-I can't get the upload either.
-Large files are killing me (slowly)
-Autolisp goes: I'm a ceramic artist when I'm not remodeling houses.  I like to do things myself but I am stuck on a plateau with Autocad Arch.  If Greg spent that kind of time (which worries me because he knows what he is doing and I am a newbi) to help me out I am all over it.  
-I really appreciate the opinions expressed here.  Obviously I will give it all a try and see what works for my situation.   
 
-What is the proper way to give Greg C. my email?
 
Thanks to all of you!

I can't download the routine. I keep getting an error saying the page cannot be found.

as you probably know 3d models = large file size . a autolisp file of just a few kilobytes can make a model millions of kilobytes in size. try using my bearing routine thats just been posted and let me know what you think.
I wrote a routine for jon that will model his range hoods for him. He can make them any size he wants. It took about 2 hours to write the program. jon send me an email and I'll send you the program

I just don't understand why you would spend a lot of time writing a lisp routine to create a 3D model. It just seems kind of pointless because once the routine creates the model, it is no longer relevant because the model is done and you can insert it into any file you're working on. And in the time it takes to write the routine and get it working correctly, you could have just built the model anyway.
 
I don't know. Maybe you shouldn't listen to me. I'm an artist, not a programmer. I would much rather spend my time building a model than writing a bunch of code to build it for me. My fun comes from modeling, not typing.
 
You should do whatever you enjoy most.

Autolisp.  You make it sound so easy! 
I am not sure how I am going to get to a custom sheetmetal range hood but I am going to check it out.  It's Sunday so the library is closed but I requested the following:

I have been using autolisp to build 3d models for years and yes they are accurate. I do not have a routine to model refrigerators but this can easily be accomplished as a refrigerator in nothing more than a big box. There is no need to model the inside even though this is also possible. As far as seeing to believe a lot of people don't believe even after they see. They say "wow" man I didn't know autocad could do that. I have a routine for modeling Dodge USAF 500 pillow block bearings. It models approx 65 different bearing sizes 2 and 4 bolt with 2 different types of seals. I would like to post it but I,m don't know. I will send a copy to the webmaster and see of he will post it. If you send me an email I will send you a copy. As far as the refrig model being 50 ft wide, It may be a metric model and needs to be scaled down.
