That is the reason for proof loads and the bonding beads / wires I was discussing above. If you do the joints correctly then the wood will fail before the glue joint does provided you get the correct bond line thickness. If you do a search in mags like Fine Wood Working they have presented testing showing various joints and the load carrying capability. The results will probably surprise you. I usually build a test model first to work out problem areas and that is what failed so no big loss except some time .

Looks good to me.

As long as it is not stand alone I would not worry. You must plan on someone setting or even standing on it ( children). Beating them after the fact does not help

Maybe you'll find something here:

Wow... I am having the exact problem. Do you by any chances have Windows XP SP3 installed
on your machine?

Update: I updated the Nvidia video card driver and the problem went away. So the previous driver may be broken.

Idk, he could be a kind benevolent ruler. He seems happy, in an "I just spent 15 years of my life on a model car" sort of way.

Aha...
Well, thanks - at least for that very last line (now I can hope I'm not alone in the universe who does not understand it 😄).

IF 1 gallon (US) = 3.78541178 litres...

The UK petrol[eum] ('gas[oline]') prices fluctuate by location and also week by week; but they seem to do nothing but go up since the start of the year. Currently it's just over £1 per litre - that makes a US gallon about £4. Since there's currently about $2 in £1 that means that in the UK we are paying the equivalent to someone in the US paying $8 per gallon... plus/minus 15 cents???

Thirty-plus years ago in the UK when fuel rocketed in price within a matter of weeks and it rose up to ~40p per gallon(Imp), everyone said that there'd be riots in the street when petrol eventually hit £5 per gallon. We're not quite there yet, although we're 90% of the way with it at about £4.70 per gallon(Imp), BUT in terms of disposable income I guess that we're earning about 10 times more, so fuel is 'pro rata' only ~20% MORE expensive than it was back then...

In the same time frame beer has about doubled in price - 'pro rata' on your earnings !!!! What was three/four/five beers for one pound is now one beer for two/three/four pounds - depending on the beer and how 'posh' the bar is !!!!

OK, I've just tried again and funnily it said I entered either a wrong username or my password was wrong.
I use FF and I make it remember my login data on my home computer (only). I looked there and there was "Gaieus" but there were way less *s for the password than my normal one. I re-entered my password and it finally let me in (I actually checked my password manager in FF settings and there the correct password showed).

Anyway, I'm in. I hope you guys didn't have a hack again!

Im just not exactly happy with the way that came out. And to top it off it took 5 hours to render on my 6-7 year old computer lol. I dont think ill be attempting that one again.
The bronze doesnt look right and i made the eyes too low poly. Plus i forgot to put a black "felt" pad on the underside of the bronze piece that rests on the glass.

As daiku says the accuracy of the volumes for curved surfaces is only as accurcate as the number of facets you give those faces - number of swegments in the arc etc...

Ensure that all of the faces are in the same orientation (use context-menu orient faces) and every part of the object has a face so that the volume doesn't rty to 'leak out' ! In fact v2.0 orients all of the faces in the volume it makes for you... BUT better safe that sorry...
To ensure there are no other complications (at the moment) I recommend that you keep discrete volumes as separate groups - otherwise there can be confusing - imagine several touching 3D shapes atht are otherwise separate volumes - sometimes the calcualtion process can get muddle as to which face belons to what...

There are fixes in the pipeline to trap these, but...

I'm not going to help - I've never used it so do not know anything.

Why not ask in the ruby discussion forum? 😒
Oh yeah, I suppose that would help lol! Well thanks anyways.

Anyone have any suggestions regarding this?
Im far from "good" with Kerkythea, or even at modeling, and am always looking for tips on this stuff.

pretty cool, thanks

Have you considered getting the Haynes manual? see link, they normally have very detailed isometric drawings, it might help if you are going to model it.
Hey that isnt a bad idea! I think my uncle has tons of automotive repair manuals laying around so I can just ask him if he has the one for my car. Thanks for the idea 😄

On the other hand buying that would be a good idea just to keep in the car since I usually would rather do the repair myself rather than pay a dealership. For example, the dealer wanted $1300 to replace the head gasket, and almost as much for the wiring harness. Well screw that nonsense!
Since the car had been sitting for almost a year the wiring harness was chewed up by squirrels. So in the process of replacing the head gasket, we also fixed the harness since you need to remove the header to get at it anyways.

Total cost: around $150, and about 3 hours of time.

Good find Tavi, that site will be useful.

Yeah, I just figured that out actually 😄
It is indeed a double click, and I think something was causing it to register as a double click.

At any rate, it seems to have stopped now, a fact I am grateful for.
Thanks for the reply at any rate. Now I think I'm off to figure out what was causing it to read any sort of contact with the scroll wheel as a double click.
