It's the case when the conversation thread is multiple levels deep and context is more likely to be confusing.

Was scouring the thread for this reason. Thanks Andy.

so true Bruce, figuring out how to move around in any 3D environment is the first big challenge. It's why I included it up above. It becomes pretty easy after using, but from a SolidWorks perspective, it is odd to almost always have your thumb on the Alt key to rotate. I'm hoping they offer an option later on for more view controls via the mouse.

your right. I totally missed that one. some great ideas in there. I've updated the post to include that video as well. thanks.

One thing I would really like from Disqus, is including my original comment in the reply emails from others.

We do this in some cases. Agree that it makes sense in all cases. Made a note about it, thanks.

Happy to hear that, Lars. The profile is one of my top favorite aspects as well, personally, and it's an area where we have lots of concepts in the cooker.

1. Disqus is definitely faster than a year ago. Latency from Asia is actually quite good but I do want to experience it from Asia for myself. And maybe with your connection.

2. The popup lets you login after you post. You can skip it (it won't ask you again).

3. Terrible to hear that you'd comment less because of issues -- how can we fix this and make you comment more? What are the most important things?

excellent rdo! thanks for mentioning that. I bet Andrew has had a hand in what's to come. :)

hey thank Roy. yep, that's part of the pain right now, but part of the joy that will descend upon you in the not too distant future. *biting tongue*

For now, (and because SolidWorks cant save backwards compatible) you can save out as a parasolid (.x_t) open it in SolidWorks2009 and save it as a .sldprt. or you can use the Collada exporter from SolidWorks Labs, which I haven't tried yet, so not sure if it will actually work, but modo does read collada formats.

Kram,

Works ok for me, I left you a test comment. Can you link me to a page that does not show your comments?

I've never skated a bowl, like a swimming pool bowl. Would love to try this one.

ha! good catch Chris... brings up a good topic of what they're planning to do.

Brad,

Can you shoot me an email with which post you're not seeing comments imported on? help@disqus.com

Thanks.

It looks like it working just fine =)

Thanks. a relative URL error... it has been fixed and all links should work.

Still, 377 in 12 months is a blur of posts blazing information out to my
brain and swamping it.

Re: The SolidSmack Year-end Smacktastic Smack Up

joshmings — Sat, 02 Jan 2010 11:03:49 -0000

just to clarify, it's 1029 total since the blog started. This year there were 377 posts... dang. :)

This is a home-made bike concept. you'd have to find a wide fork or have a custom one made that you could retro-fit to another bike. I've not been able to find one.

indeed, is such a pity, as is lacking conversion of lardball-calories into latent horsepower. for shame.

well, papervision3D can also be used with processing which Kyle is familiar with and talks about using in the instructable. could likely be used in conjunction with each other or just getting the scanned data into papervision's script. would be interesting to see.

Thanks Kyle! and thanks for doing the Instructable. very well described throughout. I'm watching your stuff to see what you do next :) have a great new year!
