    Any Sketchup Users want to share drawings?

    I know there are sketchup specific forums out there, but Im wondering if there is anyone here that wants to share woodworking drawings/schematics.
    Here are a couple examples....

    Kitchen Island, built in 1/2" birch ply and reclaimed longleaf pine.
    My timber framed house (putting up the frame now, but its snowing today)

    https://drive.google.com/drive/folde...Zy?usp=sharing

    The scenes are a bit messy, I dont usually take the time to polish the drawings since nobody usually looks at them except me. I wish the free sketchup viewer was a bit easier for the layman to understand.

    kai.

    No images showed up for me.

    You can see a few of mine here.

    You'd probably get more interest if you share images instead of the models themselves.

    Maybe my internet connection is slow, but I could'nt see your images either

    I wanted to share whole models so that we could share drawing development process. Im hoping to learn a few things.

    some of my models have 50 layers and several scenes and slices. Ive used the excel output to develop a few cutlists for timber frame buildings, and am adding more and more information to the components to keep track of materials and calculations.

    If youre looking for photos:

    I looked at your island model. It looks pretty good although I see a few things that could be improved.

    The house models look like they are quite detailed. Good work.

    Not sure why you couldn't see my images.

    This is the first project I designed using SketchUp ~3 years ago, a wall unit for our living room:

    This is the SU drawings and the final product.

    Dave, those are some mighty fine drawings. I had no idea Sketchup could produce such realistic-looking images.

    Jim, that's a really nice looking corner. Excellent job, and I think the cabinet needs an "L"-shaped extension shelf, too, like the others.

    I remember that baker's rack, Jim. I like that you can see through the window behind it.

    None of mine are worth sharing, but I would advise anyone to look at Dave Richard's material. You can't go wrong taking advice from Dave, and he seems always available to offer it.

    Here is a bathroom vanity that I designed and built a year or so ago.

    I made the mirrors as well, but didn't bother to model them first.
