Have you built what you design in sketchup?

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

re:springfield.. no, i didn't work on the concrete park that you're talking about though my company did.. i'm a carpenter and build mostly indoor stuff out of wood.. i built the indoor park there around 10 years ago prior to them saving up enough dough for the concrete park..
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

I'm still new to sketchup, so I don't have much works realised. One thing is the renovation of my interior designshop:

A Sony shop I did last year - first the render
Maxwell render
and the finished product

The total shop was completed in 7 weeks and we just barely made it on opening day.

Those shelfs look great fastech370.

You are in a very select group here who has actually build what they modeled like the thread title says.

I have just ordered the components for the attached machine barrier. The building kit system is made by ITEM and I downloaded most of the parts as Google Sketchup files from http://www.traceparts.com/users/TracePartsOnline/index.asp. I have attached the .skp file for those interested in this type of building system.
