OK, does anybody have an easy peasy way to arrange
160 3D Italian Cypress trees evenly spaced along a 500
foot road so that they vary from 8 feet tall at one end to
30 feet tall at the other end and no two trees look alike?
Yeah, I didn't think so.

Don't know why I didn't try this sooner but if
you don't enter anything in the "Name" field of
the Plant Chooser and instead just select a box
in the "Type" field (along with any appropriate
Sub-Type) and hit the Search Button you will get
a list of everything of that type in the Browser.
Unfortunately as Jon and Nic have noted you
can't tell which ones are 2D and which ones
are 3D.
I too would be interested in a site for good
quality 3D tree symbols since the Library
and Bonus Catalog 3D offerings are limited
at best.

It looks to me like you are trying to access the 3d feature
while you are still in plan view. If you open or create your
3d view those options will be available to you. Most of the
3D dropdown menu items are unavailable in plan view.

Does anybody know of a way to get the Library
Browser to display the plants by their Common
Names and not the Scientific Names? I really
don't want to become a Botany major just so
I can locate a Walnut or Apricot tree. And of
course as we all know by now the search
feature is as useless as teats on a boar hog.
I do realize that you can cross reference the
names in the Plant Chooser but you have to
enter each category of plant individually and
there are dozens of categories.

I don't use the feature but I think this is what you are looking for.

Apple's share is still rather small
Lew
Heaven knows I don't want to start a range war....
But I've read that the Mac division (as small as it is)
is one of Apple's biggest cash cows. Why? Because
the profit margin on those machines is very high.
Translation, Apple is gouging you guys.

A couple more mystery layers:
-"0" (I am sure there is a reason for this otherwise it would not be there..... but I have not figured it out)
- DEFPOINTS (I have never understood this layer)
Those two layers are two of the basic AutoCAD layers.
Whenever you open a new drawing (.dwg) file in ACAD
it automatically creates layer "0". Once you dimension
anything in the drawing ACAD creates the "Defpoints"
layer. These layers cannot be deleted in ACAD.

....I have a feeling I will never be able to get rid of my PC. Why can't I get rid of the PC?
Resistance is futile. It's a Window's world.
BTW, what is Apple's market share these days?

I see Jintu got the transfer accomplished. Sorry, I got
sidetracked last night and by the time I checked back
you guys figured it out.
Mick, I haven't tried to download or install anything yet,
but after seeing Jintu's gorgeous sample I will definitely
be checking it out. I was hoping you guys would get the
process all smoothed out and then I will waltz in and
reap the benefits.

@Rich ...do the images go too if you copy paste to another thread ? I can always repost if I can get it to work
I tried but the images won't post.
Do you guys want me to transfer Mick's tutorial to the Corona thread?
If I copy and paste Mick's original post (#38) the images transfer fine.
If I copy and paste Jintu's copy of Mick's post (#41) the links to the
images transfer and are active so the pics can be accessed.
I would have just gone ahead and transferred the post but there
seemed to be some question as to whether the steps were working
properly or needed to be tweaked.

I don't see a Corona Thread Jintu?
Mick, that thread is in the chatroom.
-
Hi
Thanks for your tutorial. Please allow me to repost this in the Corona thread, this information is important. The question is how.
Just highlight Mick's post and copy it. Then go to
the other thread and past it into the reply window.
I think here is where I'm supposed to say ... easy peasy.

ALL HAIL THE REDSKINS

Looks like that Holstein on the floor didn't fare too well either.

Yep, there's a lot to like about SSD's. Why wouldn't
you want to replace an internal disk spinning at 5 to
10 thousand rpm with a drive that has no moving
parts? Think about that, no moving parts. Are you
kidding me, a fence post has no moving parts. A
rock has no moving parts. How the heck does a
highly sophistimacated doowhackey like a data
storage and retrieval device have no moving parts?

Sounds like a decent upgrade and you probably got the
most bang for your buck. The only thing you said that I
might take exception to is that your 525W power supply
is "robust". In today's environment I would want 750W
minimum and more likely 1000W. If you eventually want
to go to the real performers in the video card market you
will need a bigger power supply (as you noted) and you
will probably need a bigger case to pack all those goodies
into.
I recently went for the brass ring and sprung for the GTX
780ti. The card is a physical monster. It is literally the size
of a foot long 2 x 6 and weighs in at 30 ounces! Imagine
that in your laptop. I could have fit it into my 8 year old
Antec case but I would have had to take the tin snips to
the drive bay frame to make it fit.

I am not sure how many users know this, but the available catalog / 3D Library for Mac users is significantly less than Windows users. I use both Mac and Windows and found that some of the libraries on my Windows computer is not available on my Mac. Is there a reason they are not for both?
The contents of the library catalogs are pro-rated depending
on the market share of the respective operating systems.

You could just be creepy : )
LOL! Hey, I resemble that remark.

I hope your joking, everyone else was.
Sure I'm joking. Isn't that what the "wink" and "grin"
are all about?

Rich, for a very large fee, I can smooth out some of the rough edges.
I will do it for slightly less!
I won't do it at all
This price seems a little low to me for a such a huge amount of work.
For an extremely large consultation fee and a moderately high markup I think I could find an exorbitantly high priced architect to get them finished up to the point you could hire Scott at a relatively low rate to clean the plans up and add a few crappy ray traces to sweeten the deal.
Wow! Now I see what everybody is talking about
when they point out how helpful everyone on this
forum is.
And Perry, thanks for your generous offer.

When I purchased my spread here the main house was
in the middle of a major (non-permitted) remodel. I asked
the owner (a sweet old lady) if there were some plans of
the project so I could see what she had envisioned for
the project. She assured me she had some plans and
that she would dig them up for me. Well, here's the plan.

Whatever you buy just get one with the best video card and CPU you can afford. Those are the 2 things that mean the most.
Those and a SSD.

Waasup D. Scott? No update? Are you going to leave us all hanging?
How did the call to the cable company go? Is Dawn sleeping with the
fishes? Let me guess, to make up for it they gave you a dedicated
fiber optic line run on a six inch diameter cable. Now when you hit the
download button all of Southern California temporarily drops off the grid.
Just wondering....

LOL! I don't remember which of the first astronauts it was.
Alan Shepard, I believe, who when asked what he was
thinking while sitting on top of a rocket about to be launched
into space replied that he was thinking that the rocket had
been built by the lowest bidder.
BTW, I think I'm beginning to see why your internet connection
is so slow. Time-Warner isn't going to upgrade service to that
overpass any time soon.
