    • RE: Lock axis.

      And, NOW, when I draw from another reference point, locking into the vertical, makes it draw a line at a tangent from the reference point. Bleeping stupid.

    • Lock axis.

      I am used to being able to lock the axis of a line but this does not work in sketchup 2016, is this a bug or an intended change/mod?

    • RE: Segment number restriction.

      Thanks guys, it was not a problem until recently and I am certain something has changed, this is a problem only with v 2016 rather than prior versions. Something I should have mentioned.

      BTW, these 'arcs' are several feet across.

      Agreed, something of the goldfish bowl hypnotism about it, oddly enough I found myself looking for the trains...

    • Segment number restriction.

      I did not see this under improvements so I will put it down under Bleepin' thing. How daft is it to restrict the number of facets in an arc???????

      A brilliant image, one for the album.

      Just a thought, does that van have a current MOT? With smoke like that it has to be a fail...........

    • RE: How Deep Is the Rabbit Hole?

      Quite likely, and the potential for anything to be done about it is approximately diddly squat.

      Our politicians hate to have to make a decision that puts them on the spot so will dither as usual and people will continue to die for no good reason. FCOL, our politicians cannot even prevent incompetent surgeons from operating with standards that should shame the surgeons themselves into retirement. What politicians ARE good for is sitting on the sidelines and patting each others reputation on the back like the good ol' boys they truly are, nothing changes nor will it ever.

    • RE: How Deep Is the Rabbit Hole?

      I know there are still routes for arms sales that are quasi legitimate where certain government departments will 'allow' shipping of arms and munitions, usually via third party nations where currency and 'favours' are used to buy the services of a third party to hide the source of these sales. I know most governments will deny this but this has been going on for a very long time and will not cease in the short to medium term. To be honest, I doubt very much that ANY government is totally clean in this respect.

    • RE: Support/maintence, subscription, whatever...

      @juju said:

      yeah, I hear you, I got my love-letter reminding me that my maintenance & support will be expiring soon, so soon that it is 8 almost 9 weeks from the expiry, that's 2 months, that's 1/6th of the period...

      talk about making sure the money keeps rolling in...

      That is nothing. I used to have a Nat Geo subscription and they started telling me my subscription period was running out one month after I paid for it, and kept 'reminding' me every three to four weeks. Needless to say I no longer have a nat geo subscription and they have agreed not to bother me.

    • RE: Meanwhile in Brussel/Bruxelles/Brüssel

      Actually, and I really believe this, you might just have the nail on the head with this one. No, it would not be easy to implement but if for example, what we called Op Granby had been allowed to come to a complete end and the coalition had provided security, would we be where we now are? If the local Islamic nations had provided security rather than the divisive 'non believing' nations? I was one of those who volunteered from civilian life for that 'action' and like a lot of others, my health is failing because of that. I did NOT volunteer to kill Muslims or anyone else, I volunteered because people were being murdered, they just happened to be of the Islamic faith. I could not do otherwise and call myself a Trekkie, sound silly? I believe that one day we human beings will through intelligent cooperation cease killing each other for our differences and will instead, help each other because of the things we all have in common. Believing something that there is NO evidence for, I believe THAT is what makes a faith.

    • RE: Meanwhile in Brussel/Bruxelles/Brüssel

      It is truly sad that yet another bunch of crazies are hijacking Islam in a bid to recreate a truly holy war. If it war it is NOT holy in any way. I have met and worked with a lot of Muslims and they are just as decent as anyone else on the planet but I saw not long ago a BHUDIST monk talking up killing Muslims because of their faith so now hope we have got to the bottom of the decent into madness so we can start clawing our way out of it.
      police with guns on our streets is just a reaction to a threat and not a police state and will only be the case while the threat is so high but I do agree we need to look into security again. As long as we do not go all Apocalypse Now all over the place we should be OK.

      It would make a very nice nightlight for a child's bedroom.
