        I know I don't know what I'm doing - my car proportions are really askew - I'm just playin' around, but I'm still enjoying it.

                  I've been fine, thanks. I'm still using SketchUp at work, of course. I've also recently gotten back into robotics and I have a few new r/c cars. I'm working on an autonomous robotic follow-car for my high school students. It's very fun but challenging!

                      Have u ever took a car and watch the wireframe? First time i used SU 5 and i saw the car by components(i was completely wordless)and i tuned it πŸ˜„; after this i wasn t happy it was really ugly then i start to make a new car i did it,was much better than that in components,then,second try using 2 pictures of a toyota supra and i did it amazing,not verry close like the totyota,but was a car,a real good one.Those were my trying with SU 5.now i m in spain for work and i get SU 6 and i was completely out of words when i saw what is in warehouse,i was thinking that those great,awesome models are made by sketchupers and i told myself i m busted,but somebody told me that those cars are imported from games and other 3d programs,that make me feel better,i wasn't that weak as i though,and i started to tune cars, after i learned some new tips and i saw the wireframes and geometry of the cars i start to build my first concept car,wasn t very good but was better than many others.

                      For good proportions u can use temporary the position of the wheels of a desired form of car(ex:u like to make a car like a mazda miata-take the wheels of a miata and start from them,for many times i started a car and i hadn't the right proportions and the project needed to be resized).

                      PS:sorry for my bad english

                          I've been goofing off, as usual.

                          When the storms of life seem to rage without ceasing, I find great solace in retreating to my isolated realm and simply designing things with SketchUp. I still embrace paper media along with virtually any writing instrument for hand-generated sketches. I still allow my left brain, and the requirements of life, to drag me over to the well structured, database/geometry management monoliths, teeming with overflowing functionality (does anyone actually use all that stuff - ha). But, that's really not me. I'm happier wearing t-shirts than ties and there's no reason to apologize for that. I'm too old to worry about working 72 hours a week while watching the corporation blunder itself into employee and customer ignored bankruptcy.

                          My students are still using SU - of course - but they're taking a brief respite to focus on a "very popular" solid modeling tool (SW). I believe it's critical to have a well-rounded set of skills for every architect, engineer or designer. Their eyes are becoming open and they are receiving knowledge. The shop has many tools, they leave the saw when it's necessary to drill a hole. With a little encouragement I could manage to share some of the projects my students have done - probably best on another thread.

                          I wish I had something "phenomenal" to share, some creative and amazing models I've created or some amazing projects I've been involved with. No, not really. I just keep puttering through life, enjoying what I do, loving SketchUp which serves well to express, develop and share ideas. The other tools certainly have their place but for creative concept modeling, nothing seems faster, more capable, intuitive or fun than SU and I don't think I'd ever truly appreciate this if I didn't have significant experience with the other tools.

                          Sorry to ramble - wow, it's been a while. How's everyone doing?

                          Happy Sketching,

                          Brad

                                WOW .. Brad..
                                You really are a teacher , you just wrote a nice,small,encouraging speech about the persistence and the learning curve of the several stages in life .

                                I am really glad you are fine and still enjoying life as it is, and from time to time spice it up using Sketchup .

                                At my end of the rope things are steady ,inspiration is there when I search for it and sketchup is still my main tool to put that inspiration into forms.

                                I wish you all the bets and ,as always Happy Sketching !

                                  Wow - thank you for the comments!

                                  I don't know what to say except maybe I should dig up some of my SU projects and post them?

                                  To give everyone an idea what I've been up to . . . motorcycling & FPV with airplanes and quad copters . . . what a mix of hobbies, eh? (ha)

                                      Fast concept model . . .Sometimes I feel like it would be worth trading my left arm for a job teaching this stuff.

                                      I've been doing some "quick concept models" lately, modeling all sorts of things . . . having fun.
