    Motivation can be hard to find sometimes. When I hit a slump I go and do something else for a while, feed the birds or take a walk, anything to do something else for a while and give my mind time to work out whatever problem is at the back of my mind. Listening to good music and reading a book is also good. Terry Pratchett makes me laugh till I turn blue for example and is a good antidote to the news reports lately. Being a Trekkie and appreciating the latest series of films I only have to watch a certain amount of the first, I get to numb tongue and whatever I see after that is a bonus. I know but we all have something.

      Since we do not have a perspective on why you are stuck any suggestion as to what do do about it may or not be appropriate. My suggestion would be to write a brief (to Self) requiring that you pick one your projects, outline what you want to achieve and a deadline. And see what happens. Good luck with the drought mate πŸ‘ πŸ‘

        Best to draw something on paper then turn it to 3D. Exercise unused muscles.

        It could be a character or object or anything. Just get something down on pen and pad.

        That might fire the brain into making it into a digital masterpiece.

        Failing that try another app. That will also cause to look at SketchUp from a different view.

        Download the free D'oh Book for SketchUp πŸ“–

            Model something completely different, challenge yourself. I love all things Scify, so when I get time to play I usually model silly scify vehicles based on images online.

              Great ideas! Then there's the occasional modeling challenge/competition. SketchUp has one going now.
