Hi Vincent. Thanks for the welcome! I am glad you like our web site, but as I have said previously there is a lot more to do . There are some bugs to be removed and our user interface for 3DHOP is primitive. It needs a good overhaul. Our primary objective was to show case a subset of our data, where users can then request more if they like it.
I will start a thread regarding the use of 3DHOP if anyone wants to talk about it. I also just started with the Arches install and don't have anything up & running. Your facebook page has interesting projects and I am looking forward to see your web site ! regards Roshan On Thursday, 7 July 2016 16:31:59 UTC+2, Vincent Meijer wrote: > > Hi Roshan, > > Welcome to Arches!
