Bus Stop Shelter
-
Hello All:
I was watching tv this evening and in one of the scenes there was this little metal and glass building for people to sit down and wait for a bus. I said to myself "I can draw that." And I did.
You can find it at my website at:

Scroll down to the bottom of the page where the "Individual" models are. I am in the process of creating a bunch more but decided to list this one now as I really like it.

Thanks Chris!
Now all you need is some graffiti, an empty bottle or two and one of those panes of glass cracked and it will look like most bus stop stoops I have seen
-
boo, you forgot to mention the in-situ hobo...
another cool componenet to add to the collection, cheers.
-
Okay.... Here's one with one of the glass panels shattered.
Someone else has to do the graffiti, I'm just not that talented.
-
Nice component, Chris. And congratulations for being featured on Google SketchUp Blog, even though it didn't stay on top long.

good component, I thought that the only place where he broke all the urban furniture was in Agentina jajajaa

Thanks Jim......
Even though Aidan's link to my site didn't stay on top for too long, my website has been getting hits like crazy!! I have logged more hits in a few days than I would have ever received in one month's time or better.
I also noticed that there is a link to your blog. How has traffic been to your site?
I need to PM Mike Lucey for referring my site to Aidan Chopra. That was really nice of him.

I hope its to your liking
And a quick question, all the faces on the model are reversed, any particular reason for this?
-
That is most likely because I drew some of it in AutoCAD. I'm still in the process of learning SketchUp, so because I am way better with AutoCAD, sometimes I create part of my model with that, and then bring it into SketchUp for tweaks, materials/textures, etc.
Now that I have a boatload of time on my hands, I guess that I should spend more of that fiddling with SketchUp to get really good.
Does anyone else around here use AutoCAD at all? I know that SketchUp's learning curve is minimal, but sometimes I feel more relaxed using AutoCAD for the things I am not yet skilled enough to do with SketchUp.
I hope that you guys don't think that I am a fraud. That would really kill my self-confidence.

Not a fraud at all. If you can do something faster with another app then by all means.
Now if you are hired into a company and they use one app and you refuse and use what you know then you should get hammered, and I don't mean drunk. Sorry, but there is a guy at our office who refuses to learn Revit and it is really screwing up our workflow something serious. He arrived with some previous projects still running so was allowed to have Autocad on his machine, now he is using it as a crutch. Why he is not getting a serious talking to is beyond my comprehension. So I keep my head in my work and try not to complain too much.
Man, I am so sorry Chris, I guess I needed to vent.
Back to your question. I use Autocad only for stripping consultants drawings if I need to import them into Revit. Our office is full on Revit now and not looking back. However I never used the 3D side of Autocad. I am using SketchUp less and less at the office but still do so for the early stages of projects. Then there are some shapes (like a difficult soffit/facia detail recently) that are so much quicker to do in SketchUp and import into Revit. Luckily I get to use SketchUp almost every evening for Form Fonts. -
Be careful, they are looking for whoever tagged it and broke that glass.
