      I do now, are they yours?

      I will download them and check them out when I can get on a computer with SU on it.

        Dear Hazza,

        No they are not mine, but they look to be well drawn.

        Regards,

          They are all well made models, sadly all but one of the models fail the criteria. Almost all of them have several pieces of wood as a single component.

          The model pages don't allow me to contact the owner but one had their web site so I can send them an e-mail. I will ask their permission to fix the minor errors that stop them being included.

            I have e-mailed the original modeller and he said I can do what I want with them. I have only done 4 models so far but I have seperated each piece of wood so that they are individual components.

              Hazza, I'm curious. What is your intended use for these models? I agree that there's a lot of poorly modeled stuff in the 3D Warehouse. What is the goal of your collection here?

              Nearly every piece of furniture I draw is drawn accurately and most all the pieces that would be made in wood are drawn as separate components. If I plan to build the piece or I'm drawing for someone else who will build it, all joinery is drawn, too. While drawing the furniture this way I work hard to keep file size to a minimum. Well, it really isn't very difficult if one uses proper management methods. I don't know that many of my models would be much use to others especially if the need is for furniture to fill rooms.

                A little background:
                I work 2 weeks on, 2 weeks off on a defence contract. I am an electronics technician, if the site is running then we don't have much to do the 12 hours a day that we work. My intention for these models is to make them the best possible models as I can, to occupy my time.

                The warehouse sets no standard, the goal is to raise the bar to be included in the collection. Sharing knowledge with each other on how to improve the models submitted. For example, how did you change the orientation of the wood grain on my bird feeder model? You missed one and I want to try it myself 😄

                  Sort of a Maytag Repairman, huh? 😉 My job is like that sometimes, too.

                  Which axis did I miss?

                  To change the axis orientation of a component, right click on the component and choose Change Axes. Click at the origin then along the desired red direction and finally along the green direction. BLue takes care of itself.

                    If I am understanding you correctly you are saying to change the texture direction you have to change the axis orientation?

                      No. That's not it att all. Texture orientation is initially determined by the axis orientation of the component but one doesn't need to change the axis orientation to change the texture orientation. I did leave the orientation on one face of the long tray side component turned 90°. I actually did that so you would notice I corrected the other faces. All of the axes were oriented correctly, though.

                      The key components that needed axis alignment were the ones placed at angles. The roof and glass pieces primarily. The hinge leaves didn't because they must have been drawn flaf and then moved into place

                        For those that are following along at home, I worked out how to change the orientation of the texture so that the grain of the wood runs along instead of across:

                        1. Edit the component.
                        2. Select the face that you want to change the texture orientation.
                        3. Right click it.
                        4. Select "Texture -> Position"
                        5. Click and drag the green circle 90 degrees.
                        6. Click outside the area to close the texture orientation tool.
                        7. Go to 2 for all faces that need changing.
                        8. Close the component.

                          If you want to turn the texture 90° (or 180° or 270°) you could right click at step 5, click on Rotate and choose the angle from the menu.

                            Is there a script that would allow you to right click once and select "Rotate material 90 degrees" instead of having to right click it twice?

                              Not that I'm aware of. If you correct the alignment immediately before applying the material to faces in other components, you can use the eyedropper to sample the material and get the alignment done properly.

                                Hazza,

                                You are right about the widely varying quality in the warehouse. A select list has possibilities.

                                Here are a couple which I think would meet your criteria. I often do a model with full joinery, then do a simplified version which could be used as a component in another model. I'm also very interested in critical feedback in order to learn to model and design better.

                                  Great news, Google has added a new feature to the 3D warehouse. You can add collaborators for a model or even a collection. I am opening up the "SketchUcation Woodworking" collection to anyone that wants in.

                                  Send me a PM with your e-mail address and I will add you as a collaborator. Collaborators are be able to add models to the collection.

                                  This additional feature is a step towards my vision of this woodworking collection being "owned" by the SU community.

                                  See all of my SketchUp models here.

                                    Note that you need to have a Google account for this and you need to send that email address to Hazza so that he invite you as collaborators.

                                    Also, there is a limited number of changes you can make and to which you can revert your collection, so from time to time "purge" older changes from the History tab.

                                    Happy collecting! 👍


                                    Hazza, be careful with the permission settings!

                                        I need some help on uploading files to the 3d warehouse. I have some furniture models that I saved as kmz files but when I tried to upload one it gives me an error message that there needs to be at least one model in the file to upload.

                                        Any ideas what I am missing?? JillsBed.kmz

                                          What is a kmz file? What program did you use to create it?

                                          3D warehouse only lets you upload SketchUp models.

                                          See all of my SketchUp models here.
