Hey there Sacramento ArchiCad User Group folks…

I’ve been thinking for some time of getting the SACUG back into a more active mode… been talking to the folks at my firm about it on and off for a bit – they are in favour of this being a more active group, and my putting some time into this effort – then recently Tom Simmons reached out to me and directly asked me to get this ball rolling again…

So:

I think we should start meeting again.

I think that we should target once a month, with even the possibility of twice a month, but play that by ear initially, based on availability and perceived benefit of the sessions.

We could do as we have done, and see about meeting @ SMUD as we used to, or we could use the large conference room here @ Mogavero if we want access to an easier-to-use 80” screen, plus a kitchen with coffee and all that sort of thing, if people want to do that. Or we could rotate meeting places to have a bit of variety.

One potential advantage to using the Mogavero conference room is the proximity to midtown/downtown if we were to set up a meet & confer on ArchiCad followed by out to socialize for any with the time to do it scenario; the countervailing potential advantage to SMUD is that it’s basically “neutral” territory. We’ve not met at SMUD for a long time now – Jim would have to weigh in on whether he thinks that could still be a long term sustainable strategy for us.

Tom has offered to help us with promoting this and having some web resources available for us as we need them.

So I want to throw this out there for some general discussion:

A) Who would be interested enough to show up if we did reconvene?
B) Anyone have any objections to this effort, to me acting as a focal point for that effort, etc etc.?
C) Where do people want to meet? Alternate ideas of meeting places/times/methods?
D) General discussion – any angles to this you feel we need to consider, special pet projects you’d want addressed, things you’d like us to reach out to ArchVista or Graphisoft directly to get support/answers for?

From my perspective, SMUD rooms have become a nightmare with the HQ remodel going on.  As for my attendance, I’m still in the same boat.  I haven’t used ArchiCAD in at least 5-years and still with v9.  Please place “L” on my forehead. I’ve added your direct email address Gerard just in case this does not get thru the googlegroup route.  For some reason I’ve been able to receive but not send anything thru that route.

Hello Gerard,

I tried to respond to your initial message in google group but wasn’t able to so I’m also emailing my response directly.
See my answers below in RED.

Best,
Dustin Littrell

So I want to throw this out there for some general discussion:

 

A) Who would be interested enough to show up if we did reconvene?  I am planning to attend, thank you for working on this!
B) Anyone have any objections to this effort, to me acting as a focal point for that effort, etc etc.? No objections, great idea.
C) Where do people want to meet? Alternate ideas of meeting places/times/methods? Mogavero is a great location, 6pm?
D) General discussion – any angles to this you feel we need to consider, special pet projects you’d want addressed, things you’d like us to reach out to ArchVista or Graphisoft directly to get support/answers for? I’d like to learn how to “quickly" produce photo-real renderings within ArchiCAD since it’s become much easier in latest versions of AC. More clients are asking to see these but I don’t want to make a career out of producing these. Also, “best practices" for a small office and help identify training resources for a new AC user.

I’m in. Wednesday is my only day with a scheduled thing going on. I am driving no matter where we meet.
One of the issues I’d like to figure out is how to use the BIMx model for/with my clients as a more integrated tool in my services. I know how to produce it, but really not use it.

OK folks, the consensus seemed to be positive for our restarting, and it sounds like SMUD's not the best option.

We've several folks who've volunteered spaces, and I think we could plan on a circulating meeting method, and this way those who wish to showcase can do so if they choose.

We've folks asking to join and rejoin our brave little band... so I feel like we're moving the right direction.

Now: day/date to meet, location for first meeting!

I propose we meet prior to the end of this month, just to get our beds back into that space. 21 Wed is out, but short of that, we can use one of the Mogavero conference rooms after hours without issue, or there's an offer from Bruce to have the meeting in Davis at Indigo - let's get some votes going here on place and date/time!

It is good to know what god is capable of.  Omnipotent, shy of Wednesdays.  Since god is everywhere, I didn’t know he/she had to drive.  Couldn’t help myself.

Re: modeling:

These days I only do head shots and distant action shots…. I use a standard model release such as can be found on the NAPP website, and my day rates are reasonable – I’ve life drawing figure work background, and so can do dynamic gesture sketch poses, flowing from one to another with gaps of 0:30 – 1:30 depending upon difficulty and how advanced the drawing class is… ;]

Sounds great. A non-Wednesday coming up soon then – where?

I will break the tide and commit. It will be a hectic week for me, so I am staying quiet on the sideline a bit. 
But count me in!

Maybe a colorist or a mathematician. 
Unfortunately, not a member
Of the LGT or the Locomotive Group. A very popular name in Hungary, and due to my advanced age, I confused it with another...
Still have the original LP of their first album from 1972. Year I graduated high school. Good rock and roll!

It’s a common name in Hungary. Hungarian WP has 22 listed on the disambiguation page. (I thank my parents’ foresight for giving us middle names)
I didn’t know there was a Szabo Zoltan in LGT. Or are we thinking of two different things?

I may have run this by you all some time back.   I modeled the last couple sites with the mesh tool and like the way
it can be used to pick up the topo line elevations from the civil drawing.  What I don’t like is the terrain undulations are not too visible and am thinking of going back 
to using the slab tool which gives you this stepped looking site but is readable.

What are you all doing and is there a way to see the undulations with the mesh tool?

thanks

In the 2d appearance setti g in the terrain tool you can set so that only user ridges appear...

thanks Gerard,  I got it and tried it but I still feel like I want the undulations to be more 3dish looking.  It is as though a different lighting angle might do it better.

Well I just found a Bobrow tutorial on terrrain modeling and showing how to use the mesh tool to fit a driveway into a sloping site.  It is making me rethink
and look to stay with the mesh since doing that with a series of slabs would be a pain

Unless you you were specifically after the "stepped” look... the mesh tool is the best for the job.
