Agreed. Craig and I have kicked around some possibilities, but I'd prefer to discuss them over the phone, instead of even using e-mail.

How are you for Saturday? Let me know directly.


Cheers,

No, we all want a comfy toilet seat, but we'll take a well balanced Tau Zero.

In case I didn't mention it previously, I'd like to be on both lists please.

Cheers,


Carl,

I'd also like the opportunity to speak over the phone with you. I'm likewise available on Saturdays, but after 3 PM Central; Saturday mornings are already committed to other duties.

Like Jay said, we've discussed some possibilities; I've even thought about a few additional things that might interest you. One day we need to set up a NetMeeting voice-and-video conference so we can all crack our monitors...

(counting) Me, Bill, Craig, Andrew Scott down under. That's four. Oh yeah, and I built the prototype for Carl.

My math skills must be really bad tonight. So I'm off to bed.


Cheers,

Cheers,


I've built two, and I thought there might have been one other soul attempting the project; my math ain't what it used to be, either. That's why I use a computer; I can't think that straight...

Last night and tonight, I could have used a pair of hunter's socks...

If you're reading this message, I think you're already on the second list -- there's the general YORF where everyone begs and pleads; and then there's this YORF, which is by special invitation and where you can drool with respect...

Red face Snapshots vs. drawings

Now all I need is a hand model.

Or a block of styrofoam, some toothpicks, and a roll of blue painter's tape.

Question Rocksim Images?

Jay, have you tried using Rocksim to create the images you need for the instruction pages? I have always thought it might be possible. I also wonder if the Rocksim Image files would transfer into a publisher program?

Save the images through RockSim's "Export 3D Image" menu option, and make the image a JPG. Fill the window with your image before saving; when you insert the image into Publisher, you can go into the properties of the image and scale it back down there.

I have been creating a special "exploded" file for getting individual pieces of the model, hiding various pieces that I don't need to see and rotating / zooming the ones I do. Works well enough...
