      Hello. How can I get access to woodworking thread here? I`m using sketchup time to time (nothing seriously, just simple vis for video surveillance systems) for approximately 3 years and now I would like to try it for my woodworking project. πŸ˜’

      sorry. i figured this out 😳 😳

        Hi there!

        I'm neither new to Sketchup nor modeling, but I've never had the need to be involved with a forum for Sketchup. I am currently an Architecture student at Southern Polytechnic State University near Atlanta, GA. I am using Sketchup for a current class project and hope to get some advice from some seasoned users.

        Thanks and I look forward to making new friends!

            And hi Carl (and welcome). It's not always the "need" for an involvement but one may find interesting ideas as well as unusual solutions so even an experienced modeller can find cool stuff in a place like this. Hope you'll enjoy yourself!

              Hello all ...

              I'm Mike, and I've been looking for an easy-to-use 3D modeller for a year now ... looks like I've found it! The reason for the search is a need to model my village church as it was when it was first built in the 11th century. I have the floor plan - now I have the ability to build on it without getting severe headaches.

              I'm looking forward to this. Hope to get to know you all ... Cheers.

                Hi Mike and welcome. This sounds like an interesting and fun project. Seriously, I'm really looking forward to it. I've been doing things like that myself: http://www.sketchucation.com/forums/scf/viewtopic.php?f=81&t=46 (although this should be some 14th century).

                And indeed, an early Norman ( ❓ ) church sounds more exciting than a decorated or perpendicular style Gothic one (there are lots of them anyway). πŸ˜‰

                  Thanks for that, Gaieus. I've looked at your church, and it's left me with my mouth watering. If anything was going to confirm I'd made the right choice, that church was it - and it appears to have a lot of Romanesque features, so I can learn a lot from it.

                  Pretty good work!

                  Mike

                    On the main site (that we have just launched and will develop further) we are listing a bunch of tutorials (the number is growing day by day) among which I am now developing some with techniques for exactly Romanesque architecture (for a later, greater project). This one (for which you may need to register on the main site as well) is particularly about creating a cross vault.

                    So just plunge in and I'll be more than happy to help with anything if you have questions (after all I am an archaeologist "by trade" πŸ˜‰ )

                      Hey all, this is Daggs (Hello, Daggs), and I'm glad this board exists. Been evaluating other 3/2D CAD programs, they either suck or are uninspired. I'm looking to use SU to do some 3D drawring, then convert to CAM and finally G-code so I can run the CNC mill that I'm building. "But Daggs, why are you building a CNC mill?" I can hear you ask. Because, in the words of Sir Edmund Hillary, it is there. I'll figure out apps for the mill after I have it. Maybe kit furniture? We'll see.

                      Anyway, on with the show. I'll be here a bit, I think, because this prog looks like something that is worth mastering.

                      Daggs

                        Indeed there are people who use SU to build physical models with CNC mills and you willprobably find some useful plugins (such as converting to stl format and such) useful here.

                            Greets to the community!

                            I'm a semi-retired IT professional and programmer of 20+ years experience who now has time to pursue other interests and hobbies in his life. I'm currently using SU7 for woodworking projects, furniture design and wood strip canoes. I also have programmed in Ruby and look forward to developing some useful scripts for release to the community.

                            Cheers!

                                  I am not sure where to post this so I'll try here.
                                  I can't seem to get my orbit and shift/pan functions to work with the middle mouse button. I press the middle button and no matter what else I press or change, all I get is some sort of zooming which is really annoying.
                                  I have SU 7 on my macbook pro and am using a logitec v470 bluetooth mouse and the logitec control panel. Middle mouse button is assigned to button 3. I know it works for some mac users but for some reason it is not working on mine. Right click is working fine and I can orbit and pan using shift+control+command keys and mouse button 1. Those are single button mouse setting though and not user friendly.
                                  Anybody have any ideas?

                                    Hi antipode (and welcome).

                                    Though I'm on a PC, these settings with the Logitech mice should be the same IMO. I have also assigned the middle button function to the wheel button in the control panel. see attached.

                                      Thank you for the welcome Gaieus! This is a wonderful forum to be part of, a comfortable kind of place it seems, and a helpful community. I've already learned a number of "tricks" in just the short time I've been here.

                                      Ah, woodworking... Yes. My "escape" from the working world... Between some projects my wife would like me to design and build for the home, and my hobby of constructing wooden canoes and small craft, I think SU is going to be a fantastic tool!

                                      I hope to post some of my work as soon as I get to be a bit more proficient...

                                      Cheers!
