There are exceptions and if an exception has its meaningful explanation, the students should understand and accept those exceptions. After the intersection and clean-up, you can safely scale the model back (like I did in the attached file). This won't contradict with the "general rule" either as you end up with a 1:1 scale model just have used a trick to come around an OpenGL limitation.

Actually, I'm on the Beta team, so I've gone through that channel. I only have Sticky Keys enabled under UA. But turning off 'Enable Access for Assistive Devices' seems to do the trick. I think. Trouble is, that messes up my window switcher, 'witch' relies on that function to work. And I use it a lot.

Actually, Tom you could use http://www.screentoaster.com for video capture. It's free, but it had a slight glitch when I was creating that screen capture, so I had to fall back on SnapzPro.

@broomstick said: Tell me about it. So, is there no quick workaround for windows? http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?p=219627#p219627 has some PC based ideas...

Cheers, TIG -- I d/l'ed your file and put it in the plugins folder, and I'm happy to report it does exactly what it says on the tin!!!

Thanks, both -- They both look really interesting...will check them out.

@tim danaher said: Edit -- Gaieus Walkabout looks interesting... Yup - imagine to have baked images in it and export a walkabout in real 3D VR! (Maybe in a year or so...)

Sounds cool! I am sold.

AutoCAD 2010 wants to be Sketchup, scary http://autocadder.blogspot.com/search/label/AutoCAD%202010

Cheers, Gaieus...gotta get my facts straight for this review... No embedded animations really is pants

Ah... right, cheers!

Cheers, Csaba...thought I was going mad...

Gaieus -- Agree 100%.

Nice one adam, will be interesting to see what sort of animation people can come up with using this. p.s. saw that olympic roof you did in lightup tim, very nice

BE- in plan.

I don't know exactly, but you mentioned cutting out MDF board. why not export a dxf and import the dxf in your cnc cad program ? Or maybe if the building is solid, use the ruby slicer, so you've got the building in thin piece's and export these with ADO ? and import these in the cnc-programming software. what kind of cnc-machine are you talking about (how many axes ?)
