    Help on making the eyes or shapes in Sketchup. Watch the animation on this link. http://sites.google.com/site/sketchupsage/mas...

    Directions:
    - Scale about center is done by keeping Ctrl pressed while using the Scale tool, Scale + Option on a Mac. (More Scale about center fun is on the Tweaking page.)
    - Alternative tips:
    - Triple-click the model to select everything with the Select tool instead of dragging a selection box around the model.
    - Open the Soften Edges palette from the Window menu to soften the coplanar edges of the inner face instead of softening edges one-by-one. Double-click the inner face to select all the edges and check the Soften colanar box in the palette window.

    TRIPLE BADGE QUESTION
    Read the following article and comment in 4 sentences as to why this type of research is important to the USA and technology. "Deconstructing the iPad: How Federally Supported Research Leads to Game-Changing Innovation." http://www.computerworld.com/s/article/922020...
    • Daniel D. - If the government stoped funding this we wouldnt be able to get the technology we want.
      Most kids today their life is technology. Also most of the goverments work is in computers. If people dont research then we cant improve our technologies.
    • Show 4 more replies...
      • Eduardo B. - Most everyone today has technology somwhere in their lives. Technology is the most important thing in today's world and would'nt be possible without the government funding programs. The USA is going to advance with all of this new technology.
      • Quadre B. - If the government stopped funding, then we wouldn't be able to attain the technology that we need. Many people grow up using technology, and when there are certain governments and companies, they use computers and high grade technology. If people cannot research, then technology would be slowed, and things wouldn't be the same.
      • Rashawn S. - Most of the people in the world has technology today. If they stop funding this kind of stuff alot of people couldnt get most of the stuff we have today. Kids grow up getting used to the technology and know about the technology when they are being raised. If we cant improve our technology we can only downgrade the things we have today. And technology needs to be improved.
      • Heather W. - by cutting federall funding for the technological reaserch they are only cutting back on the breakthroughs generations after us..
    • Darrin W. - Technology advances occur so often that the government which does not advance falls behind. Without funding theese advances can not be made and the quality of life, as well as our world influence woud steeply decline. The i pad is a perfect example. This invention has opened up soo many doors for us, wether it is playing games, used as a learning device (APS), or used to run multi-million dollar coorperations, it has impacted us greatly
