Have you built what you design in sketchup?

Jeff the top piece of plywood acts as a top form for the conrete, so it shapes the top surface? Sort of like inection molding concrete or something? How do you know the form is full?
there's a radiused screed board that rides the long rails and shapes the top.. i'll take a picture during the pour tomorrow and post it..
[as in, there's no top layer of plywood to enclose all of the concrete.. the top is shaped and finished by hand..]

if I'm not mistaken Jeff that's a pretty forward thinking skatepark. I don't think I've ever seen grinds like that. have you seen examples like it before? or is this your idea?

all my ideas.. but, i've been building ramps forever. my first paid job happened while i was still in high school and i've been doing it ever since.. (even did a couple of jobs in springfield
)
building the same stuff over and over gets boring so i'm always trying to come up with new shapes that remain functional.. -
Well it is great work Jeff, I love seeing your work.
Here is another project I did with SketchUp for the Viz and CD's were in Autocad. It was one of my first SU projects and I am still pretty proud of the results.

Nah, you can't put a super smooth finish on that stuff. This is a 5000psi shotcrete mix.

I figured durability would be more important... some of those corners worry me a bit. did you do work on the Springfield Skatepark?

skateability comes first
.. nah, the stuff is way durable.here's something along the same lines (from the link i posted earlier in the thread).. those corners are doing good and they don't have the steel border with rebar welded to it like this new one..
from around 50seconds to 3minutes

i'm trying to take my wood bending skills to these concrete molds etc.. it's going to allow me to go into the direction i'd like which is more in the realm of public sculpture (that can be skated). -
We use SU heavily for a wide variety of product design, application and so on.
Pic of me, a brief article and a few SU indications of a few of the products.
A few years on and we still use it in much the same ways.

I think I've built pretty much everything I've designed in SU. From the little bits of model airplane landing gear through office furniture http://sketchup.google.com/3dwarehouse/search?uq=1259776282395917285925759&scoring=m all the way up to my new house http://www.rowledge.org/tim/building/index.html

HI all, designed and built this a few years ago. Didn't even know you could render an SU image then
You will need to scroll down on the last image

I'm still new to sketchup, so I don't have much works realised. One thing is the renovation of my interior designshop:
-
I designed and built these bookcases as one of my first SU projects

And also this woodworking bench.

There are SKP's also. Jerry

A Sony shop I did last year - first the render
and the finished product
The total shop was completed in 7 weeks and we just barely made it on opening day. -
hey . . .the TV screens don't match the render.
