Nice work there. I like it.

One crit: the ramps are too steep. Make them 1:12 to be legal.

I still want to see more of your boats.

Thanks.

Yeah, there's a lot of flubs in this one. The ramps were just tossed in, no handrails, no details on the rafter joins, no caps on the support columns, didn't use layers, and more. The list is long. But I did learn a LOT.

pbacot, yer right. It is a long span between rafters (about 12-1/2 ft). What you can't see and was another detail I didn't bother to create are the between "stringers" and long axis planks for the subroof/ceiling. (there aren't any doors on the restrooms either )

I'm going try some basic furniture next.

Good one Eric!

Thanks! This is only my 2nd project. But I can't render. I'm using the free version.
If someone here could do that for me, I'd be glad to post the model.

You can render even if you use the free edition.

Ah! See, I just learned something new. Thanks.

Can you suggest a free renderer? (really, I swear, English is my first language )

Wow. Looking nice.

Trees, bench, and garbage can are from the built in stock components library. The light post and bushes are from Google's on-line components library.

The sconces are my design.

Background trees are from this board's components section.

Very menacing.

Nice. Those would fit right in my neighborhood.

Wow, cool design and amazing fluid.

I would have never though to use a black sky.

Sleek. Very sleek. Reminds me of high concept drawings from the 60s where they used black paper/canvas/velvet.

Very nice.

Ah! See, I did not know that! Thank you!

And yeah... geez, what a tub,

Thanks Roger. While not familiar with nautical terms nor marine engineering, I do have some grounding in hydrodynamics, hydraulics and aircraft. I'll get back to this at a later date. I'm not proficient enough yet to master the curves in SketchUp.

I've seen a catamaran cabin cruiser design I like. I think I'll try that when I get better.

But this is what I like about SketchUp. I'm looking at these attempts, and only a month later I'm already seeing what I did wrong.

And everyone and everything I see here is very encouraging.
