Array along non-linear path

Will be interesting to see how this goes or if SU can handle all those seats.

Find it hard to believe people crowd into those nosebleed tiers to watch that crap. But of course they do. Everyone to his or her own. Not that I've never enjoyed being at a game myself.

hmm.. i don't think i want to be the one that finds out

here's a low-poly dynamic chair (120 faces).. i'm not sure if this is a real style design but i guess it would have to be done similarly in order to get variable seat spacing.. after doing a small sample, you might want to consider making it even more low poly..

DC_StadiumChair.skp

how to use:

in doing the example, i encountered one situation where the DC would no longer update.. i had to save the file at that point then relaunch sketchup in order to get the DCs working again..

there's a guide point in the seat which can be used as a reference to rotate the seat into an upright position..

good luck

Dear Jeff or other some kind soul can save this DC file in SU V 7 ?
Thanks by advance!

thanks.. i kinda wish i knew ruby though because it seems like it would be better and more useable that way

Dear Jeff
Does it possible to have a DC component with a "rounded" structure against a "straight" structure ?

Haha, we all build models holding thousands and thousands of seats I built a fairly detailed stadium with over 100k seats a while ago (http://sketchup.google.com/3dwarehouse/details?mid=ab540be05531814078c5a8ac7702b7f3), and liverpudlian built a similar sized model for Argentina also. My graphics card is a NVIDIA Geforce 6150SE nForce 430. You lot probably know that is hardly the best hard drive

Anyway, I too would like to find a solution, although my current method dosent take too long. Putting seats in the corners is all part of building stadiums but if there was a quick cheat way I would use it

Me, liverpudlian and a load of others post our pictures here:
