Good evening!My mate would like some free CAD software in order to model the interior of a transit van.
Any suggestions?
edit: also, where would I get a plan of mk1 transit? (so I know where the wheel arches are and stuff)
editedit: for vitsa. Free or "free".
editeditedit: Or the dimensions of a mk1 transit? I'm really shit with a tape measure

while there is open source CADlearning it would take longer than whittling a 1:1 scale transit interior out of a solid block of tungsten with a bogbrush
use sketchup instead

thanks. Nope... listen to the meep.Sketchup is your free and reasonably easy-to-get-into friend.

Oooh while you're here... Apparently some British lighting engineer caused the problemThey've put out a fatwa on him.
lucky blokelast time I had a fatwa...etc
Haha, I was just about to postthis: http://www.huffingtonp... and tell him one of his lightbulbs has blown...
I've just been reading that!Not remotely surprised.
Electrical Issues? No Shit. when I was there in November the installation was terrifyingly shonky. What you have to realise is that that building is a 5 star hotel with a third world country stuck on top.
If you find the full AP story that that's subbed from, there's a great quote from a visitor:
"The tower was projected as a metaphor for Dubai. So the metaphor should work.”
Strikes me the metaphor is working just fine there...

If you only want internal dimsMK1 & MK2 are the same I'm sure
Best bet is to get a tape measure out and survey the bugger anyway.Cowjam - what does your mate want to do with it? Is he making a shagginwagon?
a MK1 nust be rarer than a Bristol virginby now
She.Yes, she is. The inside rear is stripped down to external walls, it's going to be rebuilt and she'll be ordering a custom made 'rock & roll' bed for the back.
If you are of a naughty persuasion,you can torrent AutoCAD, Microstation and Vectorworks quite easily (I got all three in an evening), though there'll be a bit of a learning curve on them. But yes, Sketchup is very easy to use, though you'll have to pay for a license to get a version that will export any other CAD file format than a Sketchup model - no dwgs, dgns, vwxs or dxfs.
or you could email a sketchup file so someone you might now who might have a licenseand they could export for you...
Might just be one or two of us here...
Doesn't sound like he'd need to export anyway...

You're right, she won't be exporting itta to everyone. She's giving sketchup a go.

why not just by a mark 1 transit for 30 quid?

Can't even get a door skin for that She's got a transit (cost a tad more than £30)
She wants to model the insides before we get it built. Fortunately a good friend is a coachbuilder.

it sounds like a fun project what's it going to be?
Shag wagon.It's was a camper when we bought it - high roof, rear door, tiny excuse of a kitchen. It's been stripped out, it's going to be proper pimped. The coachbuilder and his mate are doing the insides, I'm doing the electronics (might get a real person in to do the mains loop) which'll include a built-in computer, stereo, etc and we'll be putting a couple of beds in. Then we'll hit the road at a max of about 55mph.
are you trying to shag this women in her van?I'm sure dinner and nice walk would work as well. They you don't have to arse about with van
No I'm not.I might want to borrow her shag wagon for a weekend on occasion though.
If you are looking into running all that kit then I suggestfitting an alternator off as late a model diesel that you can fit plus two batteries and a split charge circuit, then you'll be able to run an inverter for modest mains powered stuff
solar panels heinz tinned ravioli I was only planning on running stuff(other than internal lights) with the engine on, or when we're hooked up to mains.
Do I still need a beefier alternator?
sam at cowjam.net if you want to give me some idiot proof advice :)

I had a lookI couldn't find a mk1 or 2.

Exposure to gay porn affects children's safety how?.
They may geta bit of balloon in the eye
Which eye?:¬)
Because it promotesbum sex between the kids.
I'm intrigued by the 'gay chaps getting their kicks from some balloons too'.
What do gay chaps do with balloons?

Bend overand I'll show you . . .
Goodness!Ok, so a flaccid balloon is blown up whist inserted up the bumhole? Or am I thinking about this too much. Which I am, I can tell you.
well, good lordi looked, who'd have thought it.
it's mostly hairy blokes with balloons. weird.

You need your wife to walk in at the moment that site showed . . .
she already knows... They'll catch AIDS. balloon AIDSis nearly as bad a baboon AIDS
Safety on the internet,ie. not accidentally being exposed to things they should be.
Assuming you mean shouldn't be -how is this different to heterosexual porn?
Who said it was? So you are saying that pornographyrepresents a danger to children?
Personally, I was pointing out that the phrase 'safety on the internet'was not the same as 'safety'.
Makes no difference . .
it doesn't matter what kind of porn site it isyou plonker
They might start putting balloons up each other's bottoms when you're taking them shopping in Tesco.
we'll remind you of that when your kids are hanging out on gay fetish sites Anyone else thinkwe should be calling the social services about now?
I explain things to my children as they ask.I have been asked about gays by the eldest two and explained it.
I don't want them to be watching porn yet, but I don't consider it dangerous. I found a wank mag in a hedge when I was about 8 and it was mildly amusing, rather than anything else.

I don't mean about gays,that's largely irrelevant. It was more about your kids watching fetish porn.
Don't forget things are significantly different for kids these days. The internet is mostly porn with an icing of other stuff. They're not going to find the odd mag in a hedge, they're going to be seeing lemonparty and tubgirl every couple of weeks once their mates discover it and mail it round.

Yes.They see stuff in image searches from time to time anyway - there is no avoiding it. Interestingly, and this is so very different to me as a boy, they find it irritating and discard it in the way we disregard irrelevant results.
In away this is good, but I do see that all the girls I know in their 20s do things which only a few girls would do when we were young. Those girls seem like they have been abused because of porn to me, but the way the next generation treat it as a nuisance is likely to balance things out again, I hope.

You watch girls in their 20's performingpornographic acts on the internet ?
That is not what I am saying,but yes, of course, don't you?

In one year in the Trust2,840 people fell over once. One person fell over 23 times.
I hate those ambulance chaser adverts on daytime TV"I was walking across the lobby at work and I fell over cos I'm too fucking thick to look where I'm putting my feet."
I couldn't believe the Payday Loans adverton daytime telly, 2356% APR. I had to read it at least twice to make sure I wasn't going mad.
yup.It's for the desperate. Cashing cheques at those places is also expensive, and I'm glad I no longer need to do it.
This lot It may not be illegalbut it must be immoral.
It's like those Brighthouse cunts, convincing people that a flat screen telly and playstation is just what they need because it will only cost them 50p a week from their giro but at an APR of about 40%.

As Anne Widdecombe said on telly last night,the problem is coveting. If we stuck by the ten commandments we wouldn't be in such a financial mess.
You covetAnne Widdecombe ?
What's the old saying..."every dog has it's day"
Ive seen her in her young tory days, looking like the above,and giving a very good speech.
I'd have wanted a pint or two, but I'd have put her through an early day motion or two : )

I've been enjoying that showbut I found it really hard going having her face and voice on my fucking telly for an hour.
she really is a vile human being.She kind of ruined the programme for me, I had been enjoying the series up until that point.
It's the only one I've seen,and I only saw the second half.
I quite enjoyed it. It was obviously heavily edited, but I thought that chap and stephen fry were getting a bit het up and missing the point when she was speaking to them one on one.

I don't think it was them who missed the point,it was most definitely her.
what program are you talking about?..
Anne asked about the ten commandments.Fry attacked the Catholic church.
That's missing the point.
If Louie Theroux had asked Fry about the ten commandments do you honestly think everyone would be behind Fry if he attacked Judaism in his reply?

this ^If you look at it over the time period involved it seems ok, it's only when you see it as an annual figure (which it would never be) that you realise how expensive it is.
You're right though, it's only for those already who are pretty dead financially - people who can't get overdrafts with the banks.
You're right though, it's only for those already who are pretty dead financially - people who can't get overdrafts with the banks.
Plus a £14.75 per £50 finance chargeso £1500 is £1942.50 before we start with the interest.
ouch I don't wish to highlight your idiocybut the "finance charge" is the interest.
You can't borrow £1500 for a year. It's cash til payday - the terms are very short. You borrow £50 you pay £60 back. It's an astronomical APR because you're paying 20% in one or two days. If you're paying 20% every two days then the APR is utterly massive, but it never get to that because you can only ever borrow for a couple of days.

I think they'll happily keep on charging interest as long as you likeI'm sure defaulting is a large part of their business plan, doubt they'd be making their admin costs back otherwise
Yup.Most of those will be geniune falls. After operations people tend to think their legs work when they don't, so a fair portion is people going for a piss after an anaesthetic without calling for help first.
I did that in the middle of the night after an operation.I woke up, stumbled to the bog, attempted to start a piss then the next thing I remember is being on the floor covered in piss with my cock out and a nurse standing over me. Actually when you put it like that it doesn't sound too bad...
Anyway. somehow I'd managed to pull the emergency cord whilst passing out so the nurse came to check on me. I had been warned to ask for help if I needed to go to the toilet but I decided to ignore their advice.

aha.But no, I deal with clinical incidents. The funny stuff, like people falling over or throwing a strop, is handled by the health and safety team.

by minibus?or the three peaks yacht race?
by foot.
I was meaning the bits in between the walkingthere's a race in June- starts at barmouth in Wales. Sailing leg to Caernarfon, runners go up Snowdon. Then, sailing leg to Whitehaven, runners get on bikes, cycle into the lakes and then run up Scafell Pike. Then a long sailing leg to Fort William, followed by a tun up Ben Nevis. Teams of five- two people to sail the yacht, three running up the hills together. Takes three to five days.
I did it a couple of years agoI was surprised and a little dismayed by the height of Ben Nevis .. I enjoyed it and looking back I wouldn't mind doing it again, but on the day I did promise myself that I would never do it again
Make sure you take those hill climbing sticks that you thought only the old / infirm need

Nevis is a shit walk unless you go up the back way.The 'tourist' route though is extremely dull and rather depressing.Backwards and forwards,backwards and forwards,backwards and forwards,up, up, up. Zig zag, zig fucking zag.
I've been up 4 times and each time fucking clouds came in when we got to the top so no view.

We were there one February,clear skies, snow on the ground. Thought 'fuck Nevis' I can't be arsed with it again, so went up the one opposite. Got to the top, still clear, snow, no-one on top of Nevis. I just think it's not meant to be.
There is a way up the back which is much better.
Nothing can compare with Aonach Eagach in Glencoe though.
