Hi Henri and welcome!

I have seen some really interesting and beautifully detailed clock (and watch) models made in SketchUp! It will be really interesting to see some nice examples from you, too, if you wish to share them.

One tip already; a watch will obviously contain very tiny pieces. SketchUp has problems with creating faces that have edges at the scale around a millimetre so the general workaround is to model in a larger scale and only when finished, scale the model back to its normal size.

Say it would be comfortable for you to model in millimetres at this scale. Instead, set your template to metres but work as usual - count the values as they were millimetres. This will result in a model scaled 1000:1 but in no time at the end you can easily scale it by 1/1000.

(I also added you to the French usergroup so you can see and post in the French forum when you are logged in).

Henri Salut et bienvenue!
J'ai vu quelques très intéressante et admirablement détaillés horloge (et regarder) les modèles fabriqués dans SketchUp! Il sera vraiment intéressant de voir quelques beaux exemples de vous, aussi, si vous souhaitez les partager. Un bon truc d'ores et déjà, une montre sera évidemment contenir des morceaux minuscules. SketchUp a des problèmes avec la création de visages qui ont des bords à l'échelle autour d'un millimètre de manière générale la solution de contournement est de modèle dans une plus grande échelle, et seulement lorsque vous avez terminé, à l'échelle du modèle qui retrouve sa taille normale. Affirment qu'il serait commode pour vous de modèle dans millimètres à cette échelle. Au lieu de cela, réglez votre modèle en mètres mais le travail comme d'habitude - comptage des valeurs comme ils étaient millimètres. Cela se traduira par un modèle réduit 1000:1, mais en aucun temps à la fin vous pouvez facilement l'échelle de 1 / 1000. (Je vous ai également ajouté au groupe d'utilisateurs français afin que vous puissiez voir et d'écrire dans le forum français quand vous êtes connecté in).

Blame the translator.

The gun could be a bit bigger though.
Good Job!

Pretty cool, Liam.

Can't wait to see the final model.

Well you can't argue with Remus, bottoms up!

Hey! A car that I can finally afford.
And Sustain!
Thanks!

Hey Greg,

I like new computers too, but if you want to run SU on a laptop its just a heads up that you need to by a 3-button mouse with it.
As for specs there is one right here to help you.

I'm a black belt in origami - well really I just crumple up my terrible layout printouts and chuck them in the bin - I then walk to the pub for several pints of that health drink Guinness - full of iron and ..... - makes me feel bloody good!!! Does this count as a fitness regime?

Oh Dermot-san I see you have mastered origami too, perhaps a we'll have a match in the future?

Anyway, I'm not an expert but drinking is not very good for your health and neither is a lot of iron either. Taking a lot of iron is like eating a lot of spinach and getting a kidney stone, only if it was as comforting like that...

I say take a martial arts class, a good way to stay fit and protected!

Personally I know a bit of Ninjustu, but my master encourage combining other martial arts into my training. So I also know a bit of kendo, jujustu, a bit of kung-fu here and there...
Too bad I dropped before mastery though, but even after I abandoned my training I still don't want to let myself go. I was too young to develop any muscles during training but a few exercises here and there, a few flying kicks and I feel good as new!

So if you want a different way of being fit-or at least your kids, sign up for a martial arts class. Take my word for it

I think your're asking how to make a repeated copy, follow these simple steps:

Okay, thanks.

It will take a while as the whole pack is 28Mb so cannot be uploaded in one piece (10 Mb file size limit). I think I will make a "collection" of it then post the link here.

Oh, that would be wonderful Gai!

But lets face it, you were basicly a hit. Just that you weren't perfect, don't worry in my eyes you won-I just can't stop listening to that track!

Reminds me of those people who have model train collection, how I always wanted one so badly...
Then came the cost...

He does have an amazing hobby .

Agreed.

(but you got a nasty thought burned into my head solo )

I've updated my model to make it more "round"

Then my penis is a masterpiece.

Man you gotta get off those [censored] websites man!
Even though it is true, but only the females might find that appealing to the eye... unless you count the homosexuals...

I do not have enough pictures, and that link made me from "some-what" confused to
I'll think about how to model this a bit more effectively after a break.

@solo said:

I'll settle for some superglue to keep my existing ones where I leave them.

I'm better off with duck tape

Wow, nice model and render!

I would love an office outside a stadium, I'll never miss another match then!

I forgot who said that, but it always helps
