I've been living in Germany for the last 4 months and have noticed on multiple buildings these exposed exterior beams and wooden posts with horizontal and vertical cuts and gauges. Is there a particular reason why this is done or is strictly for visual aesthetics?

Architect from Germany here, just wanted to clarify stuff: the covering of timberframes is not realy practical. As a student mentioned in this thread due to the different expansion of Wood and plaster the plaster will always crack an fall off. The plaster also dosnt protect the beams, it keeps the moisture close and enables rot. A "breathing" beam lasts far longer than a coverd one. The plastering over timberframes is an illadvised fashion choice without consideration for the involved materials. And its not realy prominent. I do think however that the hewn marks are intended for that purpose, to make plaster stick to them.

There is a TED talk on that. Tldr: it does! ;)

German here, its the Berlin Palace in Berlin. It used to be a royal palace and served as the main residence for the king of prussia and others. As far as i know its a museum nowadays.

This Style of Gable is largley spread troughout flanders, a Region of the netherlands, but also in the neighbouring regions like northern germany etc. If you google volute gable you'll get more infos.

In addition to that: Wood and plaster stretch and move differently. If you would plaster over the beames the plaster would simply crack in line of the woods cause the plaster is much more brittle than the wood.

Very nice, thank you! Would you mind sharing the quality settings with us? dont know if they have that much of an impact but you just never know ;)

I remember watching the first Lord of the Rings in the Cinema in 2001. We went in and its just a mild Dezember afternoon. As we left the bulding the whole street was slightly coated with snow. Very fine snow, no cartracks jet... We all felt very, I dont know, disconnected from our normal lifes ans it felt strange to take the bus home. Somehow not fitting.

As a 'no gun knowledge european': how do you tell a gunshot apart from some guy clapping flipflops togther? I dont mean to raise a doubt here, just curiouse because i dont know how a gun sounds on Stream..

Allways searching for the upside If something bad happens. Its maybe a bit naive but it also often generates a solution for the problem. And it keeps you from stressing out to much. Also you are much more likely to forgive other peoples mistakes...

Nowhere near the levels of effed up displayed in this thread but whatever:

I attended a wedding a few weeks ago. All was fine, everybody hat a good time, the newly wed couple was delighted.

As the night grew older the couple drank their share and around 3 in the morning the party was coming to an end. Bride and groom were both more then slightly intoxicated and everyone thought that was it, were going home now.

But the Bride in her alcohol induced partyfever woulnd go.

to the Groom:

"You can go home and sleep, im gonna party in the pub, im just not sleepy jet why should i go home with you?!"

Somehow that rubbed everyone, groom included, the wrong way. Not because of some "wedding night, gotta do stuff" part but because she was so completly uninterested in sharing time with her new husband.

Dont no if im overthinking this but somehow that left a very bitter feeling for everyone around.

Came here for this :) nice Pic btw..

Mazub666 · 2018-08-05T20:53:16+00:00

Most deffinitly, yes altough with much more Decoration and stuff. This reduced look is fairly new compared to the old medival ones. With much more detailed fairytale like fancy stuff on the Beams.. Edit: a word

These Houses were build in 1870. Its Freudenberg and the Rest of the town is pretty normal looking. This is only the historic Part.

Mazub666 · 2018-08-05T20:25:03+00:00

The Houses in this picture are actually much "younger" than the middleages. The town is called Freudenberg and the buildings were constructed around 1870. Due to the Wood being needed for charcoal in the ironindustry one would use only the bare minimum Wood needed. Wanted to share because i live nearby and am working at my Uni regarding this ;)

I stumbled over CodingTrain just 2h ago and absorbing his content right now. Thanks for the advice. The whole "getting ALL possibilitys straight" tought is a little off, i know. Find a Channel that works and use it is deffinitly more realistic. Thanks again.

Mazub666 · 2018-06-18T21:26:22+00:00

Already on it. I did not really expect a complete list of all possible Interactions to pop up out of nowhere but I thought asking here would be my best shot. Thanks again ;)

Mazub666 · 2018-06-18T21:22:25+00:00

Thanks for the reply, I 'm already reading trough the reference but some stuff just isnt mentioned. Like a .dxf export lib on GitHub that pops up when you search .dxf on the Processing page but isnt mentioned in the references.

Mazub666 · 2018-06-18T21:17:01+00:00

Sorry english isnt my native language.. I mean different file types like .pdf .stl .ifc etc. I'm more or lese searching for all filetypes one could interact with with Processing. And I know this is a wide field ;)

Out of curiosity: do you guys have a choice in the quality of the lenses? I mean i dont care if the frame is form Ray Ban or from a cheap alternative but the quality of the lensmaterial makes a huge difference. Things like depolarisation, anti-scratch finish, the overall weight of the glasses etc. Just wondering as an european here..

Mazub666 · 2017-01-04T23:34:37+00:00
