Exercise for practicing Orbit, Pan, Zoom for beginners

cotty

I have created a little model for beginners with which they can practice the navigation with a scroll wheel mouse in google sketchup. Any suggestions for improvement are welcome!

Cool model (and I mean that also cool looking model).

Suggestion? This model is perfect for practising the alignment (and lock) of the rotate and protractor tools, too.

I didn't had this in mind... but great idea!
I think I will create another exercise model for aligning and rotating in the next days I think somethink like a (3D?)-puzzle will do ... other suggestions?

Now that would be extremely cool. Something like a SU Rubic cube (not really rubic cube of course) but a 3D puzzle and the "rule" is to only use the rotate tool.

Here would be a cool plugin to check if the solids penetrate each other:
