Ian About 5 years ago i moved in to a new house before that i spent a couple years communicating with an architect Mostly on the web in SVG files made mostly in Inkscape with extracted components which were handcrafted before retesting in the Inkscape environment
Dropbox is no longer in the business of allowing public use of their cloud so i got knocked off the web eventually i may resurrect that part on GitHub or not Have to see if there is an extractable component i used E, N and planar view files The main dynamics were sectional and a plumbing flow ~greg https//picsrp.github.io -- from: Ian Clark <[email protected]> to: Chat forum <[email protected]> date: Feb 19, 2021, 5:46 AM subject: Re: [Jchat] Circulatory system graphic Greg wrote > >One can certainly tie SVG components to transitions in CSS and DOM events > >like mouseovers and double clicks.
