I am going to a model railroad show at the Big E this saturday. I will have a friend with me that is not really interested in anything computer but he would have fun for a quick visit to your place.
If you want we could hook up for a real quickie visit - maybe an hour.
I would plan on mid to late afternoon Saturday Jan 24, 2015
Leo,
I should be home on Saturday. I live about 10 miles from the show.
Address:
995 stony Hill Road
Wilbraham, MA
Call ahead to make sure I home (4135635490 or 5968033).
Hope to see you and thanks,
Jim
Jim,
Not going out that way today, the snow doesn't really bother me, but my leg is. I can hardly walk on it today - don't know what is wrong.
You can post question's on the forum and get some answers - this is a great place for that.
You are welcome to come to my place also or I could bring my laptop and meet someplace mid point sometime.
Leo,
Hope the problem is just temporary, I will check to see what is coming up for next week and maybe we could get together.
I will contact you to set something up.
I'm not completely up with your conversation but I believe you can cut out the tree a little tighter than what you are showing.
Use the trace bitmap function and select as many colors needed to get a solid vector around the tree. Don't worry about filing in the model. just select the outer vector when complete and cut the tree away from the surrounding material.
If you need some pics attach the tree jpeg or btmap and I will try to help.

Hi Jim, there is nothing like working out meetings with fellow CNC users in your area. there are a few vectric users in the Hampton Roads area and we have been meeting on a quarterly basis. But this forum is a great source too.
I have been meaning to create a nice tree for a long time and this post inspired me to do it. my last post was 2 hours ago I did this and clipped out instructions as I went. It's really informal but I will try to clarify each pic.

Create a model from selected bitmap. this is your texture model
Adjust your bitmap properties for desired viewing
select bitmap trace
adjust the color selector to optimize trace vectors
Cut the vector span that goes over the top of the screen and do the same for the adjacent side

Nice explanation Jim,
Another option, if you don't want to deal will all the vectors and the node adjustment, would be to use the undo brush in the sculpting tool list.
If you hold the "shift" key down while using the undo brush it acts like an eraser.
It can be a bit faster for the really small areas.
Just another option to keep handy.

I've learned my lesson well. You can't please everyone,so you have to please yourself

I played around with Dropbox and learned how to share a file. Go to this page https://www.dropbox.com/help/167 It has pretty simple step by step directions.
Leo,
Would it be possible to meet with you next week?
Could you E-mail me at jrgoodrich@charter.net
I have tried to E-mail you on the address you gave me twice and don't know if I have the correct address.
Thanks,
Jim
