Sketchup mess-up

[notbob]

The term "canoe beer" pretty much covers 'em all.

As in "making love in a canoe"?

[dadiOH]

Yeah, it is both cute and accurate.

[Robert Bonomi]

It _should_ be better.

After all, they use _two_ horses --hence the name DOS Equus.

[Robert Bonomi]

He didn't say it was Sketchuup's -fault-.

He messed up, using it, and it _didn't_ warn/save him.

Like one of the classical sayings about Unix;

'It will _willingly_ hand you enough rope to hang yourself.'

The only 'problem' here is that Skechup didn't make it easy/obvious enough to do the checking needed to catch the inconsistency.

[notbob]

Bingo!

Equis. Dos equis. "Equis" is the Spanish pronunciation for "X".

Ouch. Nice.

The most interesting man in the world.

He has served as best man for grooms he's never met. He strongly abides by the motto: "Safety third." His garden maze is responsible for more missing persons than the Bermuda Triangle. Even watching him sleep has been described as breathtaking. He's never needed lip balm. He went to a psychic once...to warn her. The Aztec calendar has his birthday chiseled in. The front of his house looks like it was built by the Mayans...because it was. His tacos refuse to fall from the shell. If you were to see him walking chihuahua, it would still look masculine. Dicing onions doesn't make him cry...it only makes him stronger. He has never filled up on chips. Signs that say "This is not an exit" do not apply to him. If he rides with you in your car, its resale value will instantly increase. If he passed you on the street you would still feel stopped and said hello and asked you about your day. If you were trapped with him in an elevator, you wouldn't want to be saved. His business card just says, "I'll call you." It is said the sun comes up later on the 6th of May, in case his Cinco parties run long. The Mayans prophecized his birth. He once taught a German Shepard to bark in Spanish. He serves sizzling fajita platters barehanded. Bulls flat-out refuse to fight him. His charm is so contagious; vaccines have been created for it. Years ago he built a city out of blocks. Today, over six thousand people live and work there. He is the only man to ever ace a Rorschach test. Every time he goes for a swim dolphins appear. Alien abductors have asked him to probe them. If he were to give you directions, you'd never get lost and you'd arrive at least 5 minutes early. His legend precedes him, the way lightning precedes thunder. People hang on his every word, even the prepositions. He once challenged his own reflection to a staring contest. On the 4th day, he won. He can disarm you with his looks, or his hands. His mother has the word "Son" tattooed on her arm. He can speak French, in Russian. He'd show his feminine side...... If he had one. If he disagrees with you, it is because you're wrong. In museums, he is allowed to touch the art. Even his parrot=92s advice is insightful.. His shirts never wrinkle. He is left-handed. And right-handed. Even if he forgets to put postage on his mail, it gets there. He once knew a call was a wrong number, even though the person on the other end wouldn=92t admit it. You can see his charisma from space. He was once found guilty, of being innocent. When he wakes up the roses smell him. His bear hugs are actually hugs he gives to bears. You cannot buy him, but occasionally trimmings from his beard come up in auctions. and "he once had an awkward moment... just to see how it feels"

you didn't see this? ""

[Robert Bonomi]

What are you trying to do??!!!!

Confusing a good story with -facts-.

That that's a crime that can get you thrown off the Internet *entirely*, is a fact you are aware of, right?

[Kevin]

How exactly is Sketchup supposed to tell him the numbers he put into AutoCAD are wrong? Or is it supposed to explain that boxing up all the parts before checking them is a bad idea?

I just throw dimensions onto the 3D drawing and print it with however many views I need to get the point across.

[dadiOH]

Well, I am now :)

I presume I shouldn't run for public office either, right?

[Leon]

If you use Cut List 4.0 you can select components that you want, create a report of pieces needed with correct dimensions as drawn, with out a single dimension on the drawing. That file/report can be read by your or imported into an optimization program.

=A0Or is it supposed to explain that boxing up all

Ouch!

I have my first test run of about a dozen each of a dozen products to try and officially launch my woodworking kit business and getting to the finish line is like running through molasses. My real job, family, drinking, chasing women, home repair, lack of funds, etc. are all conspiring to slow me down. I am so close I am just trying to button up the last few items and yes, took a risk to get things boxed and out of the shop so I could have room to try and actually assemble a few items, take pictures, etc.

I have only had one or two small snags... so far.
