      Hi Frank,

      That's a nice looking gate. Very sturdy, too. It is also an excellent illustration of how components can be used to reduce file size. I spent a few minutes fixing your model and reduced the file size by about 83%.

      Thanks for posting the link to it.

        Thanks David. I wasn't even thinking along the size line when I submitted it. I went back and did the same thing on the model in the warehouse.

            Here is a tool cabinet that I drew up for Popular Woodworking magazine. http://sketchup.google.com/3dwarehouse/details?mid=c2ac91973d449b18738e43095496b061&prevstart=0

              Hi Peter,

              I saw that cabinet the other day. Nice work. Welcome to SCF, too.

                  Very nice. It looks like it would be an interesting piece to build.

                  If you were interested, you could do some things to improve the efficiency and reduce the file size.

                    I am sure of that. This one is a real one we have in our appartment and that my girlfriend spent >1 year to have back to new. It was one of my first "accurate" models, and I have improved my skills in the meantime, but I am not sure I want to dig in it again to improve it 😉

                        Here's a few models that might be of use. I haven't put them up on the warehouse yet.

                              Hi Scott,

                              Your bookcase looks pretty nice. It's a pretty big file for what it is. It could use some improvements in efficiency and you could reduce the number of segments in the various curves without losing any appreciable detail. The bird feeder also looks nice but it could do with some improvements as well. Keep plugging away. It'll come.

                                What do you suggest on improving efficiency I know the curves on the arc and the moldings have a lot of segements but but that was to decrease the fasisting when machiened on the cnc. Also what are your sugestions on the feeder. It to was drawn up for cnc machining. Thanks for your imput.

                                  I am trying to figure out how to change the wood grain direction in a component? Any ideas?

                                    Did you apply the material to the component or the faces in the component?

                                    I've already done a tutorial that covers this here.

                                          Don't apply materials to components. Open them for editing and apply the materials to the faces.
