Verrrrry carefully :`)

Seriously, Alan Fraser had a tut on the old forum about how to make a car from a photo...I think it could help you a lot...?

Man, I just love this place!

Until one of the rubydudes says ya or nay, turn off "shadows on ground" and nobody will know the difference (unless I'm missing something). On your other example, you can rotate the north direction instead of rotating the model (again, unless I'm missing something).

Everything I post is ver5...sounds like that saves half of you out there the time of saving back...?

Here's a half open...no rails, but the panels are a component for easy fussin':

Lawrence, can't go wrong with these:

Have fun, Tom.

E., try this for build your own:

I've seen some pre-built components like these in your photo (nice porch!), but you'll have to search each keyword here, and over in the old forum's archives. Best, Tom.

Can't wait to see your finished model!

In my book (...the gospel according to tom :`) if you ask here and people respond here with the stuff you asked for : then here is where you should have asked. (Wouldn't a special place for asking then be redundent?)

Best, Tom.

Ed (right?), go here:
http://forum.sketchup.com/
then search in the M/C group...I had good luck there the other day.
Best, Tom.

Also, search the new old M/C group...lotta great stuff there as well!
