Warren, and all interested, please feel free to download two or three things from my web site with respect to 3d CAD. The links are on the main web page.
www.illustratingshadows.com Durer and CAD Calculating Shadows TCW and some DXF downloadable files All have been expanded in the last month or two. The first is the use of CAD applied to Durer's model, with examples of solar rays on the globe. The second expands on CAD as in Steve Luecking's work, and the thiord are some examples using TurboCAD release 9.1 and release 11, and some general DXF files. They show CAD in the light of better instruction/understanding, as well as in actual design. Thanks Simon --- Warren Thom <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi John, > > We missed you at the conference.
