        First of all i must say a big HI to all of you sketchupers out there as this is my first post on this forum.
        This is a simple car tutorial, i didn't put any explications in it, so it is not addressed to complete beginners. I think it is relatively easy to follow though.
        Here is the link http://sketchup.google.com/3dwarehouse/details?mid=cebf95c37fdfced9eb9428839fd1741b

        Awesome thread, just what I was looking for! I do have 1 stupid question though. How do I use the tutorial you posted?

          Download and open it in SketchUp. Then click from scene to scene - starting with scene 1. It just shows the steps she takes to get from start to finish. Good luck!

                I noticed that, too. 😉
                Notre however that in many languages Marian is a girls' name. know that most of these names of Latin origin have both male and female versions but they are not always used. Like Andrea (which is actually of Greek origin) is a male name in Italian for instance but is female (in this form) in most languages.

                So never mind the "slip" by Chris

                    OK. 😉

                    On a side note, I am also often taken for a woman by foreigners for my name. In our language there are no genders (like he or she) and many Indoeuropean languages have "a" as a female gender ending (on top of all, "Csaba" is a name of Turkish origin).

                    Ah well...

                              So I am watching this and can't figure out which plugin he used to get the first extrusion. The profile follows the shape in two axes. Any ideas?
                              Pic attached for the shape I am referring to.

                                I think that looks like the follow me tool.

                                  Ha ha ha, I was thinking of how he protruded the profile to the left along the shape. Egg on face here... 😳

                                    I'm pretty sure he doesn't use many plugins so when in doubt think of the deafult tools. 😛
