![]() Of course, if there's an alternative to draw that car, I'd like to know it. By the way, it reminded me of Smitty, he, he. But I hate not to be precise if I can avoid it. The answer to my problem is given by the book too with this panel. The car lines vanishes to the same points as the street (so it is parallel to the buildings), so it is in theory very easy to do the drawing, but without that point I need to guess the measures eyeballing them from references and I liked to draw it with the correct proportions. What I'm drawing is a car in perspective (part of a panel I'm working on) and I'd like to use the height of one character to know the height of the car, then use that measurement to put the lenght and width in perspective to create a box to draw the car inside. ![]() It is a very useful point to do measurements. Over paper is simple to do it (well, if the VPs aren't too far apart), but in CSP, that should be even simplier, is not that easy (you need to make the canvas enormous to be able to work with it in case it is out the paper area). This is useful when drawing a building using perspective.Yeah, I knew that, but what I was trying to do is find this point: The Radial Ruler and the Straight Ruler were used to draw the fence. Now draw a horizontal fence in the orange work cell. Set ① Face Selection button to front face.įrom the ① Ruler tool select the ② Perspective Array Ruler and set ③ Phase to -1.0%. In the orange work cell use the Radial and Straight Ruler to draw a fence. Leaving the work surface as it is, from the ① Ruler toll select the ② Perspective Array Ruler and drag the ③ Phase slider right to -9.0%. This window is duplicated in the grid array, so it is easy to draw many windows. We will now use the Radial Ruler and Straight Ruler to draw a window in the orange work cell. When we have drawn a cube, from the ① Ruler tool we select the ② Perspective Array Ruler and drag the ③ Division Y, Division Z sliders right to determine the number of rooms. When you choose the Select Radial Ruler option it will look something like this and so by selecting ① arrow you can switch between the two. When you have positioned the radial mesh correctly, from the ① Ruler tool select the ② Straight Ruler.ĭrag the ① Rotation Thumb and position it vertically.Īlong the line of the Perspective Array Ruler we now draw a line using the the ① Radial Ruler.įrom the ① Ruler tool select the ② Radial Ruler, and choose ③ Select Radial Ruler. By tapping ③ Add Radial Ruler we are able to match to the second vanishing point.ĭrag the ① Center Thumb to match the second vanishing point. When we want to add a Radial Ruler, from the ① Ruler Tool we select the ② Radial Ruler. Since it is a two-point perspective, we need to match it to two vanishing points. Open the ① Ruler tooland select the ② Radial Ruler.ĭrag the ① Center Thumb to match the vanishing point. When you have arranged your cube to your satisfaction, tap the ③ Lock button. Return to the Canvas screen and drag the ① Vertex Thumb and ② Face Thumb to determine the size, position and orientation of your cube. Since the cube we are drawing is facing left, selecting the ① Face Selection button under the ruler functions and setting to facing right allows us to cleanly trace the cube we have created. The initial number of fractals is set to 3 for each Division, but, apart from the Phase slider, set all ③ Divisions to 1. Here I have tired to create an apartment block.įrom the ① Ruler function select the ② Perspective Array Ruler. You can slo combine with the Straight Ruler, Circular Ruler, and Radial Ruler to render backgrounds. From the Perspective Array Ruler in the Ruler tool you can render accurately drawings from a single-point perspective, two-point perspective, and three-point perspective.

![]() docx files imported into Nisus Writer Pro may lose complex formatting elements such as footnotes. docx, Microsoft’s newer Office Open XML file format, is more limited. Nisus Writer Pro (as well as Express) also provides excellent import and export support for Microsoft Word’s widely used. (In the early days, Nisus Writer “Classic,” as it’s now called, used a text format.) RTF isn’t proprietary and is supported by nearly all word processors and even by more basic programs like OS X’s Text Edit application, so if you need to open a Nisus Writer Pro file and the only program you have handy is, say, Microsoft Word, you will be able to do it. Fortunately, both Nisus Writer Pro and Express preserve one of Nisus’s original 1989 strokes of genius-namely, saving documents by default as RTF (Rich Text Format). If you share your documents with anybody else, file-format compatibility may be an important issue. While it didn’t make me yearn to be cloistered once again in the research library, I will admit that I was very impressed at how nicely the two programs work together. ![]() Back in my previous life as a university professor, I did all my bibliographies and footnotes “by hand.” For this review, I tested Nisus Writer Pro 1.4 with Bookends 10.6.1. For the kinds of merges that most of my clients have done over the years, Nisus Writer Pro does a terrific job and I can’t see how it could be made any easier.įor scholars, Nisus Writer Pro provides hand-in-glove integration with the very popular citation management program for Mac users,īookends from Sonny Software. (Tip: Use one-word placeholders, for example, FirstName instead of First Name.) And like Word, Nisus Writer Pro can also enter placeholders based on the evaluation of conditions, although this takes a wee bit of macro coding. It was a snap to pull data from a single group in my Address Book (or multiple selected groups, or all the records), but it was only slightly more difficult to export a merge (.mer) file from FileMaker Pro or a comma-separate value (.csv) file from Excel. I found creating my first simple merge document in Nisus Writer Pro much easier than doing the same thing in Microsoft Word. When it comes to merge tools, you may find that with Nisus Writer Pro you may not even need to read the documentation to merge. Want to add bookmarks and cross-references, so you (or your readers) can find their way around in long documents? No problem. Nisus Writer Pro can also lets you create an index and a table of contents. Nisus Writer Pro supports comments, and in my testing, I was able to move a commented document back and forth between Nisus Writer Pro and Word. Pro is designed for writing professionals and has the advanced document management features that are required by users who are not just writing, but producing documents. If Express as good as Pro in all those respects, why would anyone bother with Pro? Express is designed for students, business users, and, well, ordinary writers (which is to say, most users). ![]() Dying leads to a quick reincarnation, which is good since it means returning to the action quicker, but the problem comes from the fact that progress is recorded beyond the checkpoint. The presence of checkpoints is good, since restarting from the beginning of the level after every death can get tiresome, and most players wouldn't create constant saves unless they were preparing for a personal challenge. There is one thing that might irk some genre fans, and it is the checkpoint and progress system. The disappearance of corpses doesn't feel necessary, but the presence of a nearly blood-red room makes for a grizzly sight, so the change is for the better. The game makes the corpses disappear, but it leaves the blood to act as a marker that you've visited and fought in the area before. Thanks to the number of enemies you'll encounter at any time, that means loads of corpses and buckets of blood being spilled in the environment and on yourself, as evidenced by your blood-soaked firearms. We're not talking about something as advanced as Soldier of Fortune, but you will be separating heads from bodies and blowing apart enemies from their torsos almost constantly. If you had to look for something that can be considered new, it would be in the gore. ![]() Combined with item placement that also makes sense, it feels like a classic shooter that is more accessible compared to some of the more recent attempts that feel like they were only made for skilled enthusiasts. Movement is fast, but it doesn't feel like the run button is permanently on, so it doesn't feel like it's running too fast or out of control. Even though you can pull up a map to see where you are, the design feels intuitive enough that you'll rarely feel like you need it, even with the amount of backtracking you'll need to do. Those enemies come in numerous waves that aren't overwhelming, and the variety of each wave is reminiscent of the classics. The alt-fire modes - a charged-up shotgun blast, a quad-barrel shot, or a triple shot from a pistol - make it feel like there's some depth to the normal weapon layout. The shooting feels punchy enough that even pistols feel dangerous against enemies. None of this matters too much since the actual gameplay is absolutely solid. There's nothing new as far as mechanics or features go, so you aren't expecting a twist on the proven formula. Alternate fire modes exist for all of your weapons, and the game has a checkpoint system, so you aren't starting over from the beginning when you die. Every gun needs reloading after a few shots, and they fall under classes that determine the type of ammo they'll share. You can also jump, with a few areas requiring some light platforming. You need to pay attention to the vertical axis and not just the horizontal one. Enemies will remind you of carbon copies of id's monsters but changed just enough to make them less demonic and more alien. The level design follows the classic formula of slightly maze-like levels, where you need to find the right colored key to progress and an actual exit or elevator before the game takes you to the next stage. If you want to hit someone with a melee attack, you need to switch to your fists to punch them. The weapons you wield range from pistols to shotguns to grenade launchers, and a few energy weapons have been thrown in for good measure. Though it seems like it's lazy shorthand, the best way to describe the core gameplay loop of Prodeus is Doom with elements of later first-person shooters mixed in. ![]() If you have any questions, I'm happy to answer them - post a comment here, or email info (at).

"VR for Architects - Learn How to Make Your Clients' Jaws Drop!" The free webinar on May 4th (Peter jokes "may the force be with you") is titled: He actually saves time in client meetings - "they get it" and can make decisions more quickly. Peter says that setting things up for Twinmotion visualization adds about 5% more effort to his project hours, while giving him a powerful advantage in winning projects. You'll also see some rather impressive images and animations that Peter produces "almost effortlessly" from his ARCHICAD model. NEW: VR for Architects WebsiteĬheck out the new VR for Architects website for info on Peter's upcoming free webinar as well as the new Twinmotion course. The presentation was an eye-opening show revealing how far you can take your own ARCHICAD models - when you use these fantastic tools to their fullest potential. Peter was assisted in this presentation by his right-hand man, Chris Dvorak, who takes the design models Peter creates and develops them for working drawings as well as detailed visualization. I've just posted a recording of our April ARCHICAD USER webinar, in which Peter gave us all a tour of several projects, highlighting his efficient ARCHICAD design and documentation process as well as his groundbreaking usage of TwinMotion visualization and full Virtual Reality immersion (which he says “makes clients’ jaws drop”). Peter’s practice has gone from “taking anything I can get” - from local porch remodels on up - to whole house remodels and new luxury home design throughout the eastern U.S.īecause he’s become an expert ARCHICAD user AND an expert architect marketer. I’ve known Peter for a long time, originally as a member of my ARCHICAD Best Practices Course, then later as a charter member of my Internet Marketing for Architects course and the Architect Marketing Institute.

As it progresses, the lens gradually yellows and begins to cloud your vision. Cortical cataracts: A cortical cataract clouds the edges of the lens, called the cortex.Many people find that colors become less vivid, and night driving can be particularly difficult. These cataracts look somewhat like wheel spokes that point inward toward the center of the lens, causing light to scatter. Subcapsular cataracts: You may notice his type of cataract sooner because it develops at the back of the lens, directly in the path of light that is passing through on its way to the retina.Many people with this type of cataract experience problems with glare. It is most common in people who have had prolonged steroid use or suffer from diabetes. Common symptoms include blurry reading vision, halos and glares at night, and sensitivity to light.Ĭataracts are most often associated with the aging process, but can also affect younger people. Fading or yellowing of colors that were once vivid.Frequent changes in eyeglass or contact lens prescription.These cataract symptoms and vision changes could also be signs of a different eye condition: Eye injuries, certain medications, and genetic conditions can cause cataracts, even in babies. You may also notice that you blink more than usual to try to clear your blurry vision, or that you need more light to complete tasks that you were once able to do with normal light levels. If you suspect you may have cataracts, be very careful at night and don’t drive when your vision is compromised. The only way to know for certain if you have cataracts is to have your eyes examined by one of the cataract specialists at Eye Consultants of Pennsylvania. Our experienced doctors use specialized equipment to examine your eye’s lens and check for the presence of cataracts and other eye problems.Ī careful exam is the first step to discovering cataracts or ruling out any other condition that may be causing your eye problems. ![]() ![]() Your doctor will explain possible treatment options, such as cataract surgery, and help you make the best decision so that you can see the world clearly again. ![]() ![]() If not given, the item will be inserted into any slot. toSlot ? number The slot in current inventory to move to.fromSlot number The slot in the source inventory to move items from.This is the string given to peripheral.wrap, In this video I will show you 25 tips and tricks for how to manage your inventory in minecraft java editionIf you liked this video, please be sure to hit th. fromName string The name of the peripheral/inventory to pull from.Inventory must attached to wired modems which are connected via a cable.

They suggest that the music is all that matters, and it is the foundation of the pop genre, which they describe as "dirty pop" that you can't stop. They ask listeners if they ever wonder why this music gets them high, taking them on a ride and making their bodies start to rock. Throughout the song, NSYNC celebrates the power of pop music and its ability to make people feel good. They emphasize the importance of respect over superficial elements like cars and clothing. The band is confident in their style and message, conveying that they will continue to do what they like, regardless of criticism. The song also explores the criticisms directed at NSYNC specifically, as they discuss the animosity they feel from people who question the type of music they perform. The lyrics assert that pop music is not a trend, but rather a gift of melody that they will continue to bring until the very end. The band is sick and tired of hearing people criticize the pop genre, claiming that it is a trend that will eventually fade out.

STL Export Settings by Major CAD Software Mesh Quality vs File Size: Our Recommendations Angular Tolerance/Angular Deviation/Normal Deviation In the guide we will cover the following aspects of STL files and 3D Printing: We’ve been getting a lot of questions from new users about these types of faceted surface characteristics on their printed parts, so in the interest of helping everyone get the best possible prints from their 3D printer, we’ve put together this guide to creating high quality STLs that will make for great 3D printed parts. Have you ever 3D printed a part that had flat spots or faceted surfaces where smooth curves were supposed to be? Or maybe you’ve just seen a picture of a 3D print that looked like it belonged in some low-resolution CGI from the 90’s? You are not alone, and it’s not your 3D printer’s fault - the culprit is likely a lack of resolution in the STL file that was used to create the part! ![]() Sin hinders everything now, especially man’s experience of God’s presence. For Adam, perspiration and thorns will impede the promise of place. For Eve, pain overwhelms the promise of a people. These curses cut right to the heart of who they are and what they were made to do. Sin undermines humanity’s mission and the experience of God’s presence.īut there is a problem, isn’t there? Adam and Eve replace blessings for curses when they eat the forbidden fruit. Likewise, God’s presence was to spread to the rest of the earth through Adam and Eve’s exercising dominion (Num 14:21 cf. As the first couple’s family expands, so too will the garden’s borders and, with it, God’s presence. Adam and Eve are to do this in Eden, the epicenter of God’s relational presence in creation. They are to “be fruitful and multiply” in order to “fill the earth and subdue it and have dominion” (Gen 1:28). Humanity’s mission and the presence of God are inseparable. In the book of Revelation, Eden has returned and expanded into new heaven and new earth where all of God’s people enjoy his presence eternally. All of heaven has collided with the whole earth to make a perfect sanctuary for God to dwell with man (Rev 21:1-4). In the book of Genesis, Eden is the first couple’s home but, more importantly, it is God’s sanctuary-the garden temple where the Creator and his image-bearers relate (Gen 3:8).įast forward to the end of our Bibles and we see a very similar picture but on a much larger scale.

And though these divine realities are certainly not at odds, the biblical story does turn on God’s being manifest with his people in Eden, the tabernacle/temple, the incarnation of Christ, and the new heaven and new earth. We talk about God’s presence being inescapable and that he is “everywhere present” (Ps 139:5-12 1 Kings 8:27).īut it seems Scripture is more concerned with his presence manifest in relationship and redemption. There is a difference between saying “God is everywhere,” and saying “God is here.” The former is the default category for most Christians. The Bible emphasizes God’s manifest presence, not only his omnipresence. It is the holy and righteous One above who restores the broken and needy below. ![]() God does not come to us needy and wanting, but rather he comes to “revive the spirit of the lowly and the heart of the contrite” (Isa 57:15). God’s transcendence distinguishes him from the created order and puts things in their right perspective. ![]() No, God draws near out of the abundance of who he is. ![]() The Lord doesn’t relate to this world because he lacks something within himself. In other words, there is no deficiency in God that creation satisfies. But to understand God in full we must recognize that his drawing near to creation stems from his being distinct from creation. The Lord is “God in the heavens above (transcendent) and on the earth beneath (immanent)” (Josh 2:11). God is immanent because he is transcendent.
