3D Modeling a Treehouse, LIVE!

[JustinH]

Friday marks the first day of summer, and what better way to celebrate than by watching Aaron design a treehouse! He’ll be working from an existing 3D model of a tree, exploring structural design using standard lumber sizes—and maybe even figuring out how to fit in a hot tub (no promises, but we can dream).

Tune into the live stream for expert SketchUp modeling tips, plenty of fun, and the usual playful banter between Donovan and Aaron!

Here are some AI and real images to give you some ideas.

I’m concerned about the outhouse portion of the treehouse design. Will it be bottomless, or have some kind of trap door?

And Dijon ketchup.

Two outhouses at the Olavinlinna fortress, Finland, 15th century. Bottomless.

Absolutely. The treehouse needs modernization. I did a quick where-it-could-go / where-not-to-go mockup of how it could work:
