Hi,this probably a stupid question but I have tried but cant get anywhere.
Now picture this if you will.....I have made a house roof in a scale of 1:120 and made it a component(part of a complete house that I 3dprinted).
Now I scaled my model up to 1:64.As my printer bed isnt big enough for this size model I want to split roof into two halfs eg:two seperate components(so I can print two seperate halfs)
Is this possiable or do I have to redraw the whole model?Im going to have the same issue with the floors and walls.
Hope this makes sense.
Thanks for time in reading this.

Theres no plans as far as I can find so will just go on dimensions that I know off.
Thanks again

Hi There,Been a long time since my last vist(computer problems!)
I have done quite afew models with sketchup and had them 3dprinted.The tricky stuff I have to pay a designer to do for me.
I can do buildings,truck trailers etc with no trouble(took awhile tho )
But I would really like to learn how to do stuff like the cab on the truck in attachment,chassis and wheels etc are no problem.
I have "curviloft"and had a wee play and have managed to make a wall with thickness and curve on one side.Would this plugin be the best way to do all the curvy bits needed?
Any help I could get from you "amazing" sketchup experts would be very very helpful and greatly appreciated.

Hi there,
Im a very green newbie here but making good progress with sketchup(Heaps of fun).I thought I would be smart and download Roundcorner,after an hour or so I found the plugin folder thingy(I aint a commputer geek!!!)But cant get the program from there into sketchup.I know Ive either done something wrong or havent done something that I shouldve.
Sorry if its hard to understand but unsure of the commputer terminolgy(sp)cant even spell
Thanks for reading anyway.
Must say theres a hell of alot of very clever people on this forum,glad I stumbled on it.
Cheers
