Sketchup challange #1

chrisglasier

Oliver, you have stumbled upon a very persnickety bunch of professionals, I guess you really should introduce yourself, explain your mission and use spell check before attempting to lure attention to your quest.

Welcome to SCF by the way.

Yes I agree that this is the right approach but you must not dumb down the term "professional" by using that word. SCF should strive for standards achieved in modeling* to be applied to all its activities. Mike Lucey might like to give guidance in this respect.

Sincerely

Chris

Edit: * and coding

Hi, Oliver, welcome to the SCF!

If you need inspiration to start your design assignment you can just go to http://www.coolhouseplans.com and use the search function.

If you haven't already, I highly recommend watching the SketchUp introductory videos. Even if you have used SU for months or years, there might be a few useful tricks to learn:

For creation of walls in SketchUp, the very best tool is Smustard's Profile Builder:

For Windows, use Windowizer 4:

For the roof, use TIG's roof script:

Welcome again, and don't hesitate to post your questions in the forum.

No, any size room.

Or does that mean the winner can be any size?

This thread reminded me a bit of The Manhattan Airport Foundation (have fun!).
The thread about MAF at Pushpullbar.

Sorry, Oliver, how ungrateful of me!

I forgot to mention that you gave me and my brother a huge lol when I read out loud your first post to him. I'm serious. You often write lol on forums when you find something just mildly amusing but you don't actually lol, but this was a very sincere and honest lol that quite possibly was heard by our neighbors. It was not rofl-grade, but quite close. It was the kind of lol that we all need everyday. lols are good for your health.

Thank you for making the Series of Tubes a more friendly place, and I hope you are successful in your quest for gullibilitopia.
