      Original model was SU or Rhino?

      Seems perfect for prototype! ๐Ÿ‘
      Any idea of time for the process till the edition to the PDF file ?

      print it onto paper then cut it out yourself! ๐Ÿ˜„

      or, take the pdf or eps file to your local laser cutting service (there are a bunch of those nearby.. not sure if they're easy to find in smaller cities)

      if you send the file off then have the kit mailed back to you, i'm not sure how long it will take..

      Next : in what material you want make it ?

      i want to make it full size out of wood ๐Ÿ˜„
      that said, i might take my computer or file to the guy down the street to get a $quote.. i'm curious now.

        SWEET! ๐Ÿ˜ฎ
        was it easy to get your sketchup model inti make?

        took me a while to find a format that will import but eventually tried .obj and it worked fine..

        curiously, dwg or dxf weren't acceptable formats ๐Ÿ˜„

          thats neat. did u send it as a solid? or as a matrix like you showed your SU model earlier? I would imagine a solid.

            yeah, just a single outer shell.. (sketchup solid)

            I'll try some other non-solid exports later to see what happens

                  oh, yeah.. instant.. in the first screenshot i posted from the app, you'll see the panel on the right side.. as i change the parameters on the left, the cut list on the right updates along with the model.. the pdf is the same thing as the right panel so it's just a matter of saving the pdf..

                  the app gets sluggish when you start making a whole bunch of intersections/slices.. i imagine these real time booleans require some serious calculating power so i'm not sure if they'll be able to improve it in that dept.

                      Is this feasible in a real world scenario?

                      Would you actually frame and skin and ramp/bowl in this manner or is this something that would be new in this field?

                      The reason I ask is because I saw a few videos of Team Pain in action. Stunt Junkies on Discovery showed the Grand Canyon ramp. So if this is a proof of concept then I'm intrigued.

                        yeah.. entirely feasible
                        thing is, i wouldn't want to surface this thing.. i like how it looks.. i'd rather build it in the standard manner then maybe mirror this one next to.. that'd be sweet.

                        yeah, it's nbd

                        i'm not 100% sure i'd like to do it like this because i'd be paying a cnc operator to do most of the cuts instead of my crew.. i gotta look out for the boys you know ๐Ÿ˜„

                        the mirroring scenario works out ok though.. the boys get their cash and people have something cool to look at as well as something awesome to ride.

                        oh yeah? then you saw me on there ๐Ÿ˜„ (depending on which clip you saw)โ€ฆ

                        90% of team pain's wood projects over the past decade are my projects (design and crew leader)

                                    yeah, i designed/built that (the corkscrew)... it's actually one of the first complex projects i used sketchup for (i worked on tony's first loop, the first one in history, inside a bullring in tijuana but that one was designed by tim payne himself โ€” i've built maybe 6 or 7 since then)..

                                    i found bob's corkscrew folder on an old hard drive.. v4 ๐Ÿ˜ฒ ๐Ÿ˜†

                                    Screen Shot 2011-11-10 at 5.30.54 PM.png

                                    check out this file i used to help get my brain around wether or not the dimensions/angles/etc were right ๐Ÿ˜„
                                    view->animation->playโ€ฆ i basically held my left hand palm facing down then made a peace sign (fingers being the legs of a skateboarder) then moved my hand across the screen with the animationโ€ฆ ๐Ÿ˜† ๐Ÿ˜†

                                    burnquist 2 slice3animated copy.skp

                                    prior to building the corkscrew at bob's, i also built him a loop which was a convertible (the top opened up so there was a 14' gap which he aired upside down.. built that thing on two successive weekend while also building the first mega ramp for danny way โ€” 2 weeks of hell ๐Ÿ˜„ ).. anyway, tony hawk's worst fall ever happened on that loop .. check it.

                                      there's a dialog for selecting your material size.. each page of the pdf represents one sheet of my selected material size.. with the dimension i chose for the final object and the size of one sheet of material i chose, only one piece fit on the material with a lot of waste left over.

                                      if i were really going to have that cut to order, i'd want to readjust my parameters in order to maximize material/minimize waste. ๐Ÿ’š

                                          I have seen that the maxi % of the PDF is 6400 %
                                          Seems your little piece at the page one is 50 cm
