This "Go 2 School" was too cool ! ☀

Not sure your image is understable...

Thanks!

I do dig it as well, this is definitely going to make my work easier. Thanks!

I do learn the basics by myself, but some outside help would have been useful.
I'd say that the main reason why people learn by themselves is because it's free, and they don't want to pay for lessons if there's a free alternative... Sure, it's far from being optimal, but for most, free beats optimal.
Now I could be interested, but once again, according to the price (and time zone).

Thanks!

I make plans for furniture construction all the time. For most parts I can get the dimensions using 2D views of the components for a scene which I then use for a viewport in LayOut. So for a leg like this...

I will have two copies of the component set up for a standard 3rd angle projection and a standard view. Here I've orbited the camera so the components show better.

The same sort of thing was done for the column for this table.

I could have created a flat profile of the column to use for dimensioning but it's easy enough to dimension the 3D component in LO so I didn't bother with the flat.

The two- or three-views can also be done with a single instance of the component and multiple scenes. Depending on the part, I use either method.

For details such as the edge profile of a table top, I will either make a copy of the profile before I use Follow Me or draw a rectangle that passes through the component and use Intersect Faces to pick up the shape. You can do the same thing with a table leg, too.

so cool

Hi Simon, have been working on Sketchup for a couple of years on my own but skills are definitely lacking! Love your Gothic panel skp drawing but do you have any tutorial as to how the flower was created; which plugins etc? Your geometry is a piece of art and much admired!! SDHatter

Pete, this is really coming along.

Now that I see what you are trying to do, it sure makes my post in you Animator thread look stupid. I do not think you could do something like this with Animator. Would like to see what your final product look like.

Thanks! Just some real world dimensions are missing, but... some easy to follow & learn movements.

Hello..

One of friends is looking for 3D scanning services for very long time..., but he wants scanning services at cheap rates...,
So, please suggest me something for him.., from where He can take this service at an affordable price..???

Large scanning service

I tried, but I feel this tapering more difficult for 3D printing (to have thickness & solid). Nice looking as a sketch anyway. And these tools are good. Or perhaps I did not find right procedure yet?

If you'd like help, upload an example SKP file so we can see what you are trying to do.

I quite disagree David. You apparently don't understand the point. It speeds up the process in most cases. Did you know that grouping avoids removal of edges for faces you want to keep and and makes selection simpler for editing complex shapes? It would have prevented the problem he was showing in the video.

I did understand the point but I don't see how it speeds up the process he was showing. I didn't group the selection in my example and I didn't have the problem he had either.

I also understand Box's point. Different strokes.

I deleted my previous post.

Very detailed and pedagogic! ☀

Estoy muy interesado en el tema, no tengo aún oculus porque tengo MAC pero estoy planeando pasarme a PC por los problemas de compatibilidad de MAC con los visores VR, Pronto esscribiré mi aporte al respecto

It's actually quite straight forward to construct a "canonical" entasis in Sketchup for any type of column - smooth or fluted. <snip>

I've done two different tutorials on Flowify and even I had a hard time following this, but it is an ingenious use of the tool!

I've added a highly exaggerated example file to show the basic principle.

Hello! anybody knows how to get the plugin Bring My View Back?

I've been looking for this everywhere, actually! Thank you so much for posting this!! You did save my life with that. I'm an LO user and I haven't quite figured out how to work with a transparent background so I'm glad that I found your tutorial on that! 😄
