My second ever sketchup or 3D model
-
My second sketchup model...it's very simple, I basically wanted to see if I could make the wheel. Again, it's not perfect but I'm pretty happy with it for a first try on a wheel. Please let me know what you think. As a beginner to 3D and to sketchup, I'm kind of just fumbling my way along... I really enjoy the input. Thanks!

Hi,
What a wheel! Get it?
Check out the tutorials on the homepage for some nifty tips on improving your modeling.
Not to say it's bad but that's where I learnt first and i just keep my eye out for peoples different approach to the same workflow.I'm still a novice though!!!

Thanks. I've been working with the tutorials on YouTube and have ordered the "Sketchup for Dummies" book to help get me started. Hopefully it will be in a few days. People here have also been very helpful.

Good start to your SU modelling

Just realized that my first model had nothing on the underside of the roof...it was hollow! I filled in under the eaves and tried to add a little detail to look like a gutter around the roof using the follow me tool. I also added some shadows just to make it a little more appealing. Here's the updated model.
