Again, I'm thrilled with 7.1 - I'm on a laptop w/ junk graphics card and SU7.1 enables me to work in any model I have tried - impressive! (so I will never go back) but (there's always a 'but') one issue I have is pretty major for me in disrupting workflow... the Alt-Bucket sampler eye dropper. It USED to work fine. But NOW in 7.1 it seems to sample the edges or something. Who in the world ever wanted to sample the material applied to an edge? (Why can we even apply a mat to an edge anyway - that doesn't make sense to me either.) So, I know that when using Select Tool you want the 'dominant' choice to be an edge... very nice. But when using the Material Bucket Alt-click Eye Dropper tool... this should NEVER notice an edge... it forces me to zoom waayyyyyy in on materials on a face (like trying to sample the mat on a soffit, for example) much more than I had to in the past, I don't remember ever needing to zoom in at all in the past. This wouldn't be a major prob, but often you are in a particular camera position you don't want to get out of just to sample a nearby material... so this is one major wish of mine for next SU update... 7.1.1? edit also, is it just me, or does the 7.1 distance sometimes come out funky? I mean, I used the move command and it said it was moving it 60 feet, but it actually was about 20feet... or I used the Extrude Line ruby and typed (1") but it extruded it about 10 inches... it's happened to me enough now that I'm actually getting a bit worried about it.

I still prefer your version, its truer to the painting and tells the same story

it is a buffer overflow in the code that checks the .skp file (Sketchup, Layout, the thumbnailer in Explorer) the idea is that you can run arbitrary code by looking to a malicious .skp file I tried the .skp that should trigger the buffer overflow but I got only "Unexpected file format" error message. Google is notified about the problem and a fix should come in the next update (after current 7.0.10247)

Je ne sais pas, mais c'est ce que j'ai crû comprendre, peu importe d'ailleurs. Les traductions restent des traductions, moi, j'avais envie de faire ça, mais je ne suis probablement pas encore assez au point. Et comme l'éditeur ne prendra pas la peine de le faire relire par un français qui connait le soft, j'avais proposé ça a Campus, mais comme je disais, Mme Montcorgé m'a envoyé des mails carrément désobligeant.Et n'a jamais tenue parole, puisque m'étant plaint de ces propos à plus haut niveau, ils m'ont proposé un livre gratuit, ils n'ont même pas été capables de tenir leur parole pour si peu. Simplement relire la version française couperait court à tout problème, mais même ça, ils s'en contrefichent totalement, on vend cher du papier, des manuels, livres techniques, tu parlent qu'ils ne vont pas se décarcasser. le pire étant J Y Arboit qui m'a poursuivi de mails pendant un temps fou, lui et son distributeur ont tout fait pour essayer de récupérer le torchon qu'ils m'ont vendu, allant jusqu'à prétendre que comme le livre venait de l'étranger, il n'était pas assujetti à la loi française, pas d'ISBN sur le bouquin, d'ailleurs, je pourrais mettre une page en copie, violant les lois du copyright, le livre est illégal en France, c'est assez édifiant. Je me demande ce que couvre ce livre annoncé sur SU ? En revanche, ne pas prêter main forte, je n'ai jamais dit ça, mais si on se pose la question pour ça, je suis inquiet pour le reste.

Perfect! This will work for me, I will do a little photoshopping and it will be fine. Thank you very much for for your assistance.

Seems only Grow is necessary! Just make in 2 parts! [image: qE5o_grows.jpg] Select the previous group "growed" and grow again Not a big deal [image: hwov_grow2.jpg]

Nice textures You are pretty good at making these Bruce.

The plug in worked really well but I saved a backup, this one may end up in the do not render pile. Has anyone had this trouble with photomatch before, could be my user error. [image: mxlb_ouch.JPG]

Thanks to all the smart people here too. If I hadn't learned of this forum and learned so much, I never could have won ... ....if I hadn't learned a few tricks...

Me and my buddy's were sending crazy messages to each other last night, it got hilarious rather quickly. Nice interface in texture mapping your face to animate.

Casaba, your icon is freaking me out.

They all appear to be concentrated on the old @Last offices in Pearl Street. It's funny that they aren't all in exactly the same location....obviously Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle in action; looming Black Hole for certain.

I was playing with the most amazing bug model made by the extremely talented Urgen. I did something to the texture and the renderer went crazy, I really like the way this looks. (And I started to draw bugs. [image: zyXA_buggybug.jpg]

Yes, I know the plugin to play Homer by pressing the button was written by Jim but AFAIK he used an Easter egg (maybe it was something else though). I'm just too lazy to ask

ok my machine is possessed .... I couldn't see them in your post but this one worked, maybe the gnomes did it I can see them now [image: 20090216201730_38s.jpg] thank you,

Sorry, I took it down because it was out dated and my newest model is too big to upload to the warehouse.
