He’s going to attempt it with one arm behind his back (figuratively)

I was thinking that it would be challenging to do the model blindfolded. Then I realized it would probably help.

All that pink is hurting my eyes! Maybe he could stick to clay modeling just for safety reasons?

I think that modeling without any of the options isn’t a big deal, it will only take him more time to do it which could make the video boring.

Hi Aaron,
for beginners (and possible not only) it will be useful to learn to create that two-level slide with native tools (without the help of Eneroth Upright Extruder), when Follow Me will not help them. In the same way, if in addition to the construction itself, you will also model the surroundings - chairs, inflatable pool floats, street lamps, palms, etc…

A ‘SketchUp Live’ to watch! Thanks!

Slide with native tools

In Live it’s more difficult, the tutorial turned out well, thanks Aaron!

After some trying I managed to get the slide created using native tools. The secret was to turn pink off until the end in order to allow normal firing of brain neurons. I’ve posted it in the 3D warehouse. Search for “Barbie’s Pool Slide”
The proportions are way off, but it appears to work.

Thanks

Very nice. That was basically the same method I used. Yours is a lot more graceful than mine. LOL. The secret seems to be getting the sections aligned in all 3 axis to butt up against each other properly.

Nice!
