Thread: Google Sketchup question

    Google Sketchup question

    I am drawing up my new shop and i am using Sketchup for the first time. i have been searching for "models" of tools but i cannot seem to find too many options for what i have.

    is that the case or do i need to register or log in to get access to a greater library? is there another source for such models??

    thanks
    Nick

    Hey Nick, In schetchup, open the components editor window COMPONENTS under Window heading. Once in the component window, click on the right arrow and sellect GET MORE from the pull down menu. This opens a web broser page and directs you to google schetchup search. Click on 3-D Warehouse SEARCH option. Search for the machine you want.

    I'm seeing 25-30 tablesaws right now, all specific models drawn by other users for sharing, I'm sure other machines are out there too.

    Add the machine you want to your components list, then go back to schetchup and add it to your model as a component. Good Luck.

    A better and faster tool is the grizzly app. I has all the tools...just substitute theirs for what you have, the footprints are close enough.
