ohhhh,i get it! you literally work for tremble. Now it make sense. I am ALWAYS on the sketchup pro forums. I am a mechanical and aerospace engineer and i use SU all the time. I am solidworks certified but thats a hefty price tag to pay for an individual license. if i worked for a company like ATK down here, that would be different story though. I am trying to make an extension that allows me to pick a material, then sub type of material, select the solid, and then have it calculate the mass of the solid. I have done it in excell but now i need to get it in SU somehow. Anyway, thanks for the awesome session today.
Skechup have so many limitations , and developers are unable to break it . Developer need to upgrade the sketchup with new tools which is most require in it to put sketchup on the next level. But they are just following old sketchup so sad.
I think there is a fundamentally flawed modelling mechanics in sketchup that prevents it to be on equal grounds with its competitors. Some of this problem can't just be "upgraded" but needs to be reworked from scratch. sketchup might have the lowest learning curve out of other 3d modelling software, but the technical debt you accumulate overtime isnt worth it in the long run. I have been using sketchup from 2007 and the same problems still persists despite 12 years of development, which makes me believe that there is no future for sketchup. Now I migrate to blender and revit, the learning curve is steeper but the robustness of the model and your control over geometry is light years away from sketchup.
This question always puzzled me, if I want to soften an entire piece or part, should I drag the slider all the way or just stop at where ever it works like I want it to?? Or is there no difference?
I’m sure the video was informative, but it is VERY frustrating when you used that higher quality real looking image on the thumbnail and your end model is NOTHING close to that good.
Ha! Maybe a little crazy... it’s something we do every Friday... hang out and model something. RU-vid makes the live stream available as a video after we are done.
honestly, you did a decent job, but the front "mask" looks pretty weird... and i'm not trying to be rude, but struggling 4hrs+ to make such a simple model is not worth the effort. Doing curved models on sketchup is NOT a good idea, and you should not recommend this software to people other than hobbyists designers and architects...
