@remus said: Sorry, from the animations id done already sr=sp*10 worked so i assumed (classic mistake) after reading your post that it was always like that. Its making more sense now, though. Thanks for the explanation Actually, the amount of frames in sr and sp are the same. The fps will vary though. For sr, it will be faster, because your computer has to think more during the sp animation. For more complex models, the sp animation fps will be even slower.

Too true mate!

Sang revealed is a true gem

And also impressive the last paragraph: combining the two techniques. If they can map the structure and also distinguish the elements, I would not need anymore to struggle with those spectra: [image: ucQG_IR_pentacene.jpg] That's like if you take a single molecule in your hands, touch it and feel the structure.

great news, remus. keep it up.

come to think of it, which country is not run by imbeciles? good people have better things to do than get involved in politics. a politician that is not a moron is the absolute exception. of course, from time to time there comes one but they are far between.

We tend to have such pathetic voter turn-outs for local elections here inthe U.S., also. Then everyone complains about corrupt politicians. But what can you expect? Such low turn-out sends the message that most people don't care, so the politicians do what they want. About the only constituency they have to pander to are the elderly, as they seem to be the ones group who do regularly turn out to vote.

For a color it's always = 255 [100% opaque]... there is a color.alpha= method but it's never ever worked, you must set alpha [transparency] for a material itself not material.color e.g. material.alpha=0.4 for 40% opacity will work but the material.color.alpha still reports 255 [100%], if you try to change it, it just does nothing ! So to recap - the fourth item in a SUp material.color array is its alpha [r,g,b,a] but it's not used ! The alpha of the material itself works as a 0 to 1.0, equivalent to % setting of opacity... http://code.google.com/apis/sketchup/docs/ourdoc/color.html

Although I never actually entered the run, I did run down that hill quite a few times in my childhood. Oh, and rolled down it a few as well. Some aged relatives lived in a tiny cottage somewhere on the hill and I got to visit during summers spent with my grandparents- so long ago that it was even before anyone walked on the Moon.

What scares me the most is that some people will undoubtedly try and peddle this site as a good resource.

arguably you could then output from rhino into 3ds i guess

Im not really trying to do anything in particular. I just thought it might be useful for restricting the position/rotation of an object.
