Hello World I am new to sketch up. Just getting started. Years ago I used Auto Cad mostly for personal stuff. I do a fair amount of woodworking, furniture, cabinets, nic-naks and such. By profession I am financial/software consultant. Could never make up my mind which. So brand new to the tools, no widgets or 3d Warehouse as yet. Spend lots of time in tutorials. Once I have some experience I can see lots of opportunities for Sketch Up. Hope to get some ideas here. Mac

Good morning, been a sketchup user for the past 5 years, and I really enjoyed the freedom to draw. Thanks Google Sketchup :slight_smile:

Good evening, My name is Joe I am fairly new to sketchup 2016 Pro, but fascinated. Only about 4 months but getting the hang of it. I work in the oil and gas industry. deal mainly with piping. I have downloaded a couple of extension that are pipe specific and wow. I will try to not ask to many dumb questions. have a great day

I’m 63 and my first computer was Commodore Vic20 - long. long ago. I am using Sketchup for woodworking purposes (educated as a cabinetmaker) and for fun. My main hobby is composing music. I only use it as a hobby. Currently out of job, not professionelly. I attended a 3D-animation course in 1990, one scene took 24 hours to render. So I was very happy when Sketchup came matured. I must see myself as beginner (on/off for a couple of years) For the moment I have an Acer Aspire 5741z - 64 bit and about 6 years old with 8GB ram and an ekstra monitor (24") The printer is Canon Pixma 5700 I am also playing around with my Pentax K20 and for handling photos I use my old trusted Paint Shop Pro 8, Picasa and RawTherapy. For the computerNerds: after Vic 20 I got Amstrad, then Atari (2 versions) before pushed into a PC. RAM succession: 3Kb - 42Kb - 1Mb - 4Mb - 2Gb - 4Gb - 8Gb Processor succession: 0,75mHz - 1,7mHz - 4mHz - 32mHz - 400mHz - 1,8GHz

[image] Henning_Fejoe: Vic 20 I got Amstrad, then Atari (2 versions) before pushed into a PC memories… I started at Sinclair ZX spectrum 16k and later C128 (mostly C64 mode) - hence my Icon…favorite game back then.

Hi, I’m Hal. I’m on the faculty of the State University of New York, and I do research and teach in the area of visual perception. I’ve been using SketchUp 2014, which I have on an instructor’s licence, for a few years, on both the Windows and Mac platform, to develop 3D visual displays for my research and also for my teaching. I need quantitative control and replicability in all my displays, as well as the ability to generate multiple displays with small systematic variations, so all of my displays are created using Ruby scripts and the SketchUp API rather than the GUI. I work on my own (there are no other SketchUp users in my department), and I’ve gotten lots of helpful information from reading forums, but I haven’t joined one before. I’m looking forward to more active participation in the future. I expect to be asking more questions than I answer, but who knows–maybe I have a little experience that might be helpful to someone else.

Thank you Sketchup team and people who made wonderful plugins. You help me to stay in my job for a decade. I have a lot of beautiful memories with you, from a small house to a huge city master plan, from a robot rendering for my child to a rich of detail BIM at work, from some quick sketches to real products. Yes, I love Sketchup. Minh Nguyen

Hello, I’m posting to introduce myself. My name is Lawrence. I graduated from architecture school in 1990 and started a custom lighting company in Berkeley California in 1993. I want to use SketchUp to build 3D models of lighting fixtures and buildings. I just started looking at tutorials about a month ago. I love the work of Antonio Gaudi in Barcelona and similar buildings. I’m a proponent of sustainable design. And I promote organic architecture with lighting fixtures that fit their environments as if they were created together. I’m mostly using a MacBook Pro with a 3 button mouse, and learning SketchUp Make. I’ll probably purchase Pro after I get proficient. I’ve only drawn one simple custom chandelier so far and just uploaded it to 3D warehouse under the fairly generic name of 6-arm uplit chandelier, Metro Lighting.

Hi folks, I’m Dave and have been a sketchup user for around 10 years. I’m an Architectural Designer. Sketch Up has been very important to me in my work. The ability to portray 3D is invaluable. I currently use an HP 17 inch with 12 gigs of mem., and a terrabyte of hard drive.

What were your first few computers?
