"Unless you are a flat-earther..." I loved that 😂

[@tomvandervegt7651]

I know right! haha

[@albamcgowan9300]

you stupid globeheads have all been lied to by big government about the shape of the earth. just look outside your window. where is the curve?!?!?!?!

[@nehajohn9117]

I laughed at that too 🤣🤣🤣

[@dmytromural]

I gotta say! Video like that every day - HUGE piece of work! Respect and THANKS!

[@sigsauer1993]

hey balkan architect could u do a tutorial about creating electrical circuit and stuff ? thx a lot my hero

[@manikantabejgam2591]

If possible make a video on electrical and plumbing drawing in Revit.

[@DougLanglois-v2j]

Hi, another great tutorial, but when I turn on the sun path the date and time controls/labels are not showing. Obvs can set the time/date by going through the sun settings dialogue, and can also click and drag the path/sun position, but with no labels to tell me where I am dragging it to I cant make the quick and accurate adjustments that you show around 6:00 time mark. where can I find some display option to show these tags? many thanks

[@gwitthuhn]

So helpful! But if I'm a flat earther, does this info no longer apply?? lol

[@realworldinformations]
