      Architectural design exploration and iterations.

      My avatar is an anachronism.

        I believe Iron man designed his suit using sketchup. So add this one

          I use SU to keep my old brain alive(71). No, that's just a side effect. Actually, I'm a recreational Pilot with a wish to build my own plane. A plane that's "different" and SU is enabling me design it. Whilst most of the models I have seen on this site are Architectural, the Warehouse shows many people using it for Mechanical Engineering. I consider myself a rank amateur compared to most of you but I do my best.

            I am using it for préprototyping scientific instruments, or for setting up virtual booth for my tradeshow, and for customer presentations ...

              Be really, really, careful with putting your body in between the two wing leading edges. Imagine a firm intersection with terra firm (aka 'crash landing') and what might happen as the inertia of the wings causes them to fold forward and those root ribs rotate…. 'head in a vice' seems like an unpleasant phrase to have in an obituary 😞

                This is a SketchUp model of the http://youtu.be/rA3mNjis3m4 LONI Probabilistic Brain Atlas (LPBA40) that I made by importing the 3D brain regions from the http://scalablebrainatlas.incf.org Scalable Brain Atlas. Each of the paired structures is in its own layer for visibility control and automatic coloration.

                  I have used it to create animations and simulations of engineering projects built by others in my department

                  [flash=600,410:1m4yup38]http://www.youtube.com/v/ZUL6S5JMxls[/flash:1m4yup38]

                  The videos are produced as part of progress reports to partners and clients, and the models and animations help to illustrate functions that are difficult to see in real life, or which may be dangerous to film on-site.
