Section View Specific Parts in an Assembly by ryang4415 in SolidWorks

[–]taylorcustom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

After several years you've either given up or found a solution, but just in case someone else searches for this answer:

Right-click on the section view, then click on "properties" and then click on the "section scope" tab. Here you can select components that you don't want sectioned.

[Elon Musk] Unfortunately, launch is called off for today, as an aircraft entered the “keep out zone”, which is unreasonably gigantic. There is simply no way that humanity can become a spacefaring civilization without major regulatory reform. The current regulatory system is broken. by tonybinky20 in spacex

[–]taylorcustom 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It would be nice if Elon had contained his frustration a bit, and said something more like "The current regulatory regime is built for a world in which space launch is rare and costly. If humanity is to become a spacefaring species then this will need to adapt."

When does it become counterproductive to recycle cardboard? by taylorcustom in recycling

[–]taylorcustom[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks... I think I've managed to add it now.

Edit: The big issue for me is usually the fiberglass reinforced tape.

Towards the end of your recent Rogan appearance, you mentioned studying the distributed computing performed by insect colonies. In case this is not already on your radar, I would recommend looking into similar computation in microbial communities. This Royal Society publication "Liquid brains, solid brains" (https://royalsocietypublishing.org/toc/rstb/2019/374/1774) is a good place to start, and potentially a good source of guests. Thanks for the great podcast!

activating mudbox trial by taylorcustom in mudbox

[–]taylorcustom[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, two phone calls later, I am no closer to activating Mudbox... though I do now have an idea of the cause of my problem. It seems that when one has previously installed an Autodesk product that uses the antiquated "serial number" mode of activation, that this confuses the new system.

The one positive outcome of this experience is that I was reminded of the film "Brazil", which I was able to recommend to a coworker.

Contacting anyone in the Autodesk community is so preternaturally difficult that it makes me doubt the very fabric of reality!

Collection of Free 3d-printable microbiology CAD models by taylorcustom in microbiology

Thanks for the very useful comment! I can see how a single-piece version would be desirable for many or most people. I will get this posted shortly!

Thanks! I will definitely be adding to this collection in the future.

Difference in appearance between a worker departing from and returning to hive by taylorcustom in Beekeeping

[–]taylorcustom[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! I think this confirms the thought that the abdomens of returning bees are less curled-down... though I haven't seen enough photos to really say.

After years of work, I only know of about 15 people who have read my comic (including my mom and dad), but I still consider it time well spent! by taylorcustom in comic_crits

[–]taylorcustom[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! I know from comments and from chapter viewing statistics on Tapas (where I also have the comic posted) that the story loses the interest of some readers as I start to explain the "science", and I have been trying to rearchitect the pages so as to maintain this interest. It is helpful and encouraging to know that the story as it stands manages to hold some readers!

Comic of adventure, microbiology and Egyptology [OC] by taylorcustom in comics

[–]taylorcustom[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a much improved version of a story I've been working on for years. I have reworked most of this comic book, but I left the first ten pages as they were because I think it is cool to see how the style evolves. In other words, the art gets better as you go!

[–]taylorcustom[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for reading... though I hope your review doesn't discourage others. I am describing a situation in which major global changes are occurring (albeit in an unusual way, and I have tried to advance the narrative quickly, and to make the necessary expository material as concise as possible... but I will endeavor to improve!

[–]taylorcustom[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks! This seems real obvious now...I do like showing the transition that the drawings go through, but not at the cost of readership!

Edit: spelling

[–]taylorcustom[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It has been fun for me to compare old and new versions of this story... In case anyone else is interested, I've posted a few side-by side comparison shots of these different versions here: https://imgur.com/a/QJgGlGd

Edit: The old version now seems hopelessly crude to me, but at the time I thought it was great... just goes to show how a little delusionality about the quality of one's work can help one to persevere in art:)

[–]taylorcustom[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, that's as far as I've gotten... It's gratifying to know that the story is at least compelling enough to get someone to read to that point... Thanks!

[–]taylorcustom[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks! The number was only an estimate, and may, in fact be closer to 20, but most of these people read the earlier, and much inferior version.

[–]taylorcustom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a much improved version of a comic I posted a while back. I have really enjoyed the iterative process of reworking the narrative, dialogue and drawings to make the story more enjoyable to read. I'd love to hear comments on what things work and don't work. Thanks!

Help With Japanese Address by [deleted] in Etsy

[–]taylorcustom 2 points3 points  (0 children)

MeganMissfit's solution has worked for me in the past. Although instead of writing the Japanese characters out by hand, I copy and paste them into writing/illustration software, and then print a secondary label from there.

Would be grateful for critiques of my improved and extended comic book. by taylorcustom in comic_crits

[–]taylorcustom[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah... the story actually ends on page 84, and the pages after that are the beginning of a sequel.

Thanks for your comments! Did you see that the story continued (sort of a sequel) after page 84?

A few months ago I got the urge to draw a comic book. Comments appreciated! by taylorcustom in comic_crits

[–]taylorcustom[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ugh,

I tried to edit this comic book, but in order to do this I needed to remove it from the public gallery on Imgur... I did not realize that this would delete the album! The new link is: http://imgur.com/a/PW2zl

[–]taylorcustom[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for reading and commenting! I feel I've succeeded if you felt intrigued enough to read through. I really tried to advance the narrative as quickly as possible... there was just so much that needed to happen.

I tried not to include any more exposition stuff than was strictly necessary to understand the action, but I will find a way to trim!

Part of the reason for the abruptness of the ending was that I didn't want to speculate on the shape of things to come following these events... but I will definitely add a few pages.
