![]() So you could model away in “push-pull” mode, then when you’re done, convert it into NURBS or normal meshes - if you need to combine it with other NURBS or mesh objects. This object would be separate from NURBS, separate from Mesh, and separate from SubD. What we then need is another new type of object to be developed - mesh based to be sure, but so that it can be manipulated like a Sketchup mesh can. But not necessarily with Rhino’s existing mesh objects/tools, they are not designed that way. There are things you can do with mesh structures that you can’t with NURBS. Remember Sketchup is basically a special kind of mesh modeler. What does this have to do with push-pull ‘Sketchup’ modeling? Everything IMO. It’s a completely new kind of object, separate from NURBS - and you need to stay within its framework to take advantage of all the tools - then you can convert back into NURBS when you need. Rather than try and adapt something that is not readily adaptable, they invented a completely new type of object with its associated math, workflow and GUI. People (a certain group anyway) have been clamoring for SubD’s for many years now because Rhino’s NURBS doesn’t address that way of working either. Does that mean it’s impossible? Maybe not, but it will still come back to how much development time and cost needs to be put into it versus the projected market/return. My feeling is that what you want will never be able to be fully addressed by Rhino’s NURBS geometry library, because it’s really not intended for this kind of use.

Guests will pay $196 a night this year – up 5% vs. Look at the price hikes this way – average revenue per room for each occupied night. Yes, that’s still below the 75% rate of 2019 but occupancy was slashed to 49% when coronavirus crimped travel in 2020.Īnd the pandemic era’s surprising tourism revival allowed hotel owners to raise their rates. ![]() That reversal means California hotels should be 71% full this year vs. That’s quite a rebound from the 39% tumble taken in locked-down 2020. Look at the overall hotel business, using my trusty spreadsheet’s peek at data from a recent statewide forecast from Visit California.Ĭalifornia hotels are expected to sell 147 million nights of lodging this year – that’s up 7% vs. But it’s not because rooms aren’t filling up after a rough pandemic rollercoaster. Or just a chill? Hotel owners may not be betting on adding capacity. That translates to a significant dip in the number of upcoming new rooms.Ĭalifornia’s 16,321 rooms under construction are a 2% increase in a year but that’s 36% below 2018-2021. Southern California’s 9,279 is down 6% in a year and down 37% vs. 2018-2021. Northern California’s 59 is up 20% in a year but down 30% vs. Southern California’s 63 is down 6% in a year and down 38% vs. Maybe only a correction? Hotels are being built, but it’s just a thin pipeline of new lodging properties as of mid-year 2023.Ĭalifornia has 122 hotels under construction – up 5% in a year but down 34% vs. And Northern California’s 1,495 rooms were down 47% in a year and down 33% vs. Southern California’s 1,210 rooms were up 65% in a year but down 51% vs. Statewide, 2,705 rooms were down 24% in a year and down 42% vs. It looks just as sluggish when eyeballing how many new rooms were available in 2023’s first six months. ![]() In Northern California, 10 opened – down 52% in a year and down 46% vs. ![]() In Southern California, 10 hotels opened – up 25% in a year but down 46% vs. That’s down 31% in a year and off 46% vs. It is a crash? The pace of openings is kind of bleak with just 20 new hotels debuting statewide in 2023’s first six months. ![]()
