Unbelievable work and so very generous of you to share. Thanks from the colonies.

Thank you Paul,
these are great amd will save so much time - I'm often need standard vehicle sizes to work out if a road design will work and these will help in that process.

Thanks Paul for another excellent collection.

Its great seeing this kind of generosity here on SCF. I also see that you have been thanked by a good number of our SCF regulars.

I hope the other 30 odd downloaders have shown the good manners to thank you by PM but if they haven't please accept my further thanks x 30 for these ill mannered downloaders.

I may seem a little peeved but I find it very alloying and frustrating when I see this sort of bad manners here on SCF.

Best,

Mike

Mike,
I can be guilty of the same myself, sometimes I can't think of something appropriate to say or something that hasn't been said already.
It's a weird sensation when you want to say something but leave without saying anything and a guilty feeling I've never commented on Tadema posts because I can't even come close to matching his amazing creations with something as lame as my words, I constantly feel bad about it and I still don't do anything about it.... As I said weird.

I'm hoping that the forum update will supply us with a or a +1 feature. this way I can show my appreciation without feeling inadequate with my words.
If I click the reply button I feel obliged to write something meaningful, if I can't think of something I don't reply.

Mike Lucey

.... I know where you are coming from Paul. There are folks here that get stumped for words at times. However most of those folks make other contributions in other ways. I believe everyone is quite capable of making some sort of a contribution if they made an effort but alas many just take and take and take. I'm well used to it by now but it still saddens me at times as a simple ' ' can mean a lot.

That's partly our fault for giving and giving and giving, For everything I've posted I did it without any expectation of a response but I'm also disappointed when there isn't one (damn my ego!)

At the same time I posted the doors and windows I posted a tutorial for what I thought was a cleaver way to use SU as a design tool, now it may have been the way I worded the post or it getting lost amongst other posts but it's only garnered 3 replys and one of them is mine
I put some time into it and almost no time into the doors and windows and yet look at the results, am I a little disappointed?, yes but only because of what I thought was the better post.

Now I feel bad again for not posting on other peoples treads....damn!

Me too - too often I have to confess.
To be honest, I do not have much use of the cars, trucks or windows (as I model different stuff when/if I do at all), did not even downloaded them, however thanks a lot - at least in the name of the community - they do seem to be very useful for those who need them, and also nice quality!

Thanks for putting this kind of work up where others can use the works and learn from the use of such post. This is my first download of anything for about 3 years. Theltt

Super Collection Paul - are they SDC trailers from down here in South Derry? We'll have to meet up soon in Belfast some day for a coffee and a good auld gurn about this bloody construction industry here in Norn Iron!!

We were doing a loading dock for a local company and realised that we had multiple conflicting dims for UK trailers, I rang a couple of trailer manufacturers but got the cold shoulder. I then rang a company called Don-Bur and spoke to one of their designers, damn he was helpful, he actually sent be a basic drawing with all the sizes, axle positions etc.

It seemed a hell of a waste to leave them as 2D sketches so I hunted the net for images of trailers, chassis, axles etc and knocked out what you see here.

The 2 tractors were originally from 3DW but there's no way they were made in SU so I gutted and rebuilt them to about 10% of their original size and added them to the file.

Dermot:
Call next time your up in Blastfast, there's bound to be somewhere in the city we can get a drink

Thank you very much, Paul, for sharing this nice trucks. Sorry, my English is a little small to describe my thankfulness.
Best greetings

Thanks for these Paul! I am just getting my legs under me, so to speak, with SketchUp. Used it to model an area for my master's thesis. I'm not a rookie anymore, but definitely not anywhere near as good as you. Thanks from Syracuse, NY, USA!

P.S.--What does everyone think of the new Trimble logo for SketchUp? Just downloaded the new version two minutes ago.

Very nice. Thank you.
