Rocket 3F looks pretty cool.

Here is yet another that I never finished in sketch-up. I also do contract work if you need any help. Anyway I hope these helps!

It's a building that love Jeff Hammond as wood carpenter!

In theory if you give the wavy perimeter, some horizontal sections of the columns
the sand box "from contour" can build a surface in one move : alas this one is not very fluid in any case 😄

Maybe Cuvyloft by Fredo6 can make something but its a "big program" itself so must be learnt in deepth !

If you use Windows > Model Info > Fix Problems you'll get the results from the previous posts.

When things splat there's normally a good reason for it.

Your mesh is not a mesh that can Subdivide. Turn on hidden geometry. Look at the number of edges around the perimeter. If you select all the geometry look in the entity info box. There's 1221 entities which the majority are at the boundary.

When you subdivide you're dividing each triangle that are very close together. It won't work. You need a simpler shape that needs less think time. Large areas of your mesh triangles meet at one point which makes the subdivision very difficult.

You should watch Dale's Panton Chair tutorial on YouTube. It's shows how to start with proxy model in 2D and progress to 3D. Very educational use of SDS.

Holla back if you get stuck.

Seams to work only with Blender and 3D Max is that true?

D, thats ok because you've done enough for several life times. I was just curious. No biggy. 😄

Here are two I found on the warehouse that might can be used to make a dynamic component? I have a dynamic component for bar joist in Auto Cad that also might help?

An Image is just like another group or instance so as it's no part of the current context it is shown without textures/image...

Do you have Google 😒

So, sorry guy's. This project is one on the highly confidential list and I can't share much at this time:( It's taken on different direction at this time and instead of doing a literal wave they were exploring other curvy shapes.
I appreciate the efforts here which are not in vain and are helpful anycase.

Thanks!

Hi everyone.
My problem is about Export to Autocad.

I draw my project in Sketchup and I export to Autocad with 2d.
When I use in Sketchup, Export>2d>Autocad lots of line seems.
Can you help me pls?

Sketchup Export Options

When export to autocad.

There is my sketchup file.

Hello Roger, Pete

The "flat roof" is not really flat. Its a low slope #30lb felt roof which will be tilted away from the house. At 1/4"per foot in 12' about 3". So a gutter and down spout will be in the leading eadge south and west.
The challenged is not necessarily making the details work functional but make them look good also.
I may abbandoned the l-shape and go back to the rectangualar 16'x20' and make it a hard top, however the L-shap had shorter spans. Then maybe incorporate the fire pit. dunno???
There are many examples of flat roof and uncovered balconys done in the midweast (house in Chicago).
And an update....more ideas pondering before I get serious 😄

Thanks,

Thanks! I look at them. At first glance gantter seems like it will do the job. The project schedule is 1 year for design and engineering and 1 year for construction for an 11 acre zoo.

That turned out nice!

Thanks Fredo

Didier,

I was able to download and install the file and it appears to be working at first glance.
Is there any documentaion anywhere?
I downloaded from sourceForge today.
