it all makes sense now, cheers.

In a similar vein: [image: banksygraf230.jpg]

If there are no precious resources involved that threaten the global economy, the UN seem to be totally inert. They don't react to thugs until their atrocities have escalated to near cataclysmic proportions and can't be ignored anymore. Probably too much redtape. Radovan Karavich got away with it for years in Yugoslavia.

I'm just trying to work out what a haddock is...(crazy Brittish english

We talked about the sawstop before but it's worth re-visiting. http://www.sketchucation.com/forums/scf/viewtopic.php?f=179&t=4181

ok, so I want to create an onclick random zig-zagging line. So each line is a component inside a larger component. The first line has a random number for rotation (randbetween(-3,3). For the next line to be placed at the end of first one after the rotation I need to reference the value of the randbetween. But when I do this it reference the code instead of the value so I get a completely different number where I want the end value. I tried the set("attribute"randbetween(x,y) but I either didn't put it in the right place or it's not the right thing to do. Can someone help?

Hopefully thie example will show you what i mean. Essentially, one component is constrained by parameters so that it can only be positioned in certain ways. I thought about it a bit more, though, and it probably wouldnt be hugely useful as you wouldnt be able to see how the components were constrained untill you tried to move them. edit: just had another thought, it could be used for some very basic rigging, i'll try ad get an example up and working in a while. assembly test.skp

Aha, I found the example I was thinking of. This is from PITRAK on the PushpullbarII forum in this thread: http://www.pushpullbar.com/forums/sketchup/10076-dynamic-components-test.html See if that one helps. I don't remember what id does differently or how it works, but it randonly chooses between 3 different options. Chris DC random wall.skp

@remus said: Wouldnt want any fence sitting now Stinkie, i think they are working on some big stuff. Bit of a guess really, but i dont think theyre stupid enough to sit around and not do anything about the speed issues. I don't think they're stupid either. I do think, however, that the 'speed issues' are not their prime concern. You remember the concerns Kwisten vented some time ago? You know, about SU becoming a tool (or toy?) for people who want to populate GE? He was right. In effect, Google is smart. But it's not the kind of smart your typical modeling app user will benefit from in the long run.

The funny thing is, when the movie was in the creative process S. Spielberg held a retreat to ask companies like lexus coke gap etc where they saw there companies realistically going in the next 50 years; from that info they created the world of Minority Report, so now I guess we all should get ready for eye-dentification. btw (after the HP comerrcials I really could not wait to see this type of tech in real life) I guess it will be affordable enough in 5 to 8 years.

Coen, if you don't mind, I'll add to your rant. I just ran the update for for GE and it did automatically added the Google Toolbar for IE. I tried to stop it, but then it stopped the GE update. I've had this problem with other Google updates. If I wanted the damn Google Toolbar, I'd install it. But I don't, so now I have to take the time to uninstall it.

Cheers pav, ever the gentleman.

Dont get your hopes up bruce. The model was a real quicky, and is very messy as a result. Ill have to redo the whole thing if i want to make any changes. sigh.

Always is a big deal in Australia and yes we stopped to remember at 11am. There is a group of historians [i believe] from Australia who have been researching for many years to locate a mass grave in Northern France of about 400 Britains and Australian killed during the war in 1916. Last year a dig was commissioned and a lucky bracelet was found and identified as being owned by an Australian solider. From there they went onto to locate many of the bodies of those lost in action..... a wonderful story of some dedicated individuals.... Link to a local news story: http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2008/11/11/2416941.htm Some touching stories posted here....

Screw it, lets go for a whole SU operating system. All other apps will sit on top of it and be fully integrated.

"Full Stop" ( Mister .) is interesting but I doubt it would be accepted as an official name since it isn't really a letter combination. You might also run into forms on the internet etc. that wouldn't accept entry of "." as a valid name. Might be better to stick with a real letter or you'll never be able to buy anything online. Regards, Ross PS If "i" was the smallest letter, it would be cool since it also has meaning in English as a word: "i" am the greatest thing since sliced bread.
