I was thinking perpetual motion...

Hey Eric, is this a service you are offering because if it is I have about a dozen down votes you might look into.

I use a very vanilla tool bar layout, but what I do is to have all the tool bars at the top or left edge of the screen. What with the ever expanding workspace on the larger and higher resolution monitors this allows for much less mouse travel to access the tool bars. I generally keep the Browsers and ALDO open on a second monitor.

Sorry KB. I wasn't ragging on you. My intent was to facetiously comment on Chop's willingness to go the "extra mile/millisecond" for us. It just struck me as funny, but I didn't mean to imply that you wouldn't put out the extra effort to get it right. At least I cracked myself up.

I noticed the similarity too Chopper. Thanks for taking the extra time to get the wording right.

Sorry, I can't help you out bro, but what the hell kind of license plates are on that Ram?

Hey! Quit picking on me. I use the Manual. It makes a good step to reach things on high shelves.

Not exactly. That hard drive is a dinosaur. Don't settle for anything less than a SSD. Also Windows 10 Home is terrible. If you insist on Windows 10 get the Pro version. At least you will get a limited degree of control over the relentless updating process.

Damn Mark, is there anything you can't make from a cabinet?

You can use the "Add Lights" tool to add additional light sources to your image. Once you have added an additional source you can control it's properties in the "Light Specification" DBX.

LOL! Shouldn't this be in the Suggestions section. I'm thinking it would be appropriate to update the numbering system to binary. That would mean that we are coming up to SUPER BOWL 110101.

Thanks Dermot. This should be an "official" enough answer for the Chopster.

I couldn't find the original thread, but I wanted to thank Michael for the time and effort he put into the presentation. Lots of nice nuggets (as DScott would say) to process but for me one of the best was learning what effect the "Smoothing Angle" has on the Delete Surface tool. As someone who does a fair amount of new Symbol creation, not having to try to individually delete dozens of symbol fragments has already saved me a bunch of time. Unfortunately my cheapo headset decided that it would no longer be recognized by my computer so I was left without a microphone, but if I had one the question that kept occurring to me was: "How in the heck did you figure all this $hit out?" Thanks!

I'm sure I wasn't the first, but I have been lobbying for this for years. https://chieftalk.chiefarchitect.com/topic/10906-selected-item-highlighted-in-all-open-views/

Man, that's some amazing stuff there Michael. I'm trying to get my head around those chains and how they would be modeled. Every link appears to be in a different orientation or degree of rotation from the adjacent links. No signs of repetition. Very nicely done.

That being said I think the Ray Trace is far superior.

For some reason your explanation made me think of Woody's Chalkboard comment today.

Wow! Very impressive. Let me give this a try. What I need is a recreation of the crown molding in the Hall of Mirrors at the Palace of Versailles. Any help would be appreciated.

Interesting case of life imitating art. Was there a roof on the house where the actual photograph was taken? It looks like we have light bleeding between the cabinet crown moldings and the ceiling. Maybe Chief is on to something?

FYI, I found the captions and links on your Portfolio page to be messed up. For example clicking on the "HGTV Container Home" image takes you to the "Hillside English Cottage" instead. The only one that seemed to be correct was the first image of the "Contemporary River View". Just sayin'.

Muy bien, Roberto.

Or you could eliminate the closets altogether and use a couple of nice armoires instead. It will make the rooms look larger too.

Is there a bed in the scene? I just want to know who that is in the beanbag chair.

I’ve been goofing around creating a coat of arms for my nephew to be, Jayden (expected at the end of the month). It turned out pretty cool so I thought I would share it. A pair of combative corvids seemed appropriate for a kid named Jay. But Rich, you say, how is this Chief related? Easy, Jay is a charter member of the Chief F.U.G. (Future User’s Group).

Is that a retractable drink holder belt buckle you're wearing... or are you just happy to see me?
