If you go visit the Subscription Center, you’ll find that there are new extensions for C3D. The two import formats are fairly obscure (but French and MX users will be happy) but the HEC-RAS, Stage-Storage and new Subassemblies are pretty cool. I had problems getting the RAS installer to recognize my build, so I went around it and installed manually. Read how after the jump.

So it took a little bit longer than I hoped, but here are the answers, straight from the horses mouth. We’ve already put a few requests to play along for the next round, but feel free to comment and tell us who you would like to see on the seat. Dan and Dave and your Five Questions, after the jump.

In last week’s post we looked at the impact you can have as either the facilitator of the standardization process, or even just a participant, by doing your homework and being prepared. Now that your committee has met a few times and gotten some things accomplished, how do you make it official? Find out after the jump.
OK, so it’s not really C3D related, but it’s at least field related. 
Fluidforms out of Austria, has what I think might be the first ever bowl with land development appeal. Based on a Google Map, satellite data, and your own settings for the exaggeration, etc., you get to design your own bowl. While I couldn’t get the pricing or modeling links to work, perhaps you can. There’s also a German version of the site, so perhaps one of our European readers could help me out and send me the link to the builder? I really want to see my neighborhood done up like this!
Edit: It’s all about shockwave. I managed to get it loaded on my VM, and I’m really impressed. Not sure I’m 230Euro impressed just yet, but what a cool merge of tech and craft and all that jazz. JW
