      Hi Rich, Wardrobe looks great. I will comment on use rather than construction. I have 2 kids and have built 0 wardrobes. I echo Dave's comments re: 3rd drawer a small upper drawer would be handy. Not sure how you are thinking of how the shelves on the right will work. It would be handy to be able to change the shelf heights as your needs change no idea what the products or methods are called that let you do this ... The section on the left for hanging clothes looks big for a new born - 3 year old you may want to consider adding a shelf at the bottom that could be used for toddler years and removed when the clothes are big enough to warrant it. In thinking down the line not sure if there is anything that you could do now that would account for your child opening and smashing fingers in the drawers when they start to crawl and cruise around. My el cheapo solution in the 'Tupperware Drawer' in the kitchen is chucking a 2x4 on edge behind it so it won't close. You may want to ask the builder to have something that you can anchor the top with so it won't topple. Eventually you'll want to train them to climb in their drawer at night by themselves, don't want the thing falling on them as they climb in. Post your final design would love to see it.

      I currently have AutoScreenRecorder (Free) on. So far I like it. Certainly the pro has more options.

      hi is there a way to understand how and whether GE casts and receives shadows? In my model, I see GE terrain is shaded, but shadows from buildings are flat and do not conform to the terrain. Moreover, terrain below the 0,0,0 point does not receive shadows - flat or otherwise. Moving the entire model above the 0,0,0 point (unlocking the terrain) results in nothing receiving or casting shadows.. not even building parts on each other. I tried exploding the terrain, intersecting it with the model, .. to no avail. Any thoughts? thanks

      Well that's not a dumb question! I was expecting something like: "Did that guy that made Ruby own Ruby Tuesdays?" (can anyone think of something grander?)

      So far it's working really well for me with the whole Dave Method and then using the upright extruder with a thread profile. I'm printing at 0.06MM layer height to get accurate threads but it seems to be working, I managed to match an existing thread for a part I'm trying to replicate out of PETG as the existing is crap.
