Does it means I have to wait a little bit
Yes, newly registered members have some limited permissions for a short while. Here it's about the member list and profiles, not the forum itself
However at the bottom of the forum index, you should see the French forum.

Thanks for your kind message!

Hello all, Id like to introduce myself. Iām Adam from Perth, Western Australia.
Iāve been lurking on this forum for a while now but havenāt contributed (yet). Iāve been āhobby modellingā on and off since the 486 days when I used to use a program I think called āCAD 3Dā or something by Expert? That was a long time ago. Recently, my passion for modelling has been rekindled and I picked up Sketchup about 6 months ago. It was slow going for me at the start but I eventually read everything I could, looked at every tutorial I could, and was immensely inspired by the works of ixlrlxi/600v (amongst many others, some on here).
I then found this forum and was blessed by the fantastic content and willing help available. I commend all of the contributors and regulars that help out new modellers. I hope to one day have the ability to help out the newbies.
My interest in modelling is definitely cars and machinery in general. Whilst I havenāt had much luck with making decent cars, ive recently started playing around with SDS and will likely purchase Artisan soon. I hope to have a model of a car soon for all of the seniors to critique and hope to refine my mesh making skills. The more I research, the more Iām overwhelmed with just how many different ways there are of doing things. Using plug-ins, not using plug-ins, etc.. all I can do is baby steps I suppose and im sure to some it just comes naturally.
Anyway, a big thank you for all the great work being done here
Cheers,

Roy,
Even if you are unable to find MANDUN, you can do a search on "Honda" and "Motorcycle" and find several posts. I don't know if there is anything in there that will help you, you would have to explore those posts to see, but it might be useful.
There are some incredible car model building tutorials and examples that may assist you with the organic parts of a motorcycle design. Start with EliseiDesign at http://ely862me.webs.com/ His work is beyond words.
Good luck,
Lloyd

Hello. Steve from London, Ontario Canada.
I am quite new to the Sketchup universe. I came across this wonderful product during my journey into custom arcade cabinet building. I found the tool invaluable in designing/re-designing my plans before taking saw to wood (or MDF in my case). I am currently using the Google Sketchup Version 8 free product and love it. This tool has helped me move from interested in woodworking and designing to actually doing it.
I have only just found this forum as I continue to search for a clear how-to on making a simple 3D box and then cutting a portion of it to make as a lid. I am sure this is rather simple but it has caused me grief to no end. This is for my second project a custom cigar humidor. Again never would've happened if it wasn't for Sketchup.
I look forward to learning lots from everyone here and hope to help others along the way.
Thanks.
Steve

Hello My name is Tim,
I have been using sketchup a while now to help me design memorials & give a better drawing to our suppliers.
Most of my designs are very basic, however I am starting to try & draw more of our fancier memorials.
I am of course coming across more problems which I generally overcome eventually. So my question is to try & speed
up some of my work generally so I don't keep customers & suppliers waiting to long.I have drawn a rope effect to go onto a kerbing how can I slice it off at a certain point without altering the rest
of the rope??Any help appreciated
Regards
Tim

Hi Tim and welcome),
I guess you could use the intersect tool but I am not 100% certain of the answer without seeing what you exactly mean.
-
Thanks for being so quick.
The intersect tool won't do it as the kerb is not a solid object, but a curved object grouped to a rectangle.
I would add a screenshot but not sure how to attach it.
Regards
Tim

The new "solid tools" intersect indeed only works with solids but there's still the good old, manual way of intersecting. The skp file would even be better (especially if you could mark what exactly you want to do or add a screenshot as well).
Below the text area you are typing your post, there is an "attachment" tab. Multiple attachments function (the plus sign) is broken so you need to add them one by one to the same post.

Hello All
My name is Peter, I've been using sketchup for the last couple of years to model setups for circus shows. It's been an incredible help. -
Hi all, Tony here from Perth, Western Australia
I am relatively new to Sketchup, did a 2 day course a couple of months ago and it got me started.
I have been muddling through since then and getting very frustrated at times BUT seem to be coming to grips with it a little now. I have downloaded a few plugins which have made things a little easier.
My interests are in aero modelling, coming back to it after about a 25 year break I find that things are a lot different ā¦ electric flight and Depron foam seems to be the go these days.
I have a question that one of you guys might be able to help with,
Lets say I have a part that needs to wrap around a former, .. if I was using paper then it would work out to be right BUT I am using 6mm thick Depron Foam
If I make the pattern wrap around the former to the inside size of the 6mm foam, it is too short.
If I make the pattern wrap around the former to the outside of the foam then it is too longHope this makes sense, have included a couple of pics
Anyway guys ā¦. Hi from āDownunderā

Hey you new gals and guys, wait a minute, Iām one of you, Ok, soā¦.whenever you mention anything that you have done/tried/made in SU, try really hard to show an example. Without that, the people here that can help are trying to do so in the dark.
Learn how to do a screen capture/screen grab on your computer (go to your āHelpā selection and type in āscreen captureā and follow the instructions). If you can make a jpeg out of it, you can attach it with your post.
Try it. If it doesnāt work the first time, try again. Eventually you will learn how to post examples, and then you will be able to communicate with you colleagues and get the benefit of all of the helpful people on SketchUcation.
One other thing, anything that you can post cannot possibly be as beginner, crude, messed up as anything that ānewbie meā has tried to post, so donāt give up and help your helpers with an example of that messed up thing you are trying to build.
And Nthaoe/Peter, how about showing us some of those circus shows, sounds very interesting.
Lloyd
