I’m a complete beginner to sketchup but I need to model a chair for my project. I was able to model it this far after trying really hard on my own. Now i need some help
So I’d like to know how i could put a sphere where its marked in blue.
And where its marked in red, I’d like it to be a circular rod. Rod for the two legs and a rod of the same diameter of the sphere as the back support.
For the two legs, make a circle with the radius equal to the radius of the leg. Use Push/Pull to give the the correct length. Make them components. Use the Rotate tool to set the legs at the desired angle. For the crosspiece, draw a profile of half the piece, with semicircles for the spheres you want at the ends. Make the profile a component, copy it, and use the Scale Tool to enlarge it 10x or 100x. Open the large copy and use Follow Me to extrude it. Then delete the copy. This is the Dave Method. You’ll get points as a beginner for knowing this technique.
Depends. 100 points if you enlarge the component 100x, 1000 points if you enlarge it 1000x, and so on. You can redeem the points for further instruction on the Forum.
