Have your 3D skills gotten out of shape? Do you want to up your SketchUp fitness game but don’t know where to start? Or are you maintaining your spatial conditioning?
If you answered “Yes” to any of these questions, this live stream is for you!
Aaron’s a little (a lot) more skilled than I am, and the machine parts that he’s done in the past are a bit outside my grasp.
I don’t think any individual piece will be a challenge, but by doing 50 hopefully we’ll run into some interesting situations.
I have pretty good 3D visualization skills, so in the previous set my main challenge was figuring out dimensions that the draftsman left implicit, to be derived from others. In a few examples they were genuinely missing and all you could do was make an assumption based on appearance. The greatest pleasure was learning better efficiency by seeing the techniques the really good modelers used. I sometimes make things harder than they should have been
@ateliernab is correct. No need for extensions at all. I did all 50 modeled with nothing but basic drawing tools and Push/Pull. All are solid components.
I’m a Make 2017 user and modelled all with only native tools too. I took a little over 2 and a half hours to do so, but would have been quicker without family interruptions. I’d class myself as an intermediate modeller now, so you’ll be fine.
