Yes, independent from Vertex Tools.

That is very nice.

it could scale Comp to the Face？

Thank you so much ruby tiger. What drives me mad is why I didn't asked it 5 years ago. It'd save me a couple of millions enter hits.

@bjornkn said: Thanks for the tip Any idea what's the difference between the plain and Ti versions? AFAIK the K in 2600K means that it is easy to overclock? BTW, I get a 404 on that link.. GTX560Ti is better. GTX560: 336 Shader units /'Cuda Cores' GTX560Ti: 384 Shader Units/'Cuda Cores' Copy this link: http://www.anandtech.com/show/4221/nvidias-gtx-550-ti-coming-up-short-at-150/15 And put in your browser. Yes the K means the cpu as a unlocked multiplier. It means it's easy to overclock and that you can more overclock. The cpu's have a base frequency [100Mhz] and a multiplier. On i7 2600 is 34x, so 100Mhz x 34= 3400Mhz [3.4Ghz] On turbo mode the multiplier can reach 38x [3.8Ghz]. If you have a unlocked multiplier the limit of the oc will be the vcore and temperatures of cpu. If you have a locked multiplier [non k cpu] you can use the turbo mode multiplier and then raise the base multiplier [100Mhz default], but on this Sandy bridge cpu's it's dificult to raise this value. On previous intel cpu's, like my i7 920, it was easy to change the base frequency: i only have a multiplier of 21x but i could reach 200mhz or more of base clock. The new Intel cpu's have a embedded gpu - the right name is more SoC [System-on-a-Chip] - so if you change the base frequency of the cpu you will mess with the gpu, because they are linked, and thats why you cant push the base frequency. If you change the multiplier you only change cpu settings.. this is the reason why have a unlocked multiplier - K versions - is much better to do OC. [Sorry for my bad english] MK

Anouk is not the only dutch singer in the list. The total list of 10 best selling albums have 6 items from the Netherlands. I think is a way the dutch people will show the world where individual people, and we don't follow other people or country's. Whe have our own opinion and we show that to everyone who wants to hear

I get those numbered SKB's when working on a new file for a while without saving with a real name.

Instantly is impossible. Even Copy+Paste takes time depending on how much you copied.

This should only happen the first time you open an SU7 file in SU8. It will then save the thumbnails in the fire for the next time you open it. You can cancel this on a case by case basis as you open files, but not sure if a way to globally disable it.

It smells like we should expect a great rebrending in the nearest future: 11_selection_toys, 11_cc, 11_lib..

@rv1974 said: @Fredo: I swear you was the real target of the topic starter! Gotcha! Actually, I was referring to the interactive method to edit curves shown in the Russian demo. For the Ramp question, there are approximate solutions. Attached is a small standalone plugin showing the concept (indeed, it would deserve a GUI to pick the contours, play with parameters, propose to skin with curviloft, etc...) - maybe I will integrate the function in Curviloft [image: FubM_RampShearing.gif] The plugin is realsed in the Plugin section of the forum: see http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=323&t=29230#p254673 To use the plugin CurviShear Select one or several curves (it has to be real Sketchup Curves) Contextual menu (or plugin menu) Curve Shearing Dialog box to enter the base height, the maximum height and Group option. New curve(s) are generated The plugin also works with a single curve. When you have more than 2 curves, the ordering is unfortunately dependent on the SU selection order. IMPORTANT: For the time being, the Direction for Shearing is the Z AXIS. So you curves should preferrably be in the Horizontal plane. Fredo

@tig said: Since a SectionPlane is a DrawingElelment you should be able to do most things with it like Move, Rotate etc. You also have two extra methods to 'set' and 'get' a SectionPlane's 'plane'... You can't make a SectionPlane - unfortunately there is not equivalent method to entities.add_section_plane(plane) - though the trick of importing an 'empty' component that contains only a SectionPlane and then exploding it works - you can get it's id and then change it's location/plane... The BIG problem is that there is no entities.active_section_plane [returning a SectionPlane or nil if none is active] or entities.active_section_plane=SectionPlane [setting that active and all others not - equivalent to model.active_layers/= but entities based as there can be one active SectionPlane in each set], also SectionPlane.active? to see if a particular one is active and SectionPlane.deactivate to switch it 'off', would be good. Note that hiding/showing active/visible SectionPlanes can already be done though Display settings... and you can already search through an entities set and make an array of its SectionPlanes - though then you can't do that much to them... If these simple methods were added to the Ruby API it would open up loads of possibilities... It's beyond a mere scripter to hack into the SKP format and get/set the entities's active SectionPlane BUT it must be possible Why does the green color lenses of your geek sunglasses shine like light at the tunnel's end?

Thom and Jim thank you.

I haven't had any luck either and end up just giving up trying. From what I hear, the new Connectivity Extension in Max 2010 will import SU cameras and Max 2011 will do it natively.

Yea - forgot to get back to this thread.

Hi folks. If you need images taken from a hundred meters or so of altitude to get more details, you can consider using Kite Aerial Photography (KAP). Much cheaper than renting a plane or an helicopter. Of course you need steady winds and a place to launch an retrieve the kites. If you are curious, look for "kite aerial photography", "kap" and "kaper" on the Internet. You will certainly find the sites of some of the best pfotographers using this technique (some call themselves "kaper"). I know a few kapers. Among them is Craig Wilson from Madison, Wisconsin, USA, who took splendid photographies of downton Madison buildings. Just ideas.
