Very much appreciated

i'm so embarassed. You guys were gracious enough to notice and I failed to respond. I'm working on leaving for a project in Dubai and haven't been able to follow things on the forum as much.

I guess this is a belated thank you birthday wish response.....first time in the history of the world

Thanks everybody

Coen,

Many sincere apologies. Sorry about the image size man. I didn't read your previous message regarding file size - i'll be more careful in the future. Please remove my original image if its size is burdonsome.

As far as posting the ruby script....honestly i'm a architect naive in the ways of mischeavous scripts. Fortunately the people who download the script I posted have reported no anomolies in the script because I posted it in the exact way I recieved it. I'll try and post the link to the script itself next time.

Again sorry about overstepping boundaries on this forum....no offense intended.

I must have missed your tut sorry. I make sense. I never thougth that running contours was direction specific as you have demonstrated in your tutorial. I have one more question.

If you didn't rotate the geometry 90 deg as you have done but changed the z-axis 90 would that be and easier thing? Probably 6 of one 1/2 dozen of another.

thanks for the clarity

I don't know why but sandbox tool yielded a very strange result for me (see attached image) You guys didn't have this problem?

I only got it to work when selecting two faces at a time but not all at once

Jeff glad to hear you are around in here checking things out. That project is following me around - it was built in 2004 and it has been published a dozen times. That normally would be a good thing, my only problem is i haven't built anything of substance since. I've designed a lot of cool stuff but somehow finances fall through, clients move/change their minds etc. So every time I see it I get depressed not because it wasn't a great project but because so much time has elapsed since a thoughtful project of mine got built......

Anyways - sorry for leading this thread astray everybody - wandering is a bad habit of mind that has followed me into this forum.

Talk to you guys later

i'm old school baby

check out some of my pre-Sketchup action.

Thanks for the compliment and insight Rob. Good chatting with you - hope you dig some of my work too.

One last question ------ if you know how to use more advanced modeling softwares, why do you use Sketchup over the others? Is the SU community any different from other modeling communities? Just curios

Rob

Thanks for sharing your background. You sound like a talented guy with a bright future. Glad we can exchange information and ideas in this forum. :thup:

Good luck to you man.

Definately a big shout out to Diddier for his awesome work on this script.

It's not perfect yet but it beats the hell out of connectin all those dots!
Great thread guys
glad I could contribute in a meaningful way

Major props to Rob for his excellent work
Hey Rob-what is your background anyway? What are trained in? CG, Architect etc.

just curious
I'm also guessing you are younger than me (i'm 34) which again will make me hate you

Talk to you later

Rob
Thanks for the advice------i realized i messed up the attachment and you might have missed my additional post a minute after i posted my first comment

I got it to attach properly the second time around.....so go back and find that script
