I thought about that, but I have no room in my basement for one.
It sits on your desktop.

Adding sound effects "Sound Files" to a specific model In Sketchup 9 free version.

That's a neat place, Joel.
Mine is a bit similar (maybe more cigarette ash piled up everywhere) and I thought my girlfriend / fiancé would be understanding.
But ever since I got married (like two weeks ago), she has been vacuuuming all around.
What gives?
-
Vacuuming off the dust ruins my filing system as the thickness gives chronological order to the stacks of paper.
At first I thought the picture was of my desk... then I realized we could still see the keyboard!
I also have a large pile of scrap paper to my left - useful for notes and very 'green' BUT it grows faster than I can scribble... -
I don't even dare to ask where my pile of scrap papers went during my week in BaseCamp!
-
When it comes to performance I wish exploding would improve its speed.
-
As for my "filing system" its called stacks.
I know exactly which stack anything is in..... I just don't know how deep it is.I keep everything. No BS here. On the far right, first shelf that you can barely see are boxes of 5inch floppies from my old Radio-Shack TRS-80 (circa 1978). I can't throw them out because I can't reach them, without moving 1/2 my office, and I have no place to put what I need to move out of the way.
And yes, I still have that machine as well. It won't work because the connectors are corroded.
In fact 6 weeks ago, I actually discarded its' old 110baud phone-line modem, that was in my way when I "cleaned up" my other workshop bench when the battle axe bitched about the "mess".I still have the expanded 1.2mb memory cards from the old IBM PC that replaced it in 1984.
And my old 486 motherboard, and my old complete SCSI computer, also dead.If the wife reads this, I'm dead.

It's called "Bait & switch". Standard with every marriage certificate.
Before; they "love you for what you are".
After; that ain't good enough anymore.

(But I love it, of course - in case she is also reading this...

To quote an old English punny joke...[you need to hear the words]
When a bride enters the church she sees the processional route and she thinks 'aisle'...
Then she sees the sanctuary at the end and she thinks 'altar'...
Then she hears the signing and she thinks 'hymn'...Somehow in the confusion of the ceremony this gets muddled in her head and later on it comes out,
"I'll alter him!"

MY desktop.... Where would you suggest???
I now see what you mean! I got the end of the stick
When I usually say "Rapid Prototyping Machine", my friends think I'm talking about this;
How about burning some of those books? You could dump the 486 PC for starters!

Offer her "Stitch and Bitch" instead. It works over here!

I like the Sphere tool and other cubical shapes added to Sketchup 9 free version.

What? Where?? v9??

Get the SketchyPhysics Ruby. It has several generic shapes with good detail, even if you don't use its animation capability.
Or, make a few versions of the shapes you want, and put them into your component library to be used as needed.

Seriously; what is that? It looks like the intercostal ring for a heavy-lift rocket, but not quite.
I've seen Rapid Proto's and the small ones are usually about the size of a washing machine. The space frame machine in TFDESIGN's photo is new to me. But I don't think it would be suitable to make bits for most of my projects, even if I scaled them down a lot. And, if I could use a RPM for the few smaller projects, the problem becomes one of surface smoothness and fit tolerance for the assemblies.
Also, burning books (or better yet, recycling them) and dumping the 486 board (and others like it) would entail getting to them and/or finding them first. Too much like work for a lazy SOB like me. Besides, I've saved all my old PC boards and cards, even defunct harddrives, for sentimental reasons..... They cost me money.
But honestly, the real reason I saved them is I had long ago planned to make a wall "mural" of them in a chronological order, but there ain't no empty wall in my office now. Ceiling maybe.... now there's an idea.

If lighting is added in sketchup, no one requires an external rendering engine. Adding video clips as texture would also be a great idea.

I disagree - adding light sources to SketchUp is no replacement for rendering. (Not saying I wouldn't want lights in SU - they would most likely be of great use, for sketchy illustrations and I'd think render engines could make use of them as well.)
