[Dwight]

Was there ever a time where one might explode text into vectors and fills or am i dreaming?

Ahh, fair enough. Shall I start a poll demanding that it should be made even easier than Sketchups?

So easy, in fact, that I only have to gesture towards the screen and it gets done. A bit like Dwights Avatar, but one handed.

Yes, but by using two hands in a mere symmetric gesture, I can describe entire structures including their details and written specifications if anyone on staff had the skill to interpret my genius.

I am sure other employers share this problem.

I assume your next book will have a chapter on this obviously important but seldom taught subject. I look forward to the day when an architect can gesticulate with wild abandon and not be greeted with blank stares or barely muffled sniggering.

Isn't That what Gehry already do?

[Dwight]

You offend against a great mind. Our Guru Gehry wouldn't wave his arms like my idiot boss did.
He would crumple tracing paper up into meaningful balls, stick them together and have them digitized. You'd only smirk once at that until you saw how well it worked.

[Eduardo Rolon]

If you see "Sketches of Gehry" it is more construction paper, scissors and transparent tape, then a crew of slaves doing a full model, then digitized. If I remember correctly there was some hand waving maybe more orchestra conductor than "Dwightish".

[Dwight]

slaves.

Sorry, it should have said;

When I need to explode text i do it in Autocad. It is just a simple command: "Explode text"!
