2008 3D Field - SketchUp

[Madison]

SketchUp is not a solid modeling program at all. It's a surface modeling program.

You have the patience of a saint if you managed to do this all in SketchUp. I use it for creating "art" -- buildings and things -- but I could never use it for mechanical design.

Very nice.

I love Sketchup. I have the full version and have been using it for a couple years now, before google bought them out. It has to be one of the quickest way to create 3d models, due to how easy the UI is to learn and use.

I just wish more people would use it so that more models would be available for use.

Here's a .pdf version of the model so you don't have to download sketchup to view it:

Yes, you called me out on my typo about solid/surface modeler.. Oops! I guess I meant "dumb-surface" modeler

I could never use SketchUp for mechanical design either, but it works well to communicate basic 3d forms and ideas to people without going into too much detail.

Haven't updated it in a while, but here's a few other projects I've used SketchUp on.

I have to disagree, I have made many models that are accurate to the nearest 0.05mm
