Many happy returns!

I would look up TaffGoch's excellent work on geodesic domes and use these structures as a basis for creating components that fit together using the nodes in one of your pictures. Take care though, chord lengths will differ slightly depending on the structures. Good luck!

oh wow, that's really clever TIG!

Would you like someone else to comment tt or are you just coding in your sleep?

Really nice, I like the aesthetic

Beautiful surfaces!

Among the best car models I have ever seen in SketchUp - well done! Love to see more.

Could you please post a couple of views with hidden geometry revealed?

It would be very informative for other members

I agree, they must approach it like a kitchen fitter - all preplanned and mapped out

Now they're on Boing Boing

Grid Tile & Fence

I would study the dynamic picket fence and tile flooring demonstration files.

Visual Color Picker does exactly what it says

I have an htc Desire which works very nicely. htc sense is smooth and intuitive, the screen is big and clear and with wifi, downloads are a breeze. Only downside for me is battery life which can be an issue if you have processor heavy applications. But some of the navigation/augmented reality apps are really amazing. But you may want to wait a little longer for the htc Desire HD which is a little more uber

Well, it works for me.

More inspiration here

I like alot! Good luck with your SketchUcation

Oh, and try googling for ConceptShip blogspot for inspiration, if you ever need it.

Dale, I think some of these are from UK students

eg: Hands that judicious can be soft as your face. (OMG)

...you may not know is a play on words from the slogan of a well-known washing-up liquid in the UK: sings "...hands that do dishes are as soft as your face, with mild green, Fairy Liquiiiiiid."

That reminds me:

A guy goes into a seafood restaurant and asks to see the dishes of the day. The waiter wheels over a trolley and the man examines the dishes.

"I'll have the little green squid with the hairy lip, please" says the man. "O.K." replies the waiter and calls out "Gervais!"

A little French chef appears with a large knife, the waiter instructs the chef to kill the little green squid with the hairy lip.

Gervais is just about to slice at the poor squid when he notices a tear running down its face. Gervais is touched, and admits that he hasn't the heart to kill the squid.

"Not to worry" says the waiter, and calls out "Hans!!" at which an enormous German bloke comes out of the kitchen. "Sir", says the waiter, "this is Hans, the dishwasher. Hans, kill that squid!"

The dishwasher wields a huge rolling pin and is just about to bludgeon the little green squid with the hairy lip when it cringes back and gives a little cry.

"I am sorry sir, I just cannot kill the squid" Hans admits, his lower lip trembling.

"Well sir," says the waiter, "it just goes to show, ahem...

"Hans who does dishes, can be soft as Gervais. With mild green, hairy lip squid!"

Hope I'm not teaching how to suck eggs but if you run this utility with all your devices connected, it should give you the latest info on driver compatability in Windows 7. It helped me a great deal.

Wow, the internet is getting smaller and smaller all the time.

Glad to be of help.
