Start drawing the model and we’ll help you in finishing it if you are facing any problems modeling some of the details

As I have said in the earlier post start by drawing several circles and extruding them to model roughly this shape 🙂

I do not think that making other people do your work will help you learn your subjects, we can however help you drawing the part if you have any questions

for example you can start by drawing a circle and extruding it

🙂

From my understanding you are trying to copy a number of elements which resembles people inside an AutoCAD drawing to another location

is that correct?

2017:

Start surfing each of these functions, search for youtube videos discussing their usage
not all functions might be of benefit to you, so choose the functions you search for wisely

I do not recommend that you start another course just to get accustomed to the new features
and Good luck 🙂

Hi there joseante0422,

Speaking from experience, you’ll not hear from that client again, either because he was not series or he changed his mind or even because he found another CAD Engineer to work on his project for a cheaper price;

I Free Lance CAD work myself, Solid Modeling, REVIT MEP, etc…

I have never heard from single clients, I apply for like 300 jobs only to get 1 or 2 jobs, So you need to really be patient about it and apply everywhere,

Also be fast on your bid, it also helps if your profile is complete, meaning you”d need a professional picture, do not go ahead and take a shot of yourself at the gym or at the club or whatever, buy yourself a suit, go to the studio take a professional looking picture with a white background, Write a full history on what you have done in the past that might relate to the job you are applying for, Try different styles when applying to jobs, do not use a single style, be creative and random but precise and accurate.

Here’s Some of the Sites I use:

Freelancer.com

Upwork.com

Fiverr.com

and good luck 🙂

Hi there Ahmed,

First you need to understand that Sketchup doesn’t come with the “full package”
this means that out of the box it does not provide rendering support but if you go into plugins and install Vray or any other rendering plugin, that way you could start rendering your objects after choosing the material and lightening for the scene

The view manger can be found here on MAC:

You can create views by the standard V command on the command manger and then you can move to saved views using the top method

Dear americk

sometimes your installation gets corrupted which is why you might find some components missing,

first try to fix your AutoCAD installation

try to Uninstall and reinstall autocad and see if this fixes your problem

This is a great example of how you’d do that, also sketchup has a great feature:

“The warehouse”  where you can download already designed models of components to build your house, go ahead try it out :

https://3dwarehouse.sketchup.com/?hl=en

and what’s amazing is that it’s also accessible from within the program itself so that you can download objects directly inside your model.

Also when you are done looking through those amazing models>>>>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v_s7lpikWQU

Check this video out of how you can put stuff around your “Virtual house” good luck.

and congratulations 🙂

You first need to design a 3D Object by making a surface:
