congrats for this friendly place!Ha! If only you could see Rich when he is paying for the rounds in the pub!
(And if you saw how many people I've banned for the last couple of days!)
This is just since Christmas - so we are not necessarily that friendly...

Hello,
I am working on an ergonomic ultralight aircraft cabin and I am testing ideas with Sketchup.
I am new to 3D software and have limited drawing capacity (inference helps a lot !).
I am in the process of getting a Phlatprinter III to make actual physical mockup.Cheers,
Laurent

Hi all,
Really glad I found this place. My name's Dylan I'm a freelance illustrator mainly working in comics. I've worked for 2000ad and am currently working on a French graphic novel for delcourt.
I got into sketchup because of its ease of use(being free helped a lot too!) compared with other 3d progs. I assumed it would only be good for very basic modelling and felt it was quite limited. The more I get into it though I'm finding out what a great program it really is and the part I thought was limited was actually me!!
My aim is to build detailed sets for my comic, to free me up in terms of layout. At the moment I still feel pretty limited in my skills but am hoping to improve with practice and help from sites like this.
I keep a blog here http://www.dylansdrawingboard.blogspot.com/ mainly sketchbook stuff but I'll stick up my models soon.

Pretty cool Dylan, good to have you here. Welcome to the forum,

I just started Sketchup this week. I'm strictly a hobby user, though I'm an engineer and I could end up using Sketchup professionally once in a while, even if mechanical CAD really isn't my specialty. My main interest is in model railroads, and I found Sketchucation by searching on features of Sketchup that I thought I'd need. The plugins that people have posted are wonderful! One of the things that makes any Internet use so much fun is that just about anything you could ever want is out there waiting for you, free.
Maybe it's typical newbie behavior, but I couldn't resist starting with a challenge--a triple track helical ramp (yes this was a few hours of work for a beginner):

Hi John and welcome!
That ramp is pretty impressive, congrats!
If you look into the gallery, there are some really nice (and long) topics about rail-roads, trains etc.

Hi All
Im only very new at this type of program , I build scale models of cars and trucks and found this program to be a great help in design to 3d in stead of just on paper , Ive learnt alot from trial and error , But have yet to learn how to make a curved pipe like exhaust or roll cage , I know Plug Ins are a big thing so Im looking into how that works , I look forward to seeing some of your work and chatting with you all over time
Many Thanks
John -
Hi John and welcome!
Let's have a quick look at the Follow me tool here. I am not sure an exhaust pipe would exactly look like this but you can get the idea. Download the skp file and do as instructed in the image.
