In high school I had sex with my girlfriend on the hood of a cop car in the police parking lot.

Unfortunatly I'm listening to a recorded lecture from my history teacher. I have a final in it tonight BLAH!

I saw a report about the decline in the bee population and they said that if bees were to become extinct humans would follow 5-10 years later. I dont remember where I saw this report but I do know that it was a somewhat reliable show.

[quote="Gaieus"]At the moment you cannot have different styles mixed in one scene.

Does that mean in SU 7 I will be able to mix styles?

I got hit by a tornado last year. What a mess! There wasn't much damage to the house but the trees...It took a month to get the streets cleared.

I thought of that or going in and individually hiding the lines don't want but I was hopeing for a way to mix styles mostly due to the fact that I have come across situations in the past where I wanted to do the same, and I'm guessing I will come across it again in the future.

Is there a way to mix line styles? I have a brick wall that I pushed and pulled several of my bricks in or out 1" I like the subtleness of the bricks with the lines turnes off but I want the lines on the rest of the model on. See attacked images and skp.

When you go out to a construction site of a building you have already modeled and realise your model is better than the real thing.

...When you start threatening bodily harm to coworkers who edit your model and mess up all the hard work you have already done.

I have som lines imported from cad and I'm having trouble adjusting the segments of the curve in the ellipse. As you can see it currently has 24. I need many more for it to look correct but SU will not let me change this. Could someone have a look for me?

Thanks in advance

OK, now I'm having trouble attaching it. I'm getting an error saying my file is too large. I have double checked and its only 30kb

Thanks Alan

Don't know why I didn't think of that. Thats why I like these forums. People help you out when your having a brain fart.

I like that idea, however it seams you would need to know the exact dimentions of the beam prior to ajusting in PS. I have several different beams wich I dont know exact dimentions of yet. Also, how would you get the exact dimentions into PS. For example if one of my beams were a spline curving say 30' radius in one direction than curving with a 40' radius in the opposite direction. How would I translate these dimentions in PS?

In Chicago we would say "in plan"

Thanks Wo3Dan
Thats exactly what I was looking for.

Anyone have a suggestion on how to curve a texture? I have a glue lam beam that I would like to curve the texture on to follow the curve of the beam. See attached.

I was able to import my prefs. to my laptop without any problem but at work I was using someone else's computer and I tried to import the same prefs from the same jump drive and it it wouldn't import. I also had this same problem with a school computer.

I am having trouble importing my shortcut preferences. I saved them from my computer at work to a jump drive and when I import them to this computer it doesnt change a thing. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks

I've done all of that an it is still not working. I can't do anything with this model. if I even click my mouse it locks up for about 3 min. Is there some other setting I'm missing?

I recently got a new laptop and I haven't had much time to get it set up the way I want it.
I just tried opening a model I have had been working on for a while on a different computer and now it's EXTREMELY slow. It's a huge model with tons of complex geometry but I know this new machine has a whole lot more power then my other machine. I need a little help setting this up.

I have an Intel duo core 2.2ghz processor, 4GB RAM, NVIDIA GeForce 8400 GS, Vista OS.

I have seen people mentioning open GL in other topics but I have no idea what that is or what it does. Is there something else I need to turn on or off for better performance? (forgive my ignorance, I am not very computer suave, which is why I am turning to you guys for little help.)

Thanks in advance
Jeff

P.S. This is a model I asked for help on awhile ago and now that it is complete I would love to post it and hear some feedback.

Thanks for the tips. I haven't had a chance to try any yet But I will as soon as I have the oportunity.
