Granted, but you are now sharing your bed with a very large, very ugly, very smelly sow which happens to be in heat.

I wish I could get that picture out of my mind.

Granted, but now you live in New Zealand and all your best friends are sheep. (That was the only bad thing I could think of for living in New Zealand, with all respect to my Kiwi friends.)

I wish I didn't have to go to work today, or tomorrow, or . . . .

Very nice model and especially nice design. What holds it together? From pictures I saw on-line, there is some kind of connection at the extremes and the center, but I couldn't tell if it was a cable with a spacer, or bolts, or what.

This is cool. Could you elaborate on Scene 9, I'm obviously missing something.

Actually the "walkstation" would be good for that. They are taking orders soon...

I want something like that for my car. After all, I can ride my bike with high intensity in traffic, why couldn't I work out while driving? (I'll put the cell phone away.)

Thinking about this last night, combining some of my own work with things downloaded from the 3D warehouse, I came up with another feature which would be very useful.

If you could show the number of faces at each level or the amount of memory used, you could tell where the most inefficient parts of your drawing are so that you could speed things up. I have no idea how to do that, or even if it's possible, but it's an idea.

Such a tool would be very useful for me. I'm compulsively organized and my outlines tend to get very long and involved.

Keep us informed when it becomes available.

Captain Bush, embarrassed by the similarity of his name to the 41st and 43rd Presidents of the United States, had adopted Ross Macintosh as his name on various Internet web fora. The captain, knowing that Kevin had assumed that Assum was the same as Assam, had taken Kevin on board for his own personal tea drinking pleasure. In reality, the ship was bound for the land of Assam, http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Assum the land of buttock's so big they looked plural.

bring me some Thea sinensis.

Kevin immediately complied knowing that the future of his immortal soul was riding on his response. To comply with His Holyness' request, Kevin . . .

Granted, but as soon as you put them on, you realize that clothes were invented to hide things that you just shouldn't see.

I wish for a peaceful and thankful Thanksgiving day.

Granted. We understand you perfectly. We just don't like what we hear from you.

I wish for more time.

This is great. Having followed the tut and downloaded version 2.2 I can get some really useful work out of this.

Thank you.

I love the idea that 3.0 will be perfect. Every bit of code I've written was always going to be perfect in the next major release too.

I've got just the project to use this on. I'll try 2.0.

For those playing "a fun little game". INSIDE JOKE ALERT Granted, but it crashed my computer and everyone else's and now your effort to help us has resulted in great pain. NOT REALLY

. . . if I type 100%2 into the VCB . . .

Gaieus, is the "%" instead of a "/" one of those differences between Euro and N. American standards like using periods instead of commas between each three digits of a large number.

A new one for me.

Ok, I've just been drawing a bunch of lines and circles and here's what I get.

2/2 = 1
3/2 = 1.5
2/3 = .66666

2.2/2.2 = 2.2
1.5/2 = 1.5
1.52 = 1.5
22 = invalid length
1 1/2/2 = invalid
1 1/2 /2 = invalid
1 1/2 / 2 = invalid
2+2 = invalid
5-2 = invalid

It seems like SU can read an entry as a fraction so long as the numbers do not involve any decimal points. But it can't do any addition, subtraction or multiplication or any division except where it reads the division as a fraction. It's response is a little confusing because where there is a decimal before the operator, it just returns the decimal amount, but if there is an operator other than the "/" without a decimal, it returns "invalid length"

As a wish list item, it would be nice if it could do some other kinds of math.

Granted. It is now a just a little bit easier, but you have to start again at the beginning.

I wish the transfer wasn't necessary.

I often have to do either a little math or a lot of math to come up with the value that I need to put into the VCB. It would be really nice if I could put some simple math in the VCB.

For example, I was modeling something with PVC pipe. I found that the OD was 6.625 inches and I need to put in a radius. If I could put "6.625/2" in the VCB, that would be easier than calculating it and then typing it in.

Another approach would be to come up with the radius of 3.3125 in another program, then paste that into the VCB. It would seem like a numeric value from the clipboard would be equivalent to a keyboard entry.

Thanks for the tutorial. I was enjoying it until it stopped at the point below:

A great tip. Totally obvious once I've seen it done, but until then I couldn't come up with it in a million years.

Ahh, of course.
