It’s a blast from the past! 3 years ago @TheOnlyAaron first modeled a steam engine, and this Friday he is going to be returning to the designs to model anew. Join us on YouTube, LinkedIn, or Facebook to see how you can take a complex design and bring it to life inside of SketchUp

Hey @TheOnlyAaron just curious, for the live streams, you are on a 16’ MacBook Pro yes? Do just use the laptop screen? Is there enough real estate on it for prolonged use? Or do you have an external monitor?.. Thinking of getting a 16” for working at home, as no longer have a dedicated home workspace.
Who do you think taught Dave to model these things

I do… All my videos and streams are done on my 16” MacBook. I do use external monitors for “office work” and often use it to display reference imagery/plans, but the display is very good and pretty easy to work with.

@Donavon, are there any plans available for this? It looks like a Muncaster single oscillating engine.

Look at that engine closely. The flywheel rotation axis is 90° to the cylinder’s axis of oscillation. Looks like AI’s interpretation of a steam engine.

I only glanced at the image, so let’s see if Aaron can come up with one of his famous workarounds to make it work then!

Here’s one that should work.

That’s a fun one to model. I did it a long while back but I still remember doing that column. I even animated it.

Also, since I forgot to put this up during the live stream… here is the engine modeled from the plan set Dave sent me (yeah… SET… as in three pages!)
