So does the water go through in the right hand corner of each cell? Or is each cell a separate containment area?

OK- let’s save the world!  Glad to be among the initiated here…

Here is some pics from the project I described below- this was from 3 months ago and is coming along nicely. Note the re-used granite that we incorporated from existing curbs on the street. The sidewalk is alternating concrete broom finish and shell agreggate wash.

Hey Daniel – I have a quick (hopefully) question. I tried to create a shade structure, but I can’t seem to figure out how to control the direction the fabric is taking. On the attached SU file, I would like the fabric to have a downward curve (showing the gravity) and instead I have an upward curve. Is there a quick way of changing the curve……[Read more]

Greet links, they helped a lot on a recent project. Thanks!
 

Thanks for your photos Chris.  Deadrick street looks great!
Kevin– yes, we are installing planters over storm inlets. 
Any feedback is appreciated.

What is the grade and the largest amount of water you are dealing with? The planter needs to be designed to handle whatever nature throws at you.  You can retrofit the drain like Chris said to become the overflow at the down end of your planter. If you have a lot of slope, check dams can hold the water and pool it to infiltrate fully. Then the…[Read more]

Are you talking about installing a planter over a storm inlet, or a storm line? 

We are designing stormwater bioretention planters for a downtown.  We want to place a planter where a storm drain currently exists.  Can a planter be designed over a storm drain and be an effective bioretention measure — i.e. slowing down rainwater but not completely infiltrating?  Appreciate any input.

sorry…rude awakening, early am….It’s not a PUN, tho – lowest form of humour, of course..So there is room at the bottom, Henry!

Oohh yes, remember the 7200 PowerMac I had sitting in the LA studio? Maybe not. But, I donated it in 2005 while living in Las Vegas. It finally became to slow for internet use and I maxed out on RAM and hard drive storage for it. Those were some great times, in school, huh? Work on projects with no budgets and endless time spent on it. Too bad it…[Read more]

Hey Dave. One way would be to map appropriate landform/vegetation/sky images to a curved background similar to these at SCF. You could also do a search for sky dome at SCF or in the 3D Warehouse. If you intend to fly right up to the edge of the TIN, you might also need to extend the surface out a ways to meet at the image. By matching the…[Read more]

I am working on an animated fly-through of an airport. I have a tin of the actual terrain and have added my 3D model of the airport to the tin. My question for the group is, what do I do to eliminate “the earth is flat” look of my animation. My terrain tin extends in a two mile radius from the airport. I thought about putting a sky/horizon image…[Read more]

Oh, Robert, still the Mac Man! What happened to San Diego?

How are you all fairing? Running on my 3rd week of unemployment today. hoping to go back in the next month, but who knows?

Aloha! Unfortunately, I haven’t been back to Moscow since leaving in December 1998. I heard about all the changes on campus via my weekly Vandal email report. I lived in the LA studio, library and Art department’s McIntosh computer lab. Those PowerMacs were awesome!

Oldster alert….85 grad here.
