      BWI bench.png
      I'm at the Baltimore-Washington Airport this afternoon, en route from Connecticut to Detroit. As I walked through the food court, I noticed this interesting bench with a bent-plywood seat and a welded metal frame. I have a long layover, so I did this quick model. The dimensions are all approximate. I don't travel with a tape measure (the TSA might fear that it's a weapon), so I used a dollar bill to measure the frame height and the width of the seat.
      Best,

              SketchUp should have a template for obscure or archaic units of measure: cubits, furlongs, fathoms, etc.
              Until that happens, I'll continue to use my dollar bill: It's a little more than 6 inches long. Sort of fitting that, before he was a general and The Father of Our Country, George Washington was a surveyor.

                  Robert,
                  Comfortable enough for a seat in an airport food court, I suppose.
