Hello everyone! I'm TheAmateurArtist, but feel free to call me Ethan. I really want to go into 3D modelling for video games and that's what lead me to SketchUp. I hope to learn all that there is to know when it comes to modelling and, maybe, I'll share some of my creations on here.

Hi,
I have been using sketchup now for 3 years, and have been a committed sketchup forum stalker! Always searching for news and information about my drawing program of choice! The last 12 months have seen my sketchup use increase and there for my need for efficient and particular results have also changed. I can now no longer be a closet sketchup forum stalker! So here I am!
Looking forward to being involved, in order to keep learning, and improving my sketchup and layout skills.
Cheers,
P.

Hi all! Miles here!
I've finally decided to try out sketcher. I have some experience with 3D modelling so I hope it goes smothly! See you around! -
Hi Everyone in SketchUcation, I have used this forum in the past to learn about SketchUp and did not post messages because I was learning what I needed for my simple project. I designed what I will call a shelf system for my shed that I bought from Suncast. The project came out great. I knew how many 2 x 4's to buy and angle cuts needed and how much OSB to buy and how to cut it. After using AutoCad, I found SketchUp very user friendly. I plan to design and build my own shed. I see a lot of sheds in the warehouse, but I cannot find an example for me to get good ideas from. I plan to use lots of layers and turn every part into a component. I hope in the end that it will be a great model for members to get ideas from and show off what SketchUp can do. Keep Drawing, Joe

Hi All,
Modelling my house for an ambitious extension application. I'm learning fast but need a better place to find good textures and models, because the 3D warehouse is useless.
I hope to contribute how I can.

I'm pretty new to skp, but it is already opening new doors for me; out of the prototype workshop, off the tools and into a world of quicker design results. A lot to learn, but this platform is proving useful from the get go.

Hi everibody. just signed in.
I was looking for somthing to reduce mi model dimensions and saw Cleanup plugin by thomthom.
i'm working for my accademy thesis on a reconstruction of my quartieer (first time of using SU) with much image file inside. I'm at half work now an my file is over 400MB... SU start havin moments of stop very often. maybe i have to buy a new graphic card because i need to show my project during the thesis makin a walk inside the model...
Thank for this assistance -
Hi Hikako and welcome!
Indeed TT's Cleanup plugin is one of the best in that category!
As for images: note that by default, SU will only display images up to 1024x1024 pixels (or double of this size if you enable large image files under your Preferences) so anything that is bigger, can safely be resized for SketchUp. 400 Mb is extremely large - and I doubt that any new card would help much.

Hello everyone!
I am pretty new to sketchup but hope to get better and better with some help from this forum...
Now I am gonna go and inhale this knowledge

Hello Everyone,
My name is Chris, I've been haphazardly using/learning SU since ver. 5. I had gave up many times along the way as it seemed to difficult and confusing, not to mention time consuming, to learn and use. Glad to say I consider myself between novice and intermediate user now. I recently discovered the updated video tutorials, started watching those from the beginning again, they helped tremendously. I highly, highly, recommend these to anyone using SU new or old, they are so much better than the old vids, and give a whole different approach to SU use. Lurking around this site has taught me many tips and tricks, and now starting to discover plug-ins and other resources which will come in handy. Thank You SketchUcation!!!

Hi Katt and Chris and welcome. If you have any problems, do not hesitate to ask questions. There are no "stupid" questions in the newbie forum!

Hi All,
Ben here, I've been using Sketchup Pro for now more than a year by now to design industrial plants for my company and produced construction documents with Layout. My colleagues are stunned by the possibilities and the quality of the produced documents.
Cheers

Hello,
This is my first post....exciting! I am an interior designer and work with Sketchup Pro. I am looking for a sketchup developer who can create a custom plugin for an application that would be in a 2D format (not an overhead view but rather an elevation/foreground view, something like a one-point, straight-on perspective). In using Sketchup we find that, although possible to create a wall elevation from a 3D model, it is a bit challenging as the image seems to want to convert back to 3D. Anyway, if there is anyone out there that is interested or knows of someone to work with on our project, I would appreciate it.
I'm looking forward to participating in this exciting format!
Thank you in advance,
Cheryl Howard
