Hi folks. If the arch is a regular arc, you can use a radial copy using the Rotate Tool. Just ideas.

Beautiful desk, great model and very nice rendering. If I built this desk, I would leave out the center portion and plant that desk in front of a window with a peaceful view of the garden and while away my days contently. Best,

Did you explode the model by hand or use the ruby that displaces all the parts? And yes, nice work.

This project is on my short "to-do" list. I should have this one done soon. By the way, I neglected to mention that the SketchUp model is now in the 3D Warehouse here. http://sketchup.google.com/3dwarehouse/search?uq=06706272781836509090&styp=c

Nice Job.... Cheers,

Very Cool. I did a SketchUp of a Shaker clock featured a couple years ago in Popular Woodworking Mag and submitted it to their collection at the 3D warehouse. Here's a link. http://sketchup.google.com/3dwarehouse/details?mid=86450875c3197c64738e43095496b061&prevstart=0

Here's a quick update on the status of my web site, http://www.Creeksidewoodshop.com. I have rewritten every page so that it conforms to standards and is now usable for web browsers other than MS-Explorer. Thanks for your comments and support.

Beautiful!

Thanks all for your comments, they are well appreciated. Hazza, I never thought of the term “surface vs. complete modelers”, but you are correct. When I first started to use SketchUp I was a surface modeler and was happy just to be able to draw and view something in 3D vs 2D. Now I find more value in using a complete 3D drawing to build furniture from than a 2D drawing. I don’t draw anything in 2D anymore.

Peweuk, thanks for your kind comments. I really can't say for sure how long it took me to arrive at the final SketchUp model. The 1st draft really only took me 2 to 3 hours, but then I spent maybe 2 to 3 more changing and tweaking the drawing to arrive at the design that I was satisfied with. As for the render, all of the setup was done in SketchUp. I used a 2 sided room & floor and added 2 or 3 lights above the cabinet to get the lighting that I wanted. The SU model was then exported into Kerkythea with out change. Ron
