[edit] okay so i just realized which forum this was posted in (i use view new posts instead of browsing individual forums)... at least i now realize what 'LO' stands for in the above posts.. please ignore the following maybe i'm not understanding your problem correctly but i just tried --> --open two windows - one set to decimal/mm and the other to architectural/inches.. --in the decimal window, draw a circle measuring 20,000mm diameter and group it.. --copy that group and paste it into the architectural window.. --measure the diameter which is ~65' - 7 3/8" that's a correct conversion... is this not what you're trying to do?

Thata the thing though, the component i wanted to copy across was jsut a small one, hardly worthy of its own file. It would make far more sense if you could jsut copy and paste it into layout. Apart form this, im quite liking layout, it seems very intuitive.

Thanks

Yes it does, Ken; some kind of multi-level, collapsible layer system. Just like in Win Eexplorers menu list on the left. Well, as I remember, Todd is thinking about such a plugin.

Rocking Remus, Space is always good, so Jack bird bring that action. You clearly know all about the meat puppets, and their dark intentions. Our technologies are so utterly feeble... it's such a joke -- they will have their way with us in the end. Hope? Yeah, I drink a few tall boys and hope springs back into focus. I've warned about the pending interplanetary attack of the Grays back in the day, on the old sketch up site, and of corse often over on the AT boards many times (I've taken out those adds out on the local coupon rag), and yet my words seem to continuously fall on deaf ears (as we are all busy with our personal lives, making crap, and eating). This being the case, the truth is, without an honest dialog about prevention, we are doomed. Dig deep into your closets, basements, and garages, and harvest up all the old pornography you have stashed away, and have it at the ready for further instruction.

Shiny new machine has arrived all ive got to do now is set it up...bloody quick so far though, i havent beena ble to slow it down so far, sually a good sign

I am trying to learn Blender, I know it's complicated but I reckon its worth learning simply because it's free. I'm doing this course, it's free and accredited by M.I.T http://ocw.tufts.edu/Course/28 The next release is supposed to feature a major gui facelift to make blender more like 3ds max.

Mmmmm... it's a catch 22, I don't want all the fancy features... but I want a high-res screen!

Ive done a bit of raster to vector conversion, and generally the results arent very acceptable, and that was with black and white images, i cant imagine how bad theyd be with colour maps! On the other hand, i ahve imported a pic of a map in to SU before and traced over the contour lines. That worked pretty well, and if youve got a good pic you can drape it over the mesh very easily. If you had some known distances, i supose you could also do it to scale as well. or maybe just use GE

sorry richard, i took the pic on a whim, its from the front of a cottagey stlye house, so not very modern. Im not very good on architecture, being more of a design man myself, so i cant really help you with finding your buildings. Someone on here can probably come up with a few suggestions though.

Of course the incredible free Verve by Taron! (who is in complete rebuilding! So be patient! But you can make yet some cool things with it! (using of Dynamic fluids is not shown here! See Taron's videos for that!) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t5xBbGlI5lU

i think theyve got to be crystal to get them to resonate...

i know what you mean alan, seems like they're always building the biggest something or other, or the most expensive xyz and even the first artificial island.

Thanks Remus, nice work and usefull model. Mike

Are your bugsplats successfully sent to the SU team, and do you add a description of how the problem occurred? That's more useful info than a few lines in a forum. If so, you're lucky you got bugsplatted.

These are pretty immpressive if i say so myself.
