Invitation to the SketchUcation collection
-
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.
-
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.
-
kmz is the file type SU creates from a model for Google Earth. From SU you can only upload kmz files however on the front page of the WareHouse you can directly upload kmz files as well. But you cannot use them in SU later so unfortunately it would no be help for SU modelers.
-
The last 4 links take you to the same model.

Thanks for the help loading models to the 3d warehouse.
Here are the models I uploaded there are some that don't show the full joint detail as I have been using loose tenons and sometimes add this as I build in the shop. Otherwise all parts are components and to scale.

I will have a look at these tomorrow.

Sheet music cabinet:
Sorry, but criteria 4 is "No overlapping solids".Have a look at the "side slats" component, it overlaps the side rail, the side slat and the post. Same thing with the shelves and the back.
Media Center:
Meets the model criteria, although I have a woodworking type question about the bottom rails. They seem to be mortise and mortise not mortise and tenon joints. Is that a mistake or do you put in a seperate piece of wood to fill both holes?Dresser:
It's a complex model with many pieces but what I looked at looked all good.Youth desk:
Same issues as the music cabinet, in the same locations too, side rail, side slat and legs.Night Stand:
At first the orbiting was weird, then I figured out you had the camera in parallel projection. There are gaps in the woodworking like between the bottom stetcher and the shelf but it meets the criteria.Queens size bed:
The foot board and head board overlap both the rails. It does not stop it being in the collection but I thought you would like to know some of the components don't have material on all faces, for example the ends and bottom of the side rails. -
You've become rather picky, Hazza!

Thanks for lookig at the models. I had forgot that I omitted the slots for the slats in the models where the 1/4 panels sit in the rails and styes. I will remeber to include that in the future and will go back and fix the models.
Yes I have started to use loose tenon joints since I built a fixture that works with an old shop smith and works like a horizontal router so long parts are no longer a problem. (except my shop is narrow and crowded)
The gap in nightstand is intentional and required for seasonal wood movement as the shelf is solid wood.
I only use texture where visible from the front and sides most of the time to show the family what thier designed furniture will look like and to get the approval to build.

Yes and it's what is not accepted into the collection that sets the quailty. If I let that model slip in why not the next one. Then the next one that is slightly less quailty than that... etc etc.

Hazza, are you familiar with "loose tenon" joinery?
No, that's why I asked. I am a SU modeler that does woodwork models, not a woodworker that does SU models.
I have no doubt in my mind that there is heaps of woodworking stuff I have never seen before. That's why I like detailed woodworking plans. I am able to follow the plans with no prior woodworking knowledge.
Now I am familiar with loose tenons... you learn something everyday.

When you do let me know and I will add them to the collection.

Yes, I know exactly. I was just pulling your leg.

Yeah I know you were but it was just in case others came across the thread and thought I WAS being too picky. I would have thought of a witty reply but my caffine system has too much blood in it.
-
I understand about standards and I am fine with you saying that the models need fixing to be included. That seems reasonable to me.

Heres my contribution.
http://sketchup.google.com/3dwarehouse/details?mid=72c2d871fba975c7d797e188153f356&prevstart=0With reference to woodgrain orientation, it always used to be a real pain, but now in su7 you can edit the image in pshop. Simply save the texture as a copy in su. Export it to your image editor, rotate the image 90 degrees and voila!

Nice chest you've got there, Baz.
I wouldn't want to have to fit those dividers though. Are you going to build it?
Hazza won't like it because the case isn't drawn as separate components.
