I just watched an episode - it didn't really live up to my memories of the show.

I'll be there!

Well, I find this interesting. I work at the house, on the road, at 4 other offices. I have started using a small 320 gig HD. However, I have this fear that I will leave it behind, or have it stolen.

So thanks, for the info. I will be giving it a try. What I didn't know the drop box folder would show up in my directory listing.

Thank You

Ken

Yes - just looks like part of your documents directory when you install the application. I'm nearly as big a fan of DropBox as I am SketchUp 😄

18 months! don't worry man I share your pain sometimes I don't think my Avatar helicopter will ever be finished haha!
Good work, excellent model, what size is it coming in at? ill download it when my new computer finally gets delivered, might download it on Wednesday to the work computer on my dinner if i have time.

martin,

thanks for such a detailed explanation.

for what it is worth, i included an image of the kind of organization i use. for every project there is a folder that holds a group of subfolders, each one related to each kind of file related to the project. some are imput files, others are output files.

besides numbering different versions of a file, i also put the date on them.

as for file synchronization, i use dropbox (very easy to use, free and offers other capabilities to boot). as you can see, i am on mac.

Cool. I've wondered that, too. I also wonder how they get them down when the tower goes up inside the building.

taller crane or helicopter

I wanted to cheer when I saw these models; brilliant job!

Google must have been listening - today it seems they've enabled a link in the 3D Warehouse from your models to see your profile. A step in the right direction me thinks? eg: http://www.google.com/profiles/TheOtherMartinTaylor#

Here is my submittal.
A story is involved with this one.

This home is designed is for a homeless Vietnam Veteran, Ray Black, forgotten by a nation and dismissed by our healthcare system. Ray needs to live in a place that the sound can drown out the voices of guilt raining in his head. Mr. Black's home is made a scrap metal from a recently demolished steel mill. Ray welded the shell himself, and insulated the interior with recycled cardboard. The house is suspended from a local underpass in Chattanooga, TN.
