      Well "some" about all models of real cars are imported....and not made by me, i posted those because i was looking for cars like those and wanted to share, i kinda have a big collection of cars so keeping tabs on who exactly made them it's impossible so i didn't give credit 😳 and most of them were on different sites uploaded by different people....
      I feel i must give an explanation every time someone mentions those cars 😛 ......as you may have seen nowadays i preffer to post my own cars and stuff.
      About tutorials, i would want to get familiar with the blueprint technique.The tutorial i've posted is only good for your own designs or close aproximations of real cars....but that i think will take a while.

      PS: Guess i should have posted the car that came out of the tuttorial

        Very nice although I would have chosen a different "tune" to go along with your video. 😄

                    First of all i must say a big HI to all of you sketchupers out there as this is my first post on this forum.
                    This is a simple car tutorial, i didn't put any explications in it, so it is not addressed to complete beginners. I think it is relatively easy to follow though.
                    Here is the link http://sketchup.google.com/3dwarehouse/details?mid=cebf95c37fdfced9eb9428839fd1741b

                    Awesome thread, just what I was looking for! I do have 1 stupid question though. How do I use the tutorial you posted?

                      Download and open it in SketchUp. Then click from scene to scene - starting with scene 1. It just shows the steps she takes to get from start to finish. Good luck!

                            I noticed that, too. 😉
                            Notre however that in many languages Marian is a girls' name. know that most of these names of Latin origin have both male and female versions but they are not always used. Like Andrea (which is actually of Greek origin) is a male name in Italian for instance but is female (in this form) in most languages.

                            So never mind the "slip" by Chris

                              I know that Gaieus all too well...there was no malice intended.I just felt i should point that out for future refference 😛.

                                OK. 😉

                                On a side note, I am also often taken for a woman by foreigners for my name. In our language there are no genders (like he or she) and many Indoeuropean languages have "a" as a female gender ending (on top of all, "Csaba" is a name of Turkish origin).

                                Ah well...

                                          So I am watching this and can't figure out which plugin he used to get the first extrusion. The profile follows the shape in two axes. Any ideas?
                                          Pic attached for the shape I am referring to.

                                            I think that looks like the follow me tool.
