Oops - I didn't mean to recommend them, only to point out some interesting technology ideas.

It's entirely my own fault, no blame attached to you

Thanks for the replies. This is just what we were looking for.

The 3D Object viewer also also has a 256 image version which lets you view the object from all angles.

These are good alternatives to RPS 3D PDF since they can be created with rendered images as well as with images directly from SketchUp.

I thought, looks interesting, I'll give it a punt for $5!

Bad idea, they took the $5 but I never got the email with the download link

It was an absurdity to build over and near seismic fractures!

In Japan do they have a choice other than not to build nuclear power stations?

I would never want to be a teacher, the odds are stacked against you.

But while I have a little sympathy for teachers attacked and abused by 'pupils' the rot was started by the teachers themselves back in the 1970's trying to get too 'matey' with the pupils. As they sowed so have they reaped.

Anyway who need education! Just know where the benefits office is, sign on and get the state to provide you a house (especially if you're a pregnant teenage girl) and the money for a 50" plasma TV, a games console and plenty of packs of cheap lager. Not quite enough money, sell a bit of dope, nick some stuff and sell it down the car boot sale or the pub.

probably a lot better for you than our tap water.

As it was in the Middle Ages in Britain

a standard ration of beer for monks and nuns during the Middle Ages was one gallon per day

unless I'm at the pub then it's all beer.

I was told American beer was water

Then there was this scam .....

Thanks for the pointers.

Can someone point me in the right direction please.

At last I've been issued with a new PC ( ), but now a snag. I need to transfer my copy of SketchUp 6 Pro but I've lost the Authorisation number.

Who do I contact to sort this out?

A true comparison would be with other free CAD offerings rather than ACAD.

Hi Peter,

Sure, it has plenty of life - I just made it a bit more friendly. Hope you don't mind the update.

You have my blessing to improve it in what ever way you can.

Great!
Might have been even better with Mr Barker !!

This is a enhanced version of Peter Brown's DrawHelix13 script.

Main improvements are:

• Input box now uses the current model units.
• Previous values are saved between each use.

It is meant to replace the drawhelix13.rb file, but both can be installed without conflict.

Download (right-click, select Save As)
drawhelix14.rb

There must be life in my old dog yet if someone thought to improve it.

Genuine blonde then

Apart from our own and one other vote nobody wanted 2018 in the UK, such is life.

However I'm at a loss to understand the sense of surprise in the English camp that FIFA delegates who said yes to their face, said no in the vote. Surely that normal in such circumstances.

But never forget Malthus!

I understand that the legacy of Harriet Harman is that you will soon be able only to refuse to employ male blind bus drivers. Female blind bus drivers will have an automatic right to employment, because they are female.
