      I am an ex-graphics artist, now master electrician specializing in overseas construction at american embassies and have used SU on more than one building remodeling project, at work and at home. I have been using the free version of SU, but I didn't make much progress until I worked my way through a few tutorials. Now, I build all my projects in SketchUp before I start the real thing. One thing I know for sure is that it would be easier to build models if I knew more shortcuts and tools. I got here following a link to Curviloft. I can see now that there is a whole lot more to SketchUp, especially with plug-ins. Thanks for the Forum!

          😒 Ok hey guys, so I am new to SketchUP, I hope someone is awake to help me, I am from South Africa. My name is Anne-Marie and I am busy drawing a house, eventually I will have to draw a whole factory, now I am panicked because I had the SU Podium as a free plugin, now that was a year ago, it has expired... Is there a plugin I can download that is user friendly, and foolproof?? 😳

          Great to see so many people here!!!

                  Hi, I'm Theo from Oss and I joined the forum to download the bezierspline plugin. About 5 years ago I made a 3d model of a boat and now I have no idea how I made the curvy lines on the boat back then. Hopefully I can come to the same result with the plugin.

                        Welcome, Dylan. After a couple years you may "still" have even more questions. It seems there is always someone here who can answer them .

                            Hello,
                            I am French and I live in Paris. I teach technology in middle school. I would like improve my abilities to use Sketchup. The trouble is I am not very good at English, espacially at "technical English". So I would like to participate at french forum. I think I chekboxed in French forum, but it looks that it does'nt work...
                            Thank you for your answer.

                              Hi Alexus and welcome!

                              Do you teach SketchUp? 😄

                              Your usergroup settings seem to work and you are in the French usergroup. You should be able to see and post in the French forum now.

                                Does it means I have to wait a little bit or something is it wrong ?
                                I answer your question : Yes I would like to teach sketchup seriously, but I have no lesson ready to use which is related with the national Technology program. Anyway, I have to learn much more about Sketchup.
                                By the way, I am 51 and some of my pupils know Sketchup and they are much better than me...
                                See you.

                                  Yes, newly registered members have some limited permissions for a short while. Here it's about the member list and profiles, not the forum itself

                                  However at the bottom of the forum index, you should see the French forum.

                                      Just installed SU8 Pro and am trying to learn the ropes. Went through the Google tutorials and am hooked. I'm looking forward to playing/learning more!

                                            Hello all, Id like to introduce myself. I’m Adam from Perth, Western Australia.

                                            I’ve been lurking on this forum for a while now but haven’t contributed (yet). I’ve been “hobby modelling” on and off since the 486 days when I used to use a program I think called “CAD 3D” or something by Expert? That was a long time ago. Recently, my passion for modelling has been rekindled and I picked up Sketchup about 6 months ago. It was slow going for me at the start but I eventually read everything I could, looked at every tutorial I could, and was immensely inspired by the works of ixlrlxi/600v (amongst many others, some on here).

                                            I then found this forum and was blessed by the fantastic content and willing help available. I commend all of the contributors and regulars that help out new modellers. I hope to one day have the ability to help out the newbies.

                                            My interest in modelling is definitely cars and machinery in general. Whilst I haven’t had much luck with making decent cars, ive recently started playing around with SDS and will likely purchase Artisan soon. I hope to have a model of a car soon for all of the seniors to critique and hope to refine my mesh making skills. The more I research, the more I’m overwhelmed with just how many different ways there are of doing things. Using plug-ins, not using plug-ins, etc.. all I can do is baby steps I suppose and im sure to some it just comes naturally.

                                            Anyway, a big thank you for all the great work being done here 👍

                                            Cheers,

                                            http://aconnoll.deviantart.com/
