A Welcome Message to New SketchUcation Members

NOHD · 7 Jul 2009, 23:58

Thanks Gaieus and TIG! ive finally installed the Sketchy bevel and Round Edges. im going to study it, thanks again!!!

NOHD · 8 Jul 2009, 00:43

How about this one? how can you install .rbs like this? http://www.crai.archi.fr/RubyLibraryDepot/Ruby/bezier.rb do i copy and paste it on a notepad and then change the file name with .rb?

Gaieus · 8 Jul 2009, 06:15

rbs files are just "encrypted" (scrambled) versions of rb files and work the same way as rb files. Do not rename them just use them as simple rb files. (The authors of these files may want to hide the code and this is particularly the general practice with commercial plugins).

ohhhhhh.. i just saw the sketchucation's PlugIns index. i was having a hard time searching all over the net for PlugIns.
can i ask you a favor? can i post here 2d images and can you tell me how to do it in sketch up? im having a hard time doing irregular shapes on sketchup, but no problems on flat surfaces. thanks, you've been a big help

Surely post anything you have questions about. After all, this is what this forum is for!

If it's some specific issue however, just feel free to start a new post (instead of adding to this topic) so that it won't get lost/hidden in this long thread.

Just saying hi as I am new here,
I do architectural work in the Kentucky/Indiana/Ohio area, I have been using sketchup for about four years (before it was google). Lately I have been doing all of my renders through kerkythea.

I am here for any tips, hints and suggestions I can get.

Hi everbody,

This is Taylan from Turkey. My real job is foreign trade. I have just did load the SketchUp 6 and saw it seems great and have easy usage. I hope I'm gonna learn a lot from you about 3d. My aim is to draw a sketch of wooden product and to produce it by my own. This is just an enjoyable hobby for me. Thanks already now for all you'r gonna teach me.

Rich O Brien · 25 Jul 2009, 21:49

hi taylan,

welcome aboard and don't forget to post your model

taylan · 25 Jul 2009, 22:00

Ok rclub24. As soon as I finish it, I post it with pleasure.

Gaieus · 26 Jul 2009, 10:23

Hi Tylan and welcome.

As you say you are interested in woodworking, I have now added you to the Woodworking Usergroup so that you can see and post in the Woodworking Forum (down on the forum index).

taylan · 26 Jul 2009, 23:24

Hi Gaieus, thank you very much. Sorry for my late response. About woodworking user group, ok I keep it in my mind. See you again when I post my first model.

AussieRob · 4 Aug 2009, 09:41

Hi guys (and gals!) New Aussie member here, I'm 43 with 2 boys and LOVE this program (and I don't even know how to use 1% of it yet) I saw it many years ago, or it seems that long, but maybe only a few years and barely gave it longer than a glance.Wasn't that my loss?

I love to make stuff, film stuff and draw stuff and this fits right in. I also have become somewhat of a handyman wannabe around the home.So I bought some tools to fill the empty shed and and armed ready to make stuff...lol

Cheers for now
Rob

Gaieus · 4 Aug 2009, 10:33

Hi Rob and welcome!

Indeed you seem to have lost a lot not plunging into SU immediately when you saw it. but anyway, it's easy to catch up, I believe.

If you are a "handyman" around the house, you may even be interested in our dedicated "woodworking" subforum which is subscription based however so if you wish, you can sign up here to be able to see it when logged in, too.

Edson · 5 Aug 2009, 23:31

hi tulio,

where are you from? with that name you can only come from a portuguese-speaking country like me. welcome aboard!

AussieRob · 6 Aug 2009, 08:25

Hi Gaieus thanks for the welcome, and the link to the woodworking page, will be very handy.I have just set up another monitor on my desk to make following the tutorials much easier (and enjoyable) by being able to see and do totally uninterrupted...
Cheers
