You are upset because I want to keep the thread on topic? Rather ironic.

Disappointed rather than upset, and that certainly not with the alleged topic.

I am discovering that the SQUISH command gives you a part with a lot less lines on it. This may not seem like much, but it is less to have Photoshop out, when making the final parts. The more I read up on it, the more interesting it sounds. Since I work with metal (I have a small machine shop) I can really see how this could be helpful. I think I am going to have to explore this command more. There are other attributes I was reading up on that would be too much to go into, but I am happy I added it in, you never know. I am presently retrofitting a fiberglass fairing lower section onto my Suzuki and I already have a few ideas how to "Squish" the template.

I don't know much Photoshop. Are you dealing with a vector or raster image when removing lines? I'm very curious about the techniques people use in paper model design.

Gentlemen,

Breathe, and step one step back

Once, you took GB's dig personally, it was not directed to you, and yes i agree, your question was not answered.

Carl, Once has a valid question about the script, which you didn't answer.

If we all can relax, and learn something, this will be a happier thread in no time

I disagree, Rick.

I intended to offer a tiny help to some folks.

Once wants to talk about something else. I have no interest in how he models or in his theory of modeling. I will not here answer, if indeed there was a question rather than a challenge, anything on the topic that he or anybody else cares to bring up.

I have no objection to him starting a thread to talk about it. I don't see why it should be in a thread that is on a different topic entirely.

Why can't I just post some little bitty advice to people without being attacked?

Carl

Carl,

He did ask why one would opt for squish.

Beats the heck out of me. I just outline the finished parts, put what I want on them, flatten the image and save it.

The thread was about Squish though, and when you figure how much these programs cost, it's nice to find out something you can get for it, especially if it all of a sudden gets hard to get.

"Once", you have 8 posts on this forum. There are people here who's generosity is unbelievable, not just in knowledge, but in ways that you could not possibly know with your short time here. I would research some of the members you are discussing with, then, with your new found information, you can have a mutually respectable exchange, especially in light of one who is extremely established in this hobby, and has proved it, many times over, (not me, incidentally).

Sometimes a little research goes a long way.

So what? It is not the topic of the thread.

I started the thread, I pick the topic, right?

Let him start his own thread.

... and why are you now attacking me?
