We've become aware that since late November some visitors in the Scandinavian region have been unable to access povray. This issue affects visitors whose ISP's rely on Telia. Sonera for transit or routing information (while there may be other backbone providers affected, we have not received examples other than Telia). Basically Telia are not receiving (or not accepting, we are not sure which) routing information for the network that povray. AS6. 06. 2). At this point the matter is out of our hands as it involves backbone providers and how they exchange BGP routing information. The issue has been brought to the attention of providers in both the USA (where our network is hosted) and Sweden, and we can only wait to see if or when they will resolve it.
Please also note that affected visitors will probably not be able to successfully email us regarding the issue if they use their ISP- provided email accounts as these will generally use the same routing tables as used for general web browsing. Using GMail or other non- ISP- specific services ought to work. We will update this post as more information becomes available.

Sketch. Up for Architecture: Details | Lynda. Voiceover] Hello and welcome to another installmentin Sketch. Up for Architecture. This one, as you can see, is number three,and we are going to be dealing primarily with detailing. We'll be building this thing from scratch.
Now on the next page of layoutwe'll look at the sequential approach to this. And whilst the modeling isn't particularly complicated,there are a few little bits and piecesthat we'll have to deal with. Profiles will be created for the window frame,for example, and all the seals.
But the rest of it is fairly straightforward. This is more about organizingyour content again in Sketch. Up. Now if you flick over to Sketch. Up you'll see what I mean.
This is the thing. Again, once you've made one of these,then you've got it as a component,and the rest of it is mostly rectangularwith a material applied,and we'll go through the application of materialsand the creation of certain types of materials. But it's this one that we'll be concentrating on,the Outliner and also the layers.
Okay, so control of the layers,control of the components within the modelallows you then huge amounts of flexibility. So we'll be creating about there's 2. I go right back to the first scene,let's flick back through to the blank. So this is where we start off, we start off with nothing,and then we start putting a trench, the footings in,the underground bricks and the blocks to the cavity width. Then we'll put the base fill in,then we're going to move inside, et cetera, et cetera,as we build this up, put the mesh in,and then we go through to the sill bricksand add the window. So all of this stuff will be generated in Sketch.
Up,and I'll show you how to apply the materialsto make it look a little bit more realistic. I've only got a couple of styles in this one,so there's no section cuts going to be usedbecause we're just stopping it short,we're using the modeling to explain a cutaway 3. Dwithout having to rely on section cuts inside of Sketch. Up,so that makes life a little bit easier,but also allows us then to show the construction content. Okay, so that's really what we're looking at in a nutshell. As we move through the chapters,I'll explain all about the process.
