I've posted a beta release of custom toolbars on my blog (see my sig.)

thought I would find this quite useful as I tend to use icons rather than shortcuts most of the time, but I can't seem to download it from your blog, I just get to a page which says I don't have permission to view this page - could you post it here on scf instead?

Thanks

Similar idea to this which I saw the other night on the gadget show.

Better UV mapping tools

high poly support

Organic modelling tools

pav,

I am taking my part 3 in architecture this year, but I have gone through a similar experience myself (I even posted here about earning a living from SU etc).

I would probably agree with Alan, and suggest you stick with it for now, but make the most of any opportunities that come your way. Usually people take a year out between parts 1 and 2 (although there were quite a few at my uni who took 2 years out - actually there were alot who just didn't come back). Make the most of this time and get as much experience as you can (both architecture and visualisation if you can), and at the end of it you'll hopefully be in a position to make a more informed decision.

I would suggest you speak to your tutors/careers advisor/professional studies advisor/etc as has already been mentioned it is a common experience and these people should be able to give some valuable advice. What about talking to students who are now taking their part 2? they may have gone through the same and have some useful suggestions.

If you don't mind I would like to ask what it is that you are not enjoying about architecture and why you don't think it is for you?

This is one which Jon Wood suggested here.
It is an architects practice who produce a free design magazine - http://www.d-earle.com/

Just a quick one for easter! (thanks to ilikepie on 3DW for the chick)
Happy Easter!

Just browsing the forum and noticed a recent reply to this...

It's a shame that I haven't done any work on this since my last update (as the dates are all wrong after the forum transfer I've no idea when that was - a few months at least!), but I just haven't had the time to do this or much other su work for that matter

Perhaps I will finish it one day...

Both useful cd/dvd burning apps, which have both worked well for me in the past.

It was suggested that we wait until the next leap year for the wedding, but my fiancée didn't really appreciate that idea!!

I heard that Sketchup and 'newlywed' are not very compatible

I can imagine! Taking my part 3 this year to finally qualify as an architect isn't going to help things either!

Have you set a date..??

We are thinking of sometime around September 2009.

Really can't concentrate on work today - still hasn't sunk in that i'm now engaged!!

As it was February 29th on Friday my partner made the most of it, and proposed to me. Obviously I have said YES

It came as a bit of a surprise, but I am very very happy!! Just thought I'd share this wonderful news with everyone!!!

I can get the section plane method to work aswell, but I still can't get the other method to.

I have downloaded your file Wo3Dan but the 'B=frontview' scene still cannot be printed to scale (the options are greyed out)?

I'm having trouble getting this to work as well - I'm sure I'm following your instructions properly, but I'm obviously missing something or doing something wrong.

This may come in useful soon. Don't suppose you've seen any examples of contemporary architecture using this have you? I'm needing some ideas for a modern building in an area where buildings seem to use this often...

I have been asked to look for some examples of modern/contemporary architecture in the east sussex area of the uk which use traditional materials (hung tiles for example) but I am having difficulty finding any. I am sure there are plenty, but I must be looking in the wrong places at the moment. Have you any suggestions?

Thanks

Firefox at home, and at work Firefox Portable

must be going blind, as i can't even see a download link for the ie sdk (i know its there somewhere though...)

@krisidious said:

just do a search for the IE SDK

not open source though as far as I can see (free maybe, but not open source)

Its a shame we end up stuck with windows, because of the need to use software which is windows only.

Good to see opensource software being used. do any of you use it in a professional capacity or do you just use it for home use?
