thanks for the support guys! hope to see you in february at the opening!
Hi it is nice to see ,but I just wonder how close this will come to the old 3dh ; now it is not to advertise for 3dh, but following the simple rules for that, you make sure the frames-ribs can slide together or with a small gadged replacing the overlap slot, -- also decribed in 3dh -- the assembly are eased, or in face even possible. Sme thought must have gone into this issue, but it is difficult to reconise from the graphics . Anyway it is so easy ; I spended a decade develobing 3dh ,I poored information about it all over the web since 1998 documented by descriptions and hundreds of graphics --- and if you guy's belive in credits you are welcome to gain from the experience with 3dh, all it cost, is that you place a small credit note, you see I realy spended a decade and much suffer to promote 3dh ,so if you was me and had yourself the visions about a new way to put things together, if you respect your fellow designers ; I was educated at the architect acadamy in copenhagen not many are told, but if you somehow profited from my hard work those years ago, then I am sure you place a small note to thank for the inspiration, if offcaurse you found that from seeing some 3dh on the web or decide to conform to 3dh for ease of assembly, as in that case it will become a 3dh structure.
I guess you understand my humble request --- I newer hope any of you will ever be in this of my situation.
