Re: Bonzai v SketchUP

nice question Matthew...
all I can say is I've been there before, and stilt I have to find an answer... for some reason I never felt like home in both SU and Bonzai, so I'm still with SU free (for what it costs...)
look forward to hear from others too...

cheers,
Alessandro

Re: Somewhat shameless plug

Re: New version?

I was also concerned and asked Ilexsoft directly a couple weeks ago. The news is good. Here is what I got as a reply: Yes, we are alive and well and still busy as usual.

Re: Paste one object inside another

interesting... it could be also a sort of workaround until bitmap tileable fillings are implemented (i mean paste an image and "filter" it through a polygonal "layer mask")

Re: Hierarchy and relationship of "pages" to "layers"

excellent explanation Matthew! it should be added to the HD manual indeed... now I'd only add an additional thought: sheets can also be used along with the Merge option (read "load into" ...don't know exactly what's the name of this feature in the english version since I use the italian on...

(while it works fine for all non-grouped objects). is there a way to do this without ungrouping and then grouping again? sorry if it's a newB question... thank you in advance, Alessandro OK, was a newB question i...

Re: Putting openings / breaks in walls

Roy, sorry I used the wrong word... I mean the first item in the "Type" menu, not the "Preset". Take a look at the shot to see if that's what you want: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2029627/HDshot.jpg EDIT: I just realized that the forum doesn't show the whole screenshot, you can see i...
