On my PC I have two Nvidia 7900s in SLI. It worked great for SketchUp. Nice and fast. Anti-aliasing could cause problems sometimes (SU's fault) but when it worked it was a thing of beauty. It's the onlt thing I miss about my PC since my current Mac doesn't have ANY 3D acceleration.

Jon, Interestingly enough (and I'm hardly a big fan of XP), the leaned-down version of the OS (made with nLite) takes up about half a gig lesson the Eee than the bespoke Xubuntu version. I suspect that I could do something about that if I was willing to kill off the Linux swap partition (there is page after page on the Eee forums about tweaking this sort of thing). But the Xubuntu is snappier in most respects, even if it won't recognize the USB camera. I do have AvoCADo bookmarked...I'll check it out again. You are correct about SU on Linux...I spoke with people in Boulder about it and they said they didn't have the manpower. I would actually like to see a Google Docs online CAD/modeler one day, though! I already use the other Docs applications regularly. Getting back to the Eee, though, I am finding that it is a nice little platform for coding...Java, in my case. using the Processing extension. I can sit at any table and just hack away, with wireless and the open-source media player VLC supplying the streaming industrial rock...and caffeine the inspiration. Perhaps the Java coding stuff will lead to something. Art of Illusion is entirely written in Java and has some nice capabilities.

Word to the Brits!

Thanks!

I have just been reading a lot of interesting stuff on the legalities of this . . it seems they are not hosting anything . . . its just 'links' to other sites (hosts). If simply 'linking' is made illegal then Google themselves well have to tread carefully! These are interesting times we live in for sure!

Well, we are truly in the 21st century. We should start (s)catching up guys!

Nice clean looking design. I like the presentation (3rd image), that is a nice way to see the house within the surroundings. Scott

Nice work. Would like to see it from different angles and not in xray.

I like it, I really like that house. I wish I could live there. And you're not by any chance my little brother Stuart B. are you?

yes, stuart, i agree. there is no universal recipe. sometimes, after "correcting" a view, i find myself moving it a little bit so that it gets out of what seems to be a straight jacket. my suggestion works fine for many situations but certainly not for all. regards.

I was also referring to the text tool, not the dimension tool.

Actually is it possible to render 2 point perspective as such. Also is it possible to render elevations. I know it is not possible to render SU section.
