These are great artworks and superb presents too

They remind me of Gary Larsons 'Far Side' artwork...

did you try drawing on separate layers? you can then toggle layers on/off to hide or display what you need. You can also 'Color by Layer' to highlight 'new' or 'old'

Is this what you mean?

Found this the other day but haven't tried it out...but Santa's bringing me a netbook so i'll try it then

does anyone have this installed?

Hi,

Here's a Clay Render of my Father's original family home which holds alot of historical relevance in our town. He asked me to model it from old construction drawings. I'm not an architect, so it's been interesting to try and do justice to the great work i see at SCF everyday.

He is currently battling with Council to have the house returned to the family as it was 'revoked' from our Grandfather

Nice work Oli

Are these houses or flats? Either way, it's a funky housing design that'll look great when developed.

I'm sorry for your loss as a dog is truly a 'man's best friend'

hi,

i've tried this out in work and home and must say that starting up it is extremely fast and the UI is very forgiving and adaptive.

but this doesn't outweigh the scrambling of .docs and .ppt files. I use ms office alot and textmaker had lots of issues with inserted graphics in .doc files. With .ppt files there were issues with fade transitions and inserted graphics.

personally i won't use this as ms office is very stable and as industry standard it will take some beating. but for members who don't have ms office i would highly recommend softmaker over openoffice.org

thanks for sharing 2kemon

I've smoked on and off for nearly 20yrs, and once was off cigs for 5yrs when i fell off the wagon.

But this thread reminds me of what happened while contracting in Boston in the 90's

Driving home after work at 4am on quiet road i was smoking when i decided to throw cig out window. It miraculously flew back in the window and on to the back seat! Where i decided in my infinite wisdom to turn and look to see where it went and ending up kind of weaving around the road. Next thing.....

Flashing blue lights

Now at the time i was, lets say over staying my welcome, in the good ol' USA and knew if this copper made enquiries i was up the swanny.

Cop: "Licence and Registration, Sir"

Dumb Irish Kid: "It's in me other car, this is the bosses car!"

Cop: "Sir, are you familiar with driving in this country"

Dumb Irish Kid: "Yes, Officer but i can explain....."

Cop: " Have you been drinkin' at all tonite Sir?"

Dumb Irish Kid: " No Officer, but i can explain............"

At this point i must explain that unfortunately cigarettes or smokes or ciggies are also called FAGS in Ireland. Now there is no malice meant in referring to cigarettes as fags it comes Fag-end, which is a rope used in sailing that had a useless frayed end.

Dumb Irish Kid: " Well Officer i was driving along and threw a fag out the window but fuc....."

Cop: "Whooah, whooah, whooah... Sir let me get this straight. You threw a fag out the window"

Dumb Irish Kid: Yes Officer"

It was at this point that 'Back-Up' was called. I was cuffed and placed in the back of the squad car! Once 'Back-Up' arrived i was told to show the Officers where about the fag was thrown.

Dumb Irish Kid: " The fuc#@$ came back in the window and landed on the back seat and i was trying to reach back to throw it out again when i drifted across the road and...."

Cop: "Whooah, whooah, whooah... "

Back-Up: "I'll go check on the victim"

At this point i realised my faux pas and explained to the Officer that the fag in question was in fact a cigarette! To this day, every xmas i get a card from Officer Jones and family, who reminds that he still gets bought drink at the bar to tell the tale of the 'Irish Kid and the Fag'

In the Window menu choose 'Styles' and this will appear......

Select the 'Edit' tab as you see above and here you can change which parameters you would like to see or not see.

I checked the 'Extension' box and set it to 10 to get this result...

Hope this helps

This sounds like a great idea

Maybe post a poll to establish interest levels? Solo initially polled members for his 'Model This' challenge and the feedback was extremely positive,

With prizes at stake, i think there should be defined rules as it potentially could get messy [IMO]

What do others think?

Amazing design Edson

I don't have an Architectural background but find this approach to very refreshing. Here Funeral Homes are dark and morbid but this is open and welcoming.

Personally i don't find this subject uncomfortable and look forward to further posts. Thanks for sharing

Like miguel, I run NoScript so this Ad wasn't visible. Personally I don't find it in anyway offensive. But I agree that it is playing with words. Any Ad that causes 'Viewers' to click is then successfully achieving it's goal.

Ads, whether they be misleading or not, are what let this site function.

Could you imagine a life without SketchUworld?

PS Twilight certainly does rock! As does Vray, Vue, KT, iRender, Podium etc... But only in the right hands

There's a good tut on the-blueprints.com that shiws how to model a train from the views you mention. It's a start!

This is a great Plugin Pilou, perfect for exploded drawings

Congrats

Seems like 'the children are the future' mantra is lost on this journalist? Needs to make a stronger case IMO, as the information he provides is unproven and questionable.

But no the less an interesting read, thanks for sharing

These were over in the 'Retired' Google Groups', their compatability with 7.1 is something i can't test as i don't use .shp

Maybe another member can help with this?
