. Are we striving for iconic architectural masterpieces? Function and budget will be more important.

RE: Any thoughts on a SketchUcation Members ????
Mike I am very interested in this, great idea. Count me in. I think they're could be many uses for our combined services, probably not just in the fields of architecture and education. A while back I was commissioned by a charity to just draw a simple 2d map of a shanty town in Gambia. The charity workers there had no map of the area. Luckily the resolution of the area on Google Earth is very good so the charity workers went door to door collecting info; mostly they took the surnames of the residents but some of the buildings were shops, cottage industries etc. I traced the map off the g.e. image in cad and then typed in all the detail. It took about a day but the resulting map was useful.
Obviously our focus will be SU based but I thought this is a good example of how there might be lots of things that we might not at first think of that could make a big difference.

RE: Cotton Mill model
Tom originally the roof was grass as cotton pulp has to be kept damp, they put sheep on the roof to keep it short.
As for the drainage I think the supporting pillars are hollow and carry water into the drains. Considering the age of the building it is still in very good condition.
Roos, cuurently the building is empty.

Cad munkey, I've suggested the yorkshire contingent of this forum meet up for a while, interested?
Remus (and everybody else for that matter), what happened to the UK bootcamp thread? Maybe needs revisiting?

RE: Cotton Mill model
Sections and method. I need to remove all of the construction lines. I aimed to model the building to a BIM sort of methodology with components and layers that allow the model to be split into seperate floors, 2d plans etc.

Cotton Mill model
Hi all
I haven't posted anything for a while so I thought I'd stick this up here. It is a large 1900's grass roofed mill in Leeds known as Temple Works that was based upon the temple of Edfu in Egypt, some pictures and info here;
http://www.holbeckurbanvillage.co.uk/history/temple-works.htm
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Temple_WorksReally good comparison photos of Edfu and Temple works here
http://www.flickr.com/photos/phill_dvsn/2778443532/This is part of a larger city model, partly done by me, partly by colleagues and other practices, unfortunately I can't post images of that because of copyright. The mill model needs some clean up, but I was working from some fairly shaky plans so alot of the modelling was a process of working out how it all fitted together.
I'm going to try doing some renders of it in kt.

RE: Components and materials forum posts
Making takes time, and then to freely share your efforts is a selfless act. Contributors are saving everybody else alot of effort and probably saving the professionals time and money too. I have to agree, it is nice to say thanks.
