A Welcome Message to New SketchUcation Members

Hi,
I'm Edi and Hello to all! -
Hello, my name is Mark.
I've been using SketchUp for about a year now. My main focus is in rainwater harvesting and I have found SKP to be a great tool in every aspect of developing a rainwater system. I recently decided to branch out a little and install some plugins and found Sketchucation. I am very pleased with what I have seen so far! Great job, thank you!If you're looking for models of rain barrels, cisterns, rain tanks, specialty fittings, first flush diversion, or anything relating to rainwater harvesting, check out my models in the 3D Warehouse. Search for rainwater harvesting, or type in: SRQrainbarrels
Also, let me know if you need help with one of our models, or have any questions. I will be glad to help in any way I can. -
Good Morning Guys!Newbie here....
I was sent here by one of the thread i am in,
my question is that how can i get the plugin for round corner? and how to add it so that i can use it in SU8
TIA

Hi all!!!
I would like to join to your community!
My name is Cveti. I'm a civil engineer, but my interests are mostly in the fields of architecture and interior design.
I use SU ( the free versions) since a few years and I love it.
My new task is to learn to make a photorealistic renders of interiors, so I'm going now right to the gallery, which I hope will help me to choose the right render for a cmplete beginner.Good luck to all of you!

One way to find Plugins: Click the big red "Plugins Index" button at the top of the forum page. Use your browser page search to find the word "round" Or scroll through the page by author.
In this forum the current plugin is usually in the FIRST post under the [Plugin] titled thread. Be sure to download all the required files.http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=323&t=35746
This is the place to start learning about installing.http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewforum.php?f=323&start=0
This is the Plugins forum under "Resources/Plugins" There is more information on where to get plugins, and how to install and use them, in the different threads.There is also this: http://sketchup.google.com/intl/en/download/rubyscripts.html
This is a page found if INSIDE SketchUp you click Menu item: "Help/Learn about Ruby Plugins".Note: Roundcorner.rb is a plugin that must be activated (check mark) inside SU using Menu item: "Preferences", tab:"Extensions". (not all plugins are)
Again, welcome to the forums! Peter -

Hello Ucation and thank you for memberizing me..
I am totally new not only to this forum but to sketchup also. I have no experence with sketchup and was looking for resources and just happen to be reading an article and someone mentioned this your site, so here I am..... I am an avide woodworker and I wanted to learn how to draw the things I think of. I looked at a couple of the posted pics with the 3D renderings and loved what i saw could be completed. Thank you and sorry for spelling and carrying on.

Hey everyone!
Nice forum. I got some great info from posts here and there and thought I would join to say thanks where thanks is due.
I do have a question, but I'll search around for an existing answer first.
I'm a second year Construction Management student, and have been using SU for three years now, and have used it to design furniture, house extensions, building takeoff models (sort of BIM) and piece together building systems for my job as an estimator / contract admin.
Sometimes we come across a new system we haven't used before and I virtually build it in SU to look ahead for any issues. It's saved us lots of time and money in the past. Best of all, I get paid to play with SketchUp!
Anyways, talk to you all soon.

Hi all,
Just thought I'd introduce myself.
My names Moogle (its a nickname not my real one!
) and I've been gradually dabbling with SU for just over a year.
Mainly using it for making model train stuff I need.
I've just found this forum. Looks like its gonna help me a lot! -
Hi Moogle and wlcom!
There are a bunch of train enthusiasts here - feel free to browse around (unfortunately the forum search function is rather crappy though if you do not exactly know what you are searching for)
-
Thanks Gaieus!
I'm sure I'll find them/things eventually.
Just found the solid inspector plugin.
Hopefully it'll cure the holes I keep getting when I export to a dae file!
If not I'm sure there's other things on here that will help.Cheers
Moogle

You will find out... Just ask questions and you my be surprised how many useful plugins there are out there - but of course, mastering the native, "manual" tools should always be the first.

Hello;
Planning on converting my deck into a room and would like to design it in SketchUp.
Downloaded SketchUp and now I'm browsing through the forum looking for tips etc.
Didn't know that sketchup uses plugins. If anyone knows of a plug in free or otherwise that would help me, I'd appreciate the info.thanks;
Andrew

Hey folks, how are things going? I'm Rapidkirby3k, also known as RK3 for short.
While I'm a newbie at creating 3D models in SketchUp at this time, I decided to join this forum to learn more about its features and techniques. In fact, my first 3D experience was actually when I played around with an old program named POV-Ray, using LEGO models in 3D many years ago.
Also, according to my personal list of ideas in OpenOffice, I plan to use some of my own models for creative usage in Photoshop CS5, such as artworks and maybe webcomics.
With my introduction out of the way, I thought I'd say hello to the SketchUcation people! =D
-
Hi Michael and welcome.
'webcomic' you say. We have had some guys here into this end of things. I'd be interested in seeing anything you may care to share on this art form.
Best,
Mike

Hi My name is Stuart,
I retired a few years ago and have been using sketchup as occupational therapy and with a purpose. I had a fairly unique second career as I founded Collectors Cases and created the products that my company put onto the walls of British pubs and hotels and further around the world. I have been asked to demonstrate some of my techniques of 3D framing, but do not wish to travel so I have been using SU to create the 2D graphics, I should like to go further with rendering to show how 3D artwork could look in the actual decor market and also to animate the virtual reality of my workbench to get the demonstration of skills more firmly embedded into my articles.
I only learnt to switch on a computer after I retired and as purchase of software is in conflict with my pension, I tread cautiously.
