      Great script, I am amazed with the possibilities, but I think it might need a re-write so we can alter the wheel well size. A 700mm wheel well just isn't big enough to fit the wheels nicely.Would it be too difficult to alter the script so the wheel well doesn't factor in the wheelbase?

      Thanks Crazy Eyes,

      That is a good question. Several parameters should be further linked with the wheel size. I'll fix them soon. Good observation!

            As Marian said we will be verry happy if u can put the "My contribution to it is to make connected Bezier curve/surfaces have smooth tangent/curvature." in a plugin.


            making the contour;for more details more curves added


            the plugin should do this

                all it does for me is generate random cars. is that what its supposed to do? Nice plugin although it takes a bit out of using your imagination

                  Thanks Ochoa. I'll say this is an alpha prototype and yes, that's all it does for now. From my opinion, Sketchup is not only a efficient tool to convey ideas MANUALLY, but also a promising way to create things using artificial intelligence, e.g. let SketchUp gradually learn what kind of cars people are looking for and generate them automatically, or build a house that has enough light in it but doesn't cost too much on the windows. What do you think? πŸŽ‰

                    Well if you look at it like that i guess your right πŸ˜„ but if you look at my cars (well the recent ones anyway) I make them with mostly only one tool: the line tool and if you use it right it will get you some pretty good results. Oh and when i was using it sometimes it woulsd generate a car with the rear panel stretched out like an airplane so yeah.

                      I checked some on the warehouse. Pretty awesome! But I cannot imagine building surfaces with line tool...how long does that take? I recommend Alias/Catia if you really enjoy building concept vehicles by hand. The current SketchUp will not bring you to the next level.

                      I noticed that bug...and I hope you enjoy it along with all other bugs. πŸ˜‰

                        lol finds a roach and says "BAM I GOT YOU!!!"

                        Actually no, its not that hard. And its alot easier with blueprints. you just need to align the lines to the points in the drawing. It depends how experienced you are

                          Could this script be made to make other shapes, like asteroids, craters, generic airplanes stuff like that?

                            it's pretty hard to build them ONLY with the line tool! πŸ’š

                              I also dreamed about that, Marian. But not for now. πŸ˜•
