    . . . between moving, unmoving, fixing, and all the other stuff I'm trying to do, I hardly had time to get in a super-quick model this afternoon . . . rather boxy and bland but better than not using SketchUp at all, eh . . .

    Happy Sketching,

    Brad

      That last one was quite a disappointment . . . so, here's one I plan on doing for the next set of video tutorials . . . if anyone is interested . . . this one is obviously the same as an earlier one, with a few minor differences . . . but I sort of like it . . . πŸ˜‰ . . .

        I know, I know . . . this isn't a car . . . just thinking that if I ever had to use a wheelchair I'd like one that had some serious horsepower . . . something that might look cool . . . the stripes were added for visual clarity, to help in showing contour/shape, not for racing stripes . . .

          Something a little more on the realistic side of life?

            Please keep in mind, I'm still just working on "capturing concepts quickly."

            I hardly prefer this method of using a "one profile" to define the shape of a car - it's obviously quite limited, but, it can be used effectively to get good results for beginners (like me πŸ˜‰ )

            I wanted to give my students something quasi-realistic, very simple to model and hopefully something that would look good. The first image shows what I started out with and when the extrusions (only 3) were done (on each side), the proportions of the top were way off. Fortunately, with this groovy software it's soooo easy to fix, change, squish, twist to get the shape or design that you like.

            Time is not my ally --> I still have about 100 boxes (no kidding) that I need to unpack, store, toss, so, honestly I doubt I'll have the tutorial for this one done any time soon. Perhaps that's just as well because it's not a car I really like anyway but perhaps, because it's ultra-quick & easy to create, it will motivate others to jump on the "I can be a car designer too" bandwagon. Hope so - that's my goal.

            Oh, one more thing - please forgive me for stuffing a twin intercooled, twin turbo, V-6 in the engine compartment - the "pregnant hood" doesn't make a very environmentally friendly statement but . . . when you stomp it, who really cares - it's just too much fun, eh?

              . . . another quick sketch while the wife is grocery shopping . . . this was done by creating the back end profile then extruding it forward, copy w/divide, scaling, rotating, & blah, blah, blah - very similar to the video tutorial I posted a few months ago . . . this technique is even quicker than the last car that used a center profile extruded sideways along with a side shape profile that was extruded along the outer most side . . . this probably doesn't make much sense without the video - sorry . . . have fun with it . . . πŸ˜„

                    I'm not sure what this is supposed to be - I started thinking about a 3 wheeler and then it sort of morphed into this "thing" . . . there's always a next one . . . hit and miss is part of life - keep going . . .

                        Thanks - I had a "decent" front end on the last one, but then I began messing around w/FFD (which I hardly ever use anymore, but it's a fantastic tool).

                        Here's something else - if you look at the number of triangles you can get an idea how quick this concept sketch is . . . three or four minutes?

                                  Do you mean select all the surfs in the groups and then use "Soften/Smooth Edges"?
