I guess Autogroup isn't really an interface thing.

Materials for rind, flesh, and stem. Expression can be happy or sad. I've had this for nine years; I finally took the inline material definitions out.

As is often the case with puzzling intermittent problems, I was working too fast and not paying attention. After running a VR and viewing it in QuickTime, I would return to AC and run it again. Trouble is, sometimes I left the VR open. It took me an embarrassing while to figure out that those VRs were winding up corrupted on the second pass. In further testing, sometimes the VRs would be too corrupt even to open.

So the concrete tip is: Don't redo VR objects while they're open. Maybe this is 'duh', but there are filetypes that can be rewritten while open in other apps: Preview has no problem with me overwriting open image files, e.g. And it's common to let AC have most of the screen area, so who knows what else is open in the background.

The meta tip is: If a weird problem crops up when you're rushing, it's very likely a normal problem that either wouldn't happen or wouldn't seem weird if you weren't under deadline pressure. When you see something weird, slow down, pay attention, and fall back on the good workflows you practiced back when the wolves weren't at the door.

I added an option for an elliptical curve. Original and download link here.

With sea level set correctly, you can build your site model mesh using sea level topo data. Level dimension texts have autotext elements that can refer to sea level. Our standard story level markers and elevation marker objects can refer to sea level or project zero.

Reference levels are set in the Working Units and Levels preferences dialog.

Leave the 'relative to' marker on project zero. The sea level value is the elevation of project zero in the real world, which is usually the finish floor of the main story of the building. This value needs to be entered as a negative number, because it is below project zero. If you change the actual elevation of the project, you need to recalculate the sea level value and change it.

Sea level and the second reference level are only for display and input assistance. Elements are always placed relative to their stories and project zero. If you change sea level, you don't have to worry about your site mesh moving around, even if you used sea level values to set it up.

He was raised on literary and general cultural irony but concluded that the ironic position risked disengagement from the reader and isolation from reality. Which reality might be painful. Which pain might be Too Much.
