    • Adirondack chair with 3-board back

      I use SU 2017 Free. For this one, I made separate models of each part, rotating as required to get the part in board orientation, then imported into Chief Architect in order to print full-scale patterns.

      The lumber for these is costly. We live winters in SW FL, summers in the Adirondacks. Down south I can get cypress and up north the yard has perfect tight-grain western red cedar that's quartersawn.

    • Tigerwood settee

      Did I show you all this one? Saw it in a model home near Phoenix, all tigerwood except for the crest rail.

    • RE: James Krenov sofa table with shaped legs and floating top

      I am just now introducing myself to Sketchfab, and here is a Sketchfab version of this in which one can examine the method of joinery.

      Enjoy. https://sketchfab.com/models/61a26a95bb2f4f5cace4d8c466982e6e

    • James Krenov sofa table with shaped legs and floating top

      Pretty much as James made it long ago. From his book "A Cabinetmaker's Notebook," it has a split top.

      I could have put a tiny bit more concavity in those leg surfaces, but beauty, of course, is in the eye of the beholder.

      Thanks. I had forgotten about needing to do the installation. All is OK now.

    • Cannot get Mirror to work in 2017 SU Make

      I've gotten very good use out of this extension since I began using it years ago. Mirror.rb.

      I downloaded and installed SU Make 2106, and have copied the ruby file from where it was in SU Make 2016, then pasted it where I thought it belonged in SU Make 2017.

      It worked fine in 2016. Select anything, right click for context, and Mirror Selection was right there under Zoom Selection.

      It is not there in 2017. What do I need to do? I have copied and attached images from my file explorer.

    • RE: How to set up MIRROR tool in Sketchup Make 2016?

      Sorry. My laziness prevented me from looking in the SU 2015 program file. I copied the plug in from there and pasted into 2016, and all works fine.

    • How to set up MIRROR tool in Sketchup Make 2016?

      In earlier versions, I have the mirror tool and it works by context (right) clicking an object, selecting MIRROR, then clicking three points to define the mirror plane, and go, the object then mirrors, with the selection option to keep or erase the original.

      I want this the same in SU 2016 Make. How do I do it? Here is what I have in my DOWNLOADS folder.

    • Help. Lost my Mirror function when upgrading to 2016 Make

      I had an extension, a plug-in, called Mirror, don't know where I got it, but I used it all the time in my earlier versions, from way back.

      Cannot find anything like it in the extension warehouse.
