Go ahead, post the skp file .... we won't steal it, I promise!

Take It!, I'm making enough money off of it. LOL




This program has lots of potential as most all of you have pointed out.
I
have watched 2 tutorials on the basics and feel that it goes pretty
quickly
if you already have some CAD experience.

Attached are the a printed PDF from Sketchup, 2 pictures of the project
as
it stands at the moment, and a picture of the original CAD drawing. The
desk is being held together by Domino's and no glue or screws. I wanted
to
be sure that it all correctly fit together correctly applying the glue.

Good one ... careful now, Sketchup is habit forming. Lately, instead of
watching TV with SWMBO (enjoy the company, but really don't care for TV)
I've taken to sitting with my laptop while she watches TV, and I work on
my
Sketchup chops.

I am having a pit of a time so far with the copy command. I cannot seem to
copy and attach exactly where I want to place the copy.
The Push and Pull works quickly, most all were done with this tool.


AAMOF, last night started a 3D drawing of the mission sideboard I did a
year
or so ago. I find an even better way to learn is to work on something that
you've built, and are therefore familiar with the components and how you
did
it.

Yeah, it seems to help greatly to be very familiar withe what you are
drawing.


I really do like the desk ... might have to look closely at that walnut
log
we've been offered.

Yeah, you'll need to take a look at it when y'all go up in July. Perhaps
when we come up in August we can transport the lumber to the lake house and
sticker it, if the price is right and you have the room.
