      I do not have Facebook so I need to find your gif's so I can start learning again. I am feeling really stupid.

          I did look at his link (I do not have Facebook) and I really did not find what I was looking for in the other link. However, I went to the Sketchup Tutorials and looked at one of the links there and finally found what I was looking for. Now I am trying to learn some things again. I really appreciate the help I am getting.

          Although I used SketchUp for several years, I have been away for several months and am having to learn some things all over again. I guess that is what happens as we age (I have to look back to see 80). 😀

            @ntxdave No worries. I got the impression you might have not seen the link. It might be helpful if you get a picture in your head of something you’d like to model. Then see what info Box might have that applies. 👍

                  Opened an 8/9 year old file. Had been fooling about with various “rings”. The lightbulb went off and here’s the result. 😎

                      @Mike-Amos Thanks Mike. I don’t get the Mary Poppins reference at all. Oh well…….

                          @Mike-Amos I remember when the film came out but honestly can’t recall ever seeing it. I was was in grade school back then 😬

                            Over here in the Almost UK, the tv channels chuck it out at most of the holidays so if anyone has missed it, they were in a weird place. Sorry mate it's something that makes me chuckle a bit.
                            The title character was extremely positive which is something I think we are all in need of.

                              Dug into another old practice model. Minimal number of parts. Additional skills garnered from Box’s gif’s.

                                  @Mike-Amos Assuming the minimal parts sounds confusing? Basically only four components in each basket. The top ring, the twisted vertical bar and a two piece base.

                                    @ntxdave Thank you sir. I’d suggest starting with simple shapes and practice the various techniques. In particular copy/array around a circle. As you get comfortable slowly add to the complexity. 👍

                                      @tuna1957 I have been trying that but so far am not doing very well (making me feel pretty dumb). 🤪

                                      On thing I do have a little problem with in the videos is that he obviously enters info in the text boxes that you cannot see in the video. I will continue watching and figure things out. Maybe this is what happens as we age and are away for a while. 😀

                                        @ntxdave Don’t feel dumb. At least you’re trying. That’s more than a lot of people. A shame you don’t live down the street. You could drop over and see in real time how I struggle with this stuff. 😬

                                          Then Dave or Rich will split the relevant post out of this one and into the new one.

                                            Another odd object. Experimented with a bunch of different effects for the material on the globe when rendering.😎
