Congratulations on the new job Juan! I hope it works out very well for you.

As JuanCal says... it depends : ) Presuming the purpose is to create a tech Illustration the main thing is to be as far away from the subject as reasonably possible - to minimise perspective distortion. Having said that you obviously need to balance that against retaining enough detail - so the furt...

Having returned from the visit I wished I'd looked more carefully to see if it was created on one single sheet of paper - my guess is it was. In that case I wonder how they created it? Maybe hung vertically on a wall??
The amount of work involved is amazing. No copy and paste or SSR for these guys!

It was pretty much a random choice - I simply wanted to show the level of detail...

Thought you guys might enjoy this: A few weeks ago I was visiting the Victoria and Albert museum - the'V&A' - in London. It's London's major museum dedicated to art and design. They have a small architecture department, and in it I found this amazing isometric cutaway. That's my 14 year old daughter...

Stability is pretty much #1 priority for me. C4...

Don,
Thanks for following this up - that certainly looks a workable solution.

Don kindly allowed me to use his model to try a the same output in Rhino - using the 'make2D' command which can then be exported to ai. Illustrator screenshot attached. Similar, but not identical, results in terms of the path construction as you might expect. As per MOI the output does use curved be...

Hi Don, Thanks for posting this. I've been keeping an eye on MOI, and was aware v3 was out this week. I've briefly seen some other early beta tests of this line output on the MOI forum - they looked good too. Nice that you can generate some basic thick and thin with it. I do have an older version of...
