Have you built what you design in sketchup?

I don't have much use of rendering. I have found Sketchup to be almost perfect for flat plate steel design.

With exception of a few models, everything I've made using SU has been build...
The exceptions have primary been changes in projects and models I've made just for the fun of it...

Some of the projects made just for inspiration and fun:
Regas
Magazine inspiration

Some of my real projects:
My sisters house - not to mention kitchen.
Building.
(former) parents in law house

Unfortunately I'm not allowed to show most of the "Real Life" projects because of NDA's...

Maybe You should clarify - You guys used SketchUP's model as a construction base - with all the dimensions and etc., or as a conceptual base for further processing and building?

both, depending.

Except for possibly p*$$*&g off your client, I fail to see how a rendered view, and corresponding photo of a project's public views violates confidence. Darn Lawyers, they are almost as bad as Architects:-)

This is the first phase of a much larger downtown renovation plan. It was also my first project that went from SketchUp to construction. The caboose was removed late in the design process. The sidewalks in the foreground and bike trail on the right have since been completed, but I don't have a good photo. SU was used for conceptual design, and then exported to CAD for final CDs.

I've built a few of the things I've drawn in SketchUp. I don't have any photos to show at the moment, though. The first thing I built from a SketchUp model was cabinet for my shop. It's 6 feet wide, 7 feet tall and 24 inches deep. I built it from scraps of 2x4 and 2x6 lumber left over from a garden shed. A lot of the things I drawn/designed have been built by others, though. Here are a few examples:

This stand up desk was a fun project. I designed in a hidden compartment.

There's also the cover projects for a number of Fine Woodworking issues this year.

shura

Nightclub lighting design.
Even my idea to have the Dj's desk made of concrete was adopted.
In this project I used SketchUp for almost everything.

Kristoff, Very nice, love those stairs. But regarding google, when I got to the front door; I found that you left it locked, and I was unable to get in for a look around:-)

I left a key under the doormat...

Slimdog

Swing bed.

My very first sketchup model. I did every thing from the paper napkin drawings to the welding and assembly and final finishing which was for me. Only thing I didn't do was program the CNC router.

A few months after I completed the bed I saw one on the TV show worlds most extreme homes but the one in the show was hanging from the roof not free standing like mine.

We moved to New Zealand last year and shipped it here. Now we are moving back to Canada and dont have enough cash to ship it. I have been trying to sell it for a month now and have the price down to $100. If it doesn't sell in the next week I am taking it to the scrap metal dealer. Can't find a smiley with tears which I would insert here.

If I build another one some day I would like to get it anodized. I also have a few other similar designs.

This is was my very first model in sketchup
