Hi Guys,

I thought I'd try some precision drawing today [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif[/img]

and fabulous too. The brushed steel looks really believable.

I see you are using Enviro to sign your images.

Here is a link to MyFonts.com where you can find some additional really neat architect-like fonts.

I've never seen so many fonts of a similar category. I'm spoilt for choice!

Cheers!

Nice drawing both in how it is laid out and how well you drew it. I'm just not sure about the tiny version - it seem just thrown in there.

I can't tell a lie - it was thrown in just before I gave up and went to sleep [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif[/img]

Having put in the customary shadows and reflections, it looks a little more realistic - I hope!

Frustratingly, when I opened the Xara file this morning, many of the fills were skewed [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_frown.gif[/img] Does anyone else find this happens from time to time?

Yes Graeme the shadows add to the 'reach out and grab it aspect'. I can see too that the little one is more integrated.

I occasionally notice the fill problem you refer to. I've come to the conclusion that it might be graphics card related. I used to go around and fix them - now I always try rebooting the computer as that seem to fix the problem.

... work Graeme! Yes the brushed steel effect is excellent.

I like the second edition with the shadow too, it ties the whole thing together more.

Great stuff.
