Hi!
I have been playing around with SketchUp for a couple of weeks now, mostly designing a utility rail, rack mount, and accessory system for my snowmobile. For such a simple program, the things you guys (and gals) are doing are amazing, far beyond anything I would likely ever attempt. My background is in carpentry and cabinetry, and most of my projects to this point were done in 2D drawing programs like CorelDraw. I hope to spend a little time surfing this site, learning about what I can do with this fantastic tool kit that is SketchUp. I will try to save most of my n00by questions until I have a better chance to look around.
Thanks in advance.

Take your time to look around but don't hesitate to as if you feel stuck somewhere.

Hi, I've just registered an hour ago and a beginner for one month.

Hey, I'm Kman. I just signed up, and I've been doing SketchUp since early '07. This site has great Plug-ins, and AMAZING tutorials. I'm going to go set up my ACC a bit more.

hi guys, i'm a student landscape architect. i just started studying sketchup a week ago. just wanna introduce myself.
-
Hi licus and welcome!
There are a couple of landscape architects here so you will be advised when you have questions.
As a very first advice; always keep an eye on poly count in SU as its is easy to go very high with lots of entourage, plants etc. Organise your model always very carefully and use layers extensively.

Hello, just registered here and hello everyone
I use SketchUP since its first editions when I started to model 3D homes and garden developments or furnitures.

Oh, you must have been some 10 years old back then (when version 1 came out)!

Good Morning. Newbie here - dmcm85.
I have used free Sketchup for several years and have used the Pro 7 version since it came out. (Convinced my company to buy because of my speed of concept sketches) I work on design and engineering using Sketchup as a concept and construction tool. Im exploring rendering plug-ins for my presentations. I work in the Audio Video Home Theater world and design/build furniture.
Thanks and I hope I can learn and help out.dmcm85

Hi David and welcome!
In the Gallery we have a "Render applications home pages" sticky topic where there are tons of them listed.
Hope to see some of your works!

Thought I'd say hiya,
I'm doing architecture at uni, so thought I'd learn a lot more about sketch up and 3D modeling to help.
Awesome site, I'd like to say thanks to whoever makes it possible -
Hi Cris and welcome!

I figured it would be the kind thing to do and introduce myself. I am Jeff, I am an Exhibits Project Assistant at The Henry Ford Museum in Michigan. I do layout and starting on more exhibit design work. I have been using sketchup for a few months, but have a strong background with drafting/architectural design/and the like. I don't use the software so much for it's rendering purposes, but am starting to venture into it for presentation purposes. Basically I am using Sketchup in the museum world to make the redesigns easier and making it easier for communication to happen between the departments that need to make the decisions and just can't visualize things in their head easily.
Hope that makes sense.

Hi Jeff and welcome. This sounds interesting (as I also do similar things although mostly not arranging exhibitions but creating virtual 3D stuff for exhibitions).

Hi everyone,
To say that I am out of my depth here would be a understatement. I'm a 35 year old Grape grower that regularly stares at the computer in complete confusion, but I have always had an interest in plans and building (I still have a graph book around somewhere with house plans I used to draw when I was about 10). I did tech drawing in high school and pretty much blitzed, but never did any more than that. I've never found a program that would work the way I thought it should (probably not the programs fault
), until now!! I drew up a steel frame bench that I built to post on a related forum and thought I had the thing sorted, but it really only used the features explained in the 'chair tute' and now I am stuck trying to draw some pipe fitting and 'T' pieces, so here I am, about to try out your search function.I look forward to learning some stuff I've been intending to do for years.
Cheers,
Dex. -
