    • Rotating an object

      I want to create a circle and rotate in 90' to make it verticle. I've played around with that rotate tool, it just rotates in along a point, but not actually rotating it along the red or green axis, which I need to do by 90' to get is to go the way I need it.

      Is there a way to just pick an axis and rotate the object without using that tool?

    • These might help some people here:

      Wasn't sure what forum to put them in, decided the "help" one was most likely right.

      Cygnus-X1.Net: A Tribute to Star Trek - Blueprint Database

      These blueprints can help you make some impressive ships with some skill at sketchup. Hope they provide some people here with some πŸ˜„

      I even added Marians name into the title so he might spot this thread easier. Maybe he can help out best.

    • Could someone show me how this was done? [Marian, you here?]

      Have a look at this SU model, please:

      Error 404 (Not Found)!!1

      favicon

      (sketchup.google.com)

      Could someone tell me how the hull and the armor panels on it were made, especially the forward ends? I'm assuming one half the center hull was made, like the upper half, then mirrored or duplicated, flipped and joined. (Hey, I know something about 3d modeling.)

      I just don't know how those smooth, tapering hull sections got made and how they had those panels molded to them, I've used blender off and on again for quite a while and still can;t make something like that. Did someone make a 3d outline of the hull cross section and extrude it along a curve using the "follow me" command I've heard of?

      Thanks for any help.

    • RE: Great way to organise your sketch-up files!

      I just wish I could get my vistugh machine to display thumbnail images of the models I download at 3d warehouse like my XP machine does.

    • RE: Scifi Sketchup Modeling

      Holy fracking frak, dude! If you were to post tutorials, I'd become your eager acolyte and sing your praises daily! Is all your 3D work in sketchup? Do you render with that kukythera?

      That first one, the asteroid miner, looks a lot like the bayern, the first ship I plan to do in sketchup.

      I noticed you use XP. When you go to a skp file does it show a preview of the object in it? My XP system does, but when I use my vistugh system it just shows a generic icon for skp files. I wish I g=could get vistugh to show previews of skp files like XP does.

      Two Tea Party members went to a drive in. They thought the movie was awful so they slashed their seats.

    • RE: Spaceship Tutorial

      BTW, do I need any particular rubies to make these tutorials work?

      I hope I can soon post without waiting for mod approval, it should be obvious by now that I'm not a spam bot.

      Ummmm spam ooooaaaahhhaaaaoooo.

    • RE: Spaceship Tutorial

      These look real good, even in russian. I'm looking for more SF/spaceship tutorials if anyone has 'em.

      My first sketchup product may be a model of the Bayern from the traveller 2300 module "Bayern"....
