I've been trying to figure out a way to easily/cheaply annotate some 3D sketches of cars/planes. At work we put stickers on these guys before we test them, we take movies of them during the test and then analyze the movies for the data we want. Right now, I've been taking a big sheet of pre-printed numbers about an inch tall cut into pieces (I know in advance what the numbers will be), tape the number beside the sticker and then use a simple point and shoot camera to take pictures of the pieces of paper, stickers and test article. This normal works just great, not so great if we have to re-do a previous test. That test article may no longer be, they certainly have removed our stickers one way or another. Also some of our test articles are big and don't really fit in the lens so swell so we can see the inch high numbers (from 50 and 60 feet away). I see that Sketch-up can import 3D models, but I don't see a way to specify the X, Y, Z location of an additional point. -- Take care | This clown speaks for himself, his job doesn't Wayne D. | supply this, at least not directly Of all the things I've lost, I miss my mind most ************************************************************************ * ==> QUICK LIST-COMMAND REFERENCE - Put the following commands in <== * ==> the body of an email & send 'em to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <== * Join the list: SUBSCRIBE COMPUTERGUYS-L Your Name * Too much mail?
