Throw out ideas to see how Aaron works through your shape in 3D!
Note: chances are better he’ll tackle your suggestion if it takes around 10–15 minutes. (No, he won’t model Notre Dame Cathedral, a Cobra, or a graphics card!)
Tune in for loads of SketchUp tips and a show of appreciation to all you SketchUp Livers who watched in 2024!
This seems like something you should ask for help with elsewhere in the forum as this session won’t even begin until mid-day Friday. Plus, I prefer to try to teach how to use SketchUp to model rather than create models on request then send out the file.
Please see if you can model this door knob by E.R. Butler. I’ve brought the spec to 3DBC twice now and not one person has been able to do it. But I haven’t asked you yet. I want to be able to see the bubbles inside the glass knob. Thanks!
What about a Nissen (Quonset) hut with its curved rolled corrugated iron roof.
Say 4 long 3 m wide and 2.3 high approximate with iron curved over 240 degrees into horseshoe type shape.
I vaguely remember photos of him designing this by hanging little weights on cloth hanging from the ceiling, and looking at it upside down. The idea being that created a form that was in complete tension, so if you reversed gravity, the masonry would be in perfectly balanced compression. If that’s the case, maybe cloth works could be used to create the forms.
I want to carve rifle stocks on a CNC router. But to get started I need a 3d image of the stock I want to carve. I have pictures but no drawings. How can I turn my pics into 3d images that could be used in a Vetrics program like Aspire?
