Wabbits

A precious little girl walks into a Pets Mart Shop and asks, in the sweetest little lisp, between two missing teeth, "Excuthe me, mithter, do you keep widdle wabbits?"

As the shopkeeper's heart melts, he gets down on his knees so that he's on her level and asks, "Do you want a widdle white wabbit, or a thoft and fuwwy, bwack wabbit, or maybe one like that cute widdle bwown wabbit over there?"

She, in turn, blushes, rocks on her heels, puts her hands on her knees, leans forward and says, in a tiny quiet voice,
"I don't think my python weally gives a thit!!"

Greetings!

Next week is our Leica HDS seminar in Fort Worth.  Come learn about the C10, TOPO II, and the newly released Leica C5 which starts in the $50k price range!  If you have not registered yet, click the link on the left to do so now.

My schedule is up and down right now, on Monday morning I will have a week open and by the end of the day the rest of the week is booked.  If you are considering training, a meeting, a Q&A, a lunch session or anything you need to call or email me and get things booked as early as possible.  I am already looking at training bookings into mid and late July.

I am still available for software demonstrations, training, consulting, and now I am ramped up for Leica C-10 scanner demos, so if you are interested give me a call or send me an email!

June is always a hectic month for me and I know it probably is for you.  I do hope to see you in the coming weeks.  Do not hesitate to call me, or email me and let me know what I can do for you.  Software upgrades, new seats, Laser Scanners, advice, tips, help, whatever it is.  If I do not know the answers I know the people who do and am always happy to get you pointed in the right direction.

Have a GREAT month and stay safe!

Sincerely,
Paul M. Carlson

Tips & Tricks

question We have spent hours making a surface, and the boundary and void areas have changed.  Is there a way to adjust the surface like this in Carlson without having to completely re-do the surface?



answer stamp Absolutely.  In fact, even Autodesk Civil 3D has functions that will do the same thing.   The need to update or change is ever present, it is important that my software be able to allow such changes without forcing me to do everything over. Watch this short video on some cool surface editing tools inside of Carlson Software.  Click here to watch the video.

To learn more about how CDS can work with you on this or other training/consulting projects call our office or email me directly at pmcarlson@carlsonds.com.
