Sketchup warehouse entourage full#
The original handles were full cylinders with ends. The front of the base unit is only one face. Here’s the bottom left corner of the base unit under the bookcase: The lines separating the door fronts from the cupboard are all drawn ‘outside’ the base units, and I deleted any faces created while drawing them. I replaced it with a screen grab from the internet of the top view of a keyboard (and mouse), made the outer background transparent, and imported it onto a single face, with hidden edges, to replace keyboard and separately the mouse.īlurry this close up, but quite adequate at an reasonable distance.Ħ Make separating lines outside the underlying component so they don’t create faces
The keyboard and mouse are complex 3D objects, modelled as usual with totally over-the-top detail: the keyboard has individually drawn keytops and sculptured rounded edges: That made a texture which I used, rotated and positioned across the top, to model the moulding lines there. I imported the image onto a face placed a small amount in front of the uprights, made into a component, and copied across to the other uprights.

I made this into an image using a screen grab and Mac Preview to make the background transparent (use an image editor of your own choice on Windows that will support transparency in a PNG screen grab). I redrew the rosette using an irregular pentagon instead of the complex arcs, and copied the face of the moulding as lines into a new model (using thomthom’s Selection Toys to get just the lines). The desk edging has 12-segment half cylinders edges **4 Reduce faceting or remove rounded edges and soften a sharp edge instead ** I can’t understand how the modeller did this - it’s much harder! For example, the moulding on the front of the bookcase and the whole of the rest of it is simply loose geometry, all connected.Įven that is modelled it totally excessive detail - here’s an image of the rosette at the top, close up: The original is modelled with no use of components, and only a few groups. The simple model has just boxes for the base unit, and one each for uprights and top of the bookcase I similarly left out the runners for the slide-out keyboard tray (gray in the original image).Ģ Reduce the shapes to simple outlines, modelled as componentsĪt the range you normally view entourage there is no point in modelling (for example) the individual boards that make up the cupboard and drawer fronts.
You can hardly see the cupboard doors under the desk - I just left them out. But is the model saved in a temp.Bookcase and desk - original and (1.3 MB) When you answer "NO" the computer does act. There is just no way to retrieve them with the model, loading from 3DW the way it is presented to us by latest version of SU. Many of these models do have scenes included. There just is NO OTHER WAY!!!!!Ībout saving the model somewhere on your drive, I can’t recall this (direct) option but Susan definitely has a point. In which case the question: “Load this directly into your Google Sketchup model” is totally irrelevant.
Pete’s suggestion looks alright but then you need to already switch to that new opened SU instance to load the model. It appeared to be that a couple of times I was to hasty and without noticing it I loaded into a new model (empty). Gaieus, slight chance that you remember me asking why I could not see scene tabs when downloading from 3DW. This issue has bothered me too since latest (forced) update!
