This shit makes the Manchurian Candidate look tame.

You made my day... thx.

The greatest artists of the time were the one's who rebelled against the church, so in that regard I suppose you are right.

I'm just looking for a decent chocolate chip cookie recipe...

I assume this is kinda what you wanted.

There you gogo solo.

70% of Americans now agree that Bush is a disaster.
Just two presidents have had lower approval (Richard Nixon and Harry Truman) than President Bush, and none has had higher disapproval in polls since 1938.

Dear Paris,

I would draw my square and make it a group. I would then draw my post/spindle at one corner of the square and then make it a component. I would then move and copy the post the required spacing, and then use *N to repeat the move/copy N times. Lastly, I would rotate/copy the array around the centre of the square to complete the four sides. Rotate 90 dgrees first, and then enter *3 to complete the square.

Regards,
Bob

Thx Bob,
It didn't occur to me to rotate within a square.

Susan,
That's pretty much how I did it.
The first time the wall was 6" thick and the push-thru became convoluted, so I reduced the thickness to an inch and it worked perfectly. I then created a glass panel using an amber 60's bottle glass pattern. Duped the cutout wall and sandwiched the glass. Looks great when you look thru the silhouette window into the set model. Now all I have to do is build it.

Thanks.

Solo thanks too.

@solo said:

Oh!

Then yes, trace and pull.

I pasted the silhouette on the wall, traced with draw freehand, then pushed it through. Now I'm going to duplicate the wall, create a transparent middle bottle glass textured window and sandwich it in the middle.

Not sure if I made myself clear.
What i want to do is make a window shaped like a gogo dancer.

What took you so long, Solo!
So, do you think i should take my silhouette (a gogo dancer) and paste it to the wall, then trace it and push it through?

This seems to be my day for questions.
I need to cut out windows in a silhouette shape. Suggestions.
Thx.

Pete, you are a shit disturber of the highest order.

Hey,
I'm having a brain fart regarding how to place equally spaced spindles/posts around a square.
Help please.
BTW, Solo the cage solution worked out perfectly. Thx.

Only people with above average intelligence should be allowed to run for office...

Paris

here is a fast and dirty idea, I used follow me and array (rotate copy)

Thanks Solo, that's the route I took.

I figured it out... thx.

Hey,
I need to design a 6' diameter GoGo cage for a movie set. Think human scale cylindrical 'bird cage' with a domed top. Can someone suggest the most efficient way to space the bars around the perimeter and create the ribbed domed top.

thx.

Tell me where you're from, Paris, and I'll be glad to dig up some dirt on your cultural history.

I would be pleased to tell you where I am from, however, now that I know where you are coming from I would be concerned that you would burn a cross on my lawn or poison my dog. I think this subject has come to a conclusion for me and so I bid you all adieu.
