I’ve Been “Boxed”

@tuna1957 said in I’ve Been “Boxed”:
@ntxdave Dave, Box posted a link in his last post. Smash and it’ll get you there.
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.

well done Tuna

@L-i-am Thank you sir

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

A Ma Zing. Mary poppins would be proud mate.
-
@Mike-Amos Thanks Mike. I don’t get the Mary Poppins reference at all. Oh well…….
-
Mary Poppins the film 1964. "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious", something wonderful, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious
-
@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.
-
Very sharp, completely lost me there but, it's thursday so.........
-
@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.

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

I thought I saw a video somewhere using the quad face tool plugin to draw something like a fancy btacelet but I cannot fing it anymore. Does anyone know where I can find it?

Another odd little thing. Pulled some parts from an early practice model and ended up with this…
