very interesting post... well written... and insightful... even in the admission of insights that came seemingly "too late" to help... but it sounds to be as it was meant to be... we are given many chances to apply our skill integrity, and ability to learn & grow... and when we accept such an...

very cool chairs Brian!!

this is a last minute idea to create a large sculpture with simple affordable 2D routing. I have just barely enough time to do what I am trying to do. The file needs to be sliced digitally, or the idea needs to be retired... ..but Wayne has it figured out in Rhino, and has agreed to help me...

yeah... I didn't read up but if that is the sensor that detects media width... mine ceased to work once... I ordered another one ($35 or so) without even really looking at the "failed" one... and when the part arrived, I looked at what screws I needed to remove for the swap, and realized mine...

oh yeah, by the way... for those who may not have seen it, here is what I created with that file a few years back.. and I have also made a mold of it & reproduced the sculpture with a faux bronze finish. or...

this is distorted, but it's still cool, so thought I'd share it... someday I would like to create a model of the islands with a 3D sea floor like this:

Techman, I don't know if I explained it as well as i hoped, but if you imagine slicing down through a model of the island, I want very narrow slices that have no 3D contour on the surface, just a simple cross-section profile, but another similar cross-section every 4" to 6", and the same series...

Wayne, As stated in my private message, that looks like you have an equally good (or perhaps better) program to get the job done in... but more importantly, you seem to know a way to do it in Rhino, and I still don't know how to do it in Enroute... so I will continue the more detailed...

that is "sweet" as you put it! I live in a melting pot of cultures as well, and have (almost) always enjoyed the more challenging conversations where I confront English as a second language. That is one of the joys of traveling in my opinion, so why shouldn't i enjoy finding that same diversity...

ha... sightline skunked me on both counts while I was typing so damn slow :)

create your desired arch or wave shape, use the type-on-path tool, wait to apply all your outline effects after perfecting the type-on-path layout & converting the text to "outlines" also, if you warp text & the display warps, but not the actual vectors and nodes, you can go to Object > Expand...

I think paneling it is what Brian is suggesting too but paneling it just gives me 3D segments, I can see how that could be a step closer, with less work then reprocessing the bitmap slices I was writing Wayne about, and should maintain the relative heights... but I still hope to find a software...

Just getting back to a new day... Will post more later... Artbot. I don't have rhino, but if you think it will do this, are you able to run a test? I converted my DEM files for the islands years ago... and have only used the resulting ,tiff files since then. I will hunt down the DEM to send...

left to right, so they will all have flat bottom edges, that could seat in a gridwork of notches cut into a 5' x 10' base, routed to the the shape of the island, with grooves matching the grids in my image... and they will all have the topographically correct profile of the island, to scale, at...

I know I can do the kind of slicing that will make several tiers of routed work that stack up higher than your gantry clearance... but that is NOT what I want to do... my project is a bit more obscure I fear & I don't know where to begin looking for a software solution besides asking here (or...

I didn't know about that pressurization thing at first either... my training was all over the phone, & we had 10 hours of delays with trying to do set-up and training, finally waiting until after two visits by HP techs trying to get my brand new machine to print... but in any case... after not...

I think Gary (GB2) might have the right set-up to run a small time test for you to get real life comparisons, apples to apples with you own software's time on said file...
