Re: This secret cost me $20,000, but I'll let you have it for free.

Am I missing something here? Where's the secret? All I can see of the O.P. is:

I don't suppose there's much chance of you sending them to the UK, but here goes anyway.

Re: Upholstering Your Furniture

Hi Dave,

I tried several times to download it, and used several ZIP programs to try to open it all to no avail. However Josef (the writer of the program) has e-mailed me a ZIP file which works fine. So many thanks to Josef, excellent service.

Re: Upholstering Your Furniture

Hi Dave,

Re: Using the Shape Bender Plugin

Hi Dave,

There is an easier way (at least i think its easier) to get the rotate tool to change its axis, which has the added bonus of allowing you to rotate about ANY axis. When setting the initial rotation point, click and then drag in the direction that you want to use as the axis. You can use all the usual inferences to rotate parallel to any of the axes, additionaly you can use any pair of points to set an axis in any other direction, including ones not in any of the basic planes.

Re: Creating a Project Plan in SketchUp

Hi Dave,

When I do scenes like these I use separate layers for each scene. Often I also have some layers that are common to more than one scene, containing the stuff which does not change between them. Is there any reason you don't do them this way?
