        Hi there, I'm Rino (you'd never have quessed 😄 )

        I have worked for some 14 years as a VB.net programmer but got thoroughly sick of it.
        When my boss started making noises about having to size down I was off and now I am doing paintless dent repair and reviving headlights, a bit of a change and I'm loving it!

        I found sketchup looking for something to create 3d printing files, awesome program!
        Very much new at it, and learning every day, I am starting to sort of make it do what I want 😉

        I imagine this is what's used to put the buildings on google maps and that is why this is now free so hopefully people will make more? Can I put my house on? 😄

        Kind regards
        Rino

            Hello All,
            New to Sketchup but enjoying it! Just wish I could do electronic circuits in 2D. Building parts and complete machines is amaising, especially since I am just using the free version.

              Hello SketchUcation

              Been using 2D CAD for space planning (mainly commercial offices) for too many years. This year I have started learning AutoCAD 3D but SketchUp seems more intuitive for 3D, faster (more fun too) and provide some great output - so I'm looking forward to start modelling soon.

              Have the excellent "sketchup for dummies" to kickstart my journey.

              Once I've got the hand of basic modelling will want to move onto rendering - but not sure of which book to go for "Rendering Sketchup (Danial Tal)" or "Architectural Design with Sketchup (Alexander Schreyer)", to take from Beginner to Intermediate level.

              Appreciate help !!

                    Hi Daria and welcome. Maybe this could be a start.

                      Hello,
                      I'm Bojo, and it's great for me to join the community. I'm an architect and a sketch up user for years and still look forward to explore more about SU capacity. Really want to learn more from all the masters here 😄 , maybe nearest target is about making a simple animation (I like Lumenrt but I guess my PC can't afford for that frustrated render)
                      Good day guys!
                      Bj

                          Hello everyone. I'm Scott. I am in the mechanical drafting field. I mainly use solidworks and Inventor for that work, however when I need something quick I use Sketchup. It is also my goto program for any side modelling. One of the things I do is rendering of various sets used on game shows. A few models I've done can be viewed here.

                          I came here because I wanted to get into programming and scripting and I'm sure you guys will teach me some tricks too.

                                  You seem to have been able to register - otherwise you could not even post. 😒

                                  Gai...

                                      Hello,

                                      I've been using Sketchup for about a year, most of the model's I make are for Second Life but it is just a hobby for me!

                                      I have had the disappointment of dealing with a small group of vigilantes in the wharehouse who are cyber bullying people but other than that I have enjoyed using sketchup!

                                      I look forward to learning new things here and will be around to help others who I may be able to.

                                        Hi, Steve and welcome:
                                        You will find the folks here very helpful and respectful. Those are two of many unique qualities of this forum.
                                        I wonder what the issue is in the Warehouse?

                                        I take the slow, deliberate approach in my aimless wandering.

                                            Hi Jeremie/ poachiche, and welcome:
                                            As you may know, there is also a Woodworking subforum here, that you can access.
                                            Personally, I would not completely abandon the pencil. I am always sketching on paper some ideas to model in Sketchup. I imagine that many others also do this.
                                            Have a good time in this community.

                                            I take the slow, deliberate approach in my aimless wandering.
