Something I do find to be a pain is the lag between selecting a new tool and the tool being ready to use. There is a significant lag and not something I have had before. V8 does not act like this. Only twilight render plug in so far so it should not be that but, note sure to be honest. Not something I will fret over but it does nag a bit.

Win or Mac Mike?

Windoze Mike, nothing I can see explains it, I could do a reinstall and see if it is just a blip.

Moderator wand? I've never heard it called that before.

I suppose it depends on where the user sticks it.

My two pence worth. They COULD have built some bridges here and just released the 'upgrade' free. Not exactly something bean counters would like but coming from the viewpoint of a user, the problems in the program that have been ignored for so long could have been smoothed over with a bit of confidence inspiring publicity.
I think they missed a seriously good opportunity to start fresh without the prior bad blood being part of the mix, that and a little more information.

Sketchup has good points as well as bad and having looked around I will acknowledge this. Why some problems have survived as long as they have confuses me but, bean counters industry wide STILL have too much influence over the fix bugs or bring in shiny new features arguement. My prime premise still stands, why point out the simplicity of sketchup and then struggle to fit new applications within it? Why when there are basic items that require fixing? The change to the extentions is worthwhile imho, I know that independent ruby scripters kept things rolling for some time but frankly this might be a mechanism for proper control, removing scripts that are not worth the download time and ease stability problems.

If you want me to list all the issues you obviously missed the last few years here at sketchucation, we all know the things that could and should be simply done to improve the program. My two pence worth.

I think you nailed that presentation. Nice.

Thanks Pete, not seen the movie, is there supposed to be a link I have missed?

Fantstice work in all respects, my only question relates to the level of the water and rail track. Not seen anything that close to the water before but picking at nits really.

Hi David, your ARTwork is fantastic as always. A true artist, thanks for once again brightening my day and making sketchup woes vanish, for a while at least. You should be making a fortune from these.....

I copy them and use them in my architectural renders (I hope you do not mind) from time to time, they are not used for commercial purposes but they are a great addition to a picture frame for living rooms walls etc.

Truly marvelous work Sir.

Very kind, thanks.

"Student room"?

Never seen a student room that tidy. Nice render though.

Is there a problem on the kerkythea site?

I have been unable to login for a while, I basically cannot do more than read threads and have no idea what can be wrong, any clues out there?

Round corner does not work on that model and frankly I can do without the hasstle of playing around with something like that. The resultant mesh is a disaster and even if I scale up x100 it makes the whole thing look like a five year olds attempts at building a space station. Probably more useful on larger objects or furniture where the mesh may work better.

Not meaning any insult here just my experience with THIS model.

Very nice, as they say, less is more.

Just a quick point I left out earlier, top end music playing devices are still available with gold plate valves. They are apparently able to provide a 'warmer' tone than pure digital apparratus.

Sorry Mike, not thinking.

"I'm guessing its called a "kick" bucket 'cause people push it around with their feet".

Yes, afraid so. The surgical team can move these bowls without desterilising their hands. Very foot friendly. We used to have races sitting in them during slow periods and long corridors can see quite high speeds but they are not too good in the corners.......

Mike, the buckets are used for soiled sponges and swabs, you need to keep them together for the numerous counts that go on during a surgery, they have radio opaque stripes so you can x-ray a patient if you lose any. It does happen sometimes.

Cheers guys, Oli, I forgot about round corner completely. Some days I wonder, mind you with so many plugins to chose from how does one keep up?

I am more used to the term 'running bowls' to describe a small bowl for discarding waste from the steril surgical tool area. People surgery though so it might be different with vets everywhere. Just for interest, not correcting anyone.

A valved docking station for the i-pod classic.

Definitely worth a chuck or three. Very chucleicious in fact.
