      My second sketchup model...it's very simple, I basically wanted to see if I could make the wheel. Again, it's not perfect but I'm pretty happy with it for a first try on a wheel. Please let me know what you think. As a beginner to 3D and to sketchup, I'm kind of just fumbling my way along... I really enjoy the input. Thanks!

        Hi,

        What a wheel! Get it?

        Check out the tutorials on the homepage for some nifty tips on improving your modeling.
        Not to say it's bad but that's where I learnt first and i just keep my eye out for peoples different approach to the same workflow.

        I'm still a novice though!!!

          Thanks. I've been working with the tutorials on YouTube and have ordered the "Sketchup for Dummies" book to help get me started. Hopefully it will be in a few days. People here have also been very helpful.

              Just realized that my first model had nothing on the underside of the roof...it was hollow! I filled in under the eaves and tried to add a little detail to look like a gutter around the roof using the follow me tool. I also added some shadows just to make it a little more appealing. Here's the updated model.
