zzsprade: You should be able to open this version with Adobe Acrobat Reader 7. However without the Illustrator tools you won't be able measure the angles and dimensions correctly.

Apologies - it took me a while but I saw holdennuts edit.

Thank you Simon.

I used 6mm grey tinted glass. The kind you find in any glass shop. It works great for me. I also don't think safety glass is really necessary in this design.

I have heard of greylite, but don't anything about it. It's probably called differently around here.

Feel free to put the plans on your server.

I'm using SketchUp to produce some detailed 3D images of some parts of the project, I think it will make it easier to understand the plans. I'll send them your way if I think they turn out OK.

I'd love to get a copy of your sketch-up file.  Any way you could post it somewhere?

I can PM you the SketchUp file. Just send me your address.

I wouldn't like to put the file on the web for now. As I started to "unmount" the model to get some pictures showing details and measures, I noticed there are a lot of problems in it. Some pieces have wrong measures, some don't align perfectly... Not a surprise, as it was the first time I ever used SketchUp.

I'll try to correct it as I go along making the detailed pictures.

The SketchUp model is still a nice help in visualizing how everthing is mounted, but for precise measurements one should refer to the Illustrator file.
