I recently found an old glossy brochure titled "Engineering In Timber" , Washington, D.C. My family has been in the construction business and this brochure does not have a date but I wanted to see if this company was still in business. The brochure has many US pictures and we enjoyed the historical buildings and information.
Hi Alexander, I`m from Russia. My name Evgeny. We work with LVL-timber from Ugra (Kerto for Eroupe). No Canada are Austrelian and Eroupe Timber Frame Council and others links have not information about SST.
What you think about modern Japanes timber reserch?
When you are exporting the SketchUp model to Kerkythea (using the exporter plugin), make sure you don't check "clay render" – that would remove all materials.
To edit materials, highlight the object in KT, then find it in the object hierarchy on the left. Right-click on the name to get into the material editor. In there, you can easily change the diffusive color of the material. If it is a layered material, then you will have to get into one of the material layers first.

hey, im from brazil, and i was wandering if you could help me, i started using kerkythea a few days ago, and already downloaded all the materials, and actually achieved to render a kitchen in my internship. the thing is, that i can't succeed in transporting the materials from sketchup to kerkythea, it just export all white!.
that was my first doubt, the second one, is that i can't edit the materials, like, for example, if i have the material: white marble, change it to a beige marble, or any other color, i just can´t figure it out!
so sorry to bother you, but please, this is asap or i´ll be fired!
thank you!
Hi Alexander
First of all thanks for adding my blog to your page.

The information on your page is very interesting.

I just stumbled across your website and wanted to say hi! It’s interesting for me to find all this great information on CAD, design, woodworking etc all in one place – I am an architecture student taking time out to train as a carpenter, so I’m very interested in all the stuff you write about. Thanks for making it available. Your photos look great too!

Love your b&w photos of the beluga whales and especially of Tuscany. I’m a UMass alum (MA ‘88) and currently teach Italian at Yale. I saw the article on “Transforming the UMass Terrain into 3-D” in the UMass alumni magazine, and that let me to your web site. Complimenti!
Ich habe alles sehr interessant gefunden. My German may not be too great but we keep trying. I am a retired structural engineer and am presently teaching as an adjunct faculty member at Harper college in Palatine, Illinois. Wood structures are warm and in my opinion very attractive.
I am a future student. Very interesting site. I can't wait to meet up with you in September.

Hello.
What a great site you have built! Really enjoyed browsing through it.
Next year there will be an international timber bridge conference in Norway. Maybe you want to add to your list of coming events?

Thanks, Rune, for your comment. I added the bridge conference to my list. Looks very interesting.
Cheers, Alex

There is a nice intro to KT for architects here:

Hello Alex,
I like your GA Program,it’s helpful for me.
Are you planning any updates to it?If so, could you make unlimited variables/constraints into it.
Thanks for the program,
