The People Tool is due for a refreshing and we'd like to swap out some of the less useful images in there for some that would better fill the role. I'd like to have some front porch and backyard people for example, maybe greeting visitors or barbecuing....

If you have any suggestions of silhouettes that you'd like to see in the tool, now is the time to let us know what they are. What's missing from the set?

Some ideas below :
Swimming pool people : People sitting on edge, diving in, sunbaking.
Gardening people : People digging, weeding, mowing
Animal People : People with dog, cat, chickens
Kids play

Cheers Jai

Hi, Matt -

Could we have plan views of people in the People tool?

Sitting, walking, wheelchair, etc.

Jonathan

Those are reasonable comments, I'll see what we can do. Anybody else?

Some of the output of one of the trees in the Tree tool we're working on...

Of course the colors are just plain silly for these two Palm tree designs but this is just to show the four flavors of each tree.

Just looking at the image above with a critical eye, I don’t like the shadows on the B&W style, so I’m going to make them like the other shadows or with the same gray pen color and a white fill.

Matt has a list of other trees that he is going to work on. Damon Oriente, or anyone out there with ideas of what you would like to see here, please get them to Matt Arnold.

These things are all built on random numbers, so no two images are exactly the same.

And these tools will absolutely destroy your productivity because they are so much fun to mess with.

It reminds me of when we first did the Nuts & Bolts tools years ago that drew all the threads on the screws and bolts. There were many stories of clients in full panic mode rushing into architects’ office pleading them to not spend the time to draw every single thread! Then when they were shown how it was done, there were smiles all around.

Bradford Pear sample

Matt, that’s a nice Bradford Pear, it’s the preferred street tree here in West Haven, CT. You have very nicely captured it.
