Thanks mate.

The main API issue with the v2017 changes was how exploded entities' IDs changed. Perviously if you made a temporary group and got references to its edges/faces etc, then when you exploded the group you could reuse those references, if they were still valid. With v2017 any in-group references are lost, all exploded entities get new IDs ! So all of the code using the old methods needs recasting so that it catches the IDs of the exploded entities, not there previous IDs. Another workaround is to give the group's entities' custom attribute IDs and then re-collect them after the explosion... This is possible: it's just a pain [PITA] to recode. However, there are some subtle issues that are still unresolved. In a few weeks I'll be at DevCamp... and then. hopefully, thomthom and others can help me track what's up with a few of my ExtrudeTools. I have now trapped all of the issues which I can see, and I ensure that start/commit_operations are properly set... BUT in a few of the tools, although they complete their work perfectly, when the user subsequently does an UNDO it BugSplats ! That is after that extrude tool has successfully completed and the commit is properly recorded !!

Dood, thanks for taking the time, much appreciated.

Thanks, there are several invisible lights as well as the hdri daylight. Twilight render v2.

Thanks guys, the original had a full height window but the light direction was rather confused so I blocked it up.

Thanks Bryan. Learning Maxwell now.

Thanks TIG, a pity just about everything has to be via a plugin but that's life. I will have to check that plugin.

Thank you,there are a few areas where I am not happy yet but I will remake those.

Thanks John, much appreciated.

Thanks dood.

This lesson must be learned with materials used in particular being essential. Apparently the regulation only requires the outer face to be fire resistant NOT the inner face which strikes me as an epic fail from the start. I am talking about the cladding.

A very sad day...again...

I had some brochures from various different furniture outlets, I think that was on a cabinet but I scanned the images and cleaned them up. I have lost most of my materials/textures so I will have to pretty much start from scratch.

Very welcome dood.

Thanks guys, yes my own design, pretty quick to make.

Thanks Bryan, there are some things I am still not happy about, like the APC which has changed a few times too. Someday I will settle on an iteration.

Going away for a while. I cannot reconcile the inability to create simple shapes with any kind of intelligent programming. Done for now. I am finding it impossible to make flat armour plate with depth (Extrusion) without corrupt faces everywhere. If it is impossible to do this how cane the product be considered mature and usable? I have decided to invest in Rhino and while I admit it too cannot be perfect I cannot see HOW it can be possible to make flat armour plate, extrude it and have it become unusable or corrupt.

Ta mate, I was measuring my new gaff today and it is less than half the size of this place but with my old cat not being on top form, there is less floor space for him to hide his "Movements"

There is only so much round in the house, I stuck with the 24 segments natively used in Sketchup. The paio doors will not work so will be changed to standard items. Few other problems and nothing that cannot be solved. Just wondered if you meant the structure. There are external pillars around the ground floor, four of them. Each floor level would have a steel skeleton with potentiall concrete block floors but the walls would be composite panels bolting together. The upper floor overhangs the ground floor by about 5 feet.
