More practical living room acoustics · 7.12.11
Making the living room more cozy acoustic wise is getting closer. I ended up deciding to put Paroc Royal or Ecophon Master SQ up on the walls near the ceiling.
I did some planning using Google Sketchup, just to see how 1200×600 elements would fit in there.
Here the smaller gap between the elements is 10 mm (in the groups of four) and 90 mm between the groups.
Also found out how to display Google Sketchup models in iPad:
- Get a STL-exporting plugin
- Figure out how to install plugins (hint: place the Ruby scripts inside the directory given by Sketchup.find_support_file(“plugins”) in the Ruby console (Tools menu -> Ruby Code Editor -> Show Ruby Console (monkey wrench icon, just as you would guess)
- Get a Dropbox account
- Place the STL-model in Dropbox
- Get MeshPad app for iPad
- Get Dropbox app for iPad
- In the Dropbox app, open the STL model
- Dropbox app does not know what to do with it, push the arrow icon (the one that looks not unlike the share/tweet icon)
- Victory
