Thanks, HornOxx.
Here's a link to the 1stdibs listing:

As you can see, the original looks pretty gnarly. I wish there were an easy way to render aged or primitive pieces. I suppose I could create a style. . .

Not right now - but the interface was so easy to use and I was tearing my hair out trying to get anything else to work

You're probably right about the early tin canteens. Bend a hoop and solder on two slightly domed or bulls-eye-corrugated disks and Bob's yer uncle. I expect with machines to press out domes of aluminum, it made good sense to switch to canteens with only one seam. Fewer parts, less chance of a leak and stronger.

Works on NetScape! 😮
Some people use it again?

Looks great !

Thanks, Dave. I could say that the piece is on a large sheet of seamless background paper. But in truth, I don't draw a face on the ground plane. However, the model does rest on the ground plane.

Thank you, sir. This model was a nice departure from chairs and desks and dressers.

French touch! 😉

Thank you. And I saw what you did there. 😄

Cotty,
Did you run out of platinum?

Dave,
Plywood, yes. Drawers, probably not. I think the box is just a great big box. Impractical, but it sure looks comfortable.

Kris's shed reminds me of an architect friend who was excited about his first home that had a detached garage. The garage listed about 15 degrees, and he was certain that it would collapse within his first year of ownership. He figured he would get a new garage with an insurance claim. Well, that garage had to be torn down 25 years later and it took alot of effort. I think it had the same "structutral" paint that Kris's shed has. 😄

Thank you, Dave.
I'm always suspicous of three-legged chairs. Don't think these are suitable for a ten-course feast. Maybe just a bite of lutefisk.

Thanks Doug.

There are a couple of dividers inside. One of the compartments would hold pencils/pens. The drawer is too short for pencils unless all you have are stubs.

Interesting application for Skalp. I might have to give it a try.

By the way, it isn't a good idea to to orbit or otherwise edit the camera position in the LayOut viewport. It results in breaking the link to the original scene in the SketchUp file. If you go back to SketchUp and make changes to that scene, the viewport will not get updated in LayOut. The proper workflow would be to orbit in SketchUp, update the scene, save the file and then update the reference in LO.

I've attached the drawer file although you'll need to reassemble it.

I know you're working on a big project and it must be something you have interest in but it would be wise to start with a smaller and simpler model so you can get the hang of it.

As I mentioned before, scaling is usually not the appropriate way to resize things when there are details that need to remain the same. The Move tool is a better choice most of the time. You can see some of that here. When Scaling can be used successfully, you'll generally want to open base level components and scale the geometry.

The Cutlist plugin is available in the Extension Warehouse. Get it there and let SketchUp install it automatically.

I'll PM you with some suggestions.

The old version with the pencil style I used for these images is 2.75.

Thank you for the info!

Thank you. I agree, maybe its all the cartoons I watched, but I can almost hear the "tic-tic-tic" of its foot steps...
