Small feature request, but I'd like the ability to show area in a different measurement to the drawing dimensions.

I'm not sure how things work in America, but in the UK and Europe detailed architectural work is drawn in millimetres, and square metres are used for areas.

When a client asks: how much paint do I need, seeing 8483472mm2 is quite confusing. I currently have to switch the drawing units, see that it's 8.5m2, then convert back to mm to continue modelling.

YES!!! This is very very annoying...

Sure looks neat, srx!!

I'm not sure the best idea is to hack the script; rather wait til the developer gets back from basecamp themselves...

Found it... would be great for attendees. Just makes the rest of us envious!!

Price was an issue for me as well. And seeing how hot it is I am glad I am not there. I prefer sweatshirt weather.

Have fun all. I am trolling the 3D Basecamp App.

Hey Eric, Basecamp app? didn't know there was one...

@box said:

Yes I am and it's bloody hot, so cooling ales at regular intervals are a must.

DAMN!!!

I'm working hard on those brain cells for you.

Are you over there, Box?

Too expensive for you guys...? my flight from over here was going to cost me $2,500 minimum so it does make for an expensive 5-6 days....

Not to mention the loss of brain cells; hey Pete?

Hi guys, anyone going to Basecamp this year going to report back here for us less fortunate who are not going???

where i can download this plugin? i have been download from the site http://sdmitch.blogspot.com/ but wan't work.. thanks

I have removed the plugin from the blog and plugin store because I have received a complaint regarding Copyright infringement.

Really, copyright infringement??? I don't know of any other plugin that does this, Sam... that's disappointing that you have to do this.

Where has the complaint come from??

Hi guys, anyone experience this today after updating to the new release?

Not sure how long the upgrade has been out but I only used PB3 two days ago and the update window didn't appear then....

Great work. Look forward to seeing it all done...

Looks pretty neat, Baz. My parents are caravaning around AU at the moment and knowing how much they paid for their new van, I know what I how I'd rather spend my cash....

Any ideas for an outdoor add-on to create a bit of a patio area?

Fair call, mate thanks.... Not sure I can wait til them; this old thumper I'm using must know I'm on the lookout for a new model. she's starting to cause problems!

Finally got around to sourcing my new system. Long overdue!!!!

Any comments/suggestions about the makeup of it? I'm pretty settled on most of it but just a little unsure if the power supply is up to scratch although they assure me that supply units have become very efficient on the last few years.

Thanks Alberto. Will do.

Difficulty of SubD modeling is that you must imagine how your basic form must to be
before it will subdivised!

Thanks Pilou, I'll certainly print these out and have a read through them... applying textures is another question I had so I'll see if I can get through the first stage then work that out after....

Cheers!!

Thanks mate, makes a lot of sense.

Hi all, is anyone finding that SketchFX isn't working....? I bought it a while back and only just started playing around with it seeing I have a project I'd like use it with....

click on the icon and nothing happens.
Click down through the dropdown menus to apply effects, activate, etc and also nothing happens....

I'm on SU2018 BTW.

Cheers,

Gee, thanks for your feedback guys!

@box - yes I'd only really need it to fill a render scene but I guess detail may be required if I needed it closer in the scene.

@Rich - I need to get inside your brain [could be dangerous I know]. Seems breaking the image down to components is the key to building this thing up.

@Dave - thats the first thing I thought when I saw it too!!

Can you guys point me in the right direction re workflow? I assume Vertex tools / quad tools go hand in hand with setting up a model before using SubD. Am I right? Anything others?

Cheers again, fellas. Really appreciate your input.
