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.

Beware of Pilou!

Thank you for your answer.
I got this message "Congratulations,
You have been added to the "Français" group on "SketchUcation Community
Forums".
But when I click I get "You are not authorised to view the member list or profiles".
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.
Alexus

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.

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,

Hi, Adam:
Welcome to the forums. Enjoy your journey.

Roy,

Even if you are unable to find MANDUN, you can do a search on "Honda" and "Motorcycle" and find several posts. I don't know if there is anything in there that will help you, you would have to explore those posts to see, but it might be useful.

There are some incredible car model building tutorials and examples that may assist you with the organic parts of a motorcycle design. Start with EliseiDesign at http://ely862me.webs.com/ His work is beyond words.

Good luck,

Lloyd

Hi my name is Mauro from Buenos Aires, Argentina.

Hi Mauro and welcome. Feel comfortable here.

Hello. Steve from London, Ontario Canada.

I am quite new to the Sketchup universe. I came across this wonderful product during my journey into custom arcade cabinet building. I found the tool invaluable in designing/re-designing my plans before taking saw to wood (or MDF in my case). I am currently using the Google Sketchup Version 8 free product and love it. This tool has helped me move from interested in woodworking and designing to actually doing it.

I have only just found this forum as I continue to search for a clear how-to on making a simple 3D box and then cutting a portion of it to make as a lid. I am sure this is rather simple but it has caused me grief to no end. This is for my second project a custom cigar humidor. Again never would've happened if it wasn't for Sketchup.

I look forward to learning lots from everyone here and hope to help others along the way.

Thanks.

Steve
