Hey, I made a sketchup tutorial with many screenshots, on how to make the main body of a plane. I was going to make the tutorials for the rest but i am having problems modeling the thing that holds the wings. It is done in MS word but I can't fnd a way to quickly put 21 images into this post. I tried Imageshack but putting them all in takes ages, and it's easy to make a mistake, so I'm giving you screenshots of it:







If anyone has an idea how to publish it here, that would be great! Or if anyone thinks this is helpful, maybe the wiki is the place? But i think it is not good enough for wiki because the tutorial actually expects you to know SketchUp a little.

Thanks, Swindel

I think this is good enough for the wiki, Because I know how to make buildings in SketchUp, but I didn't know how to make planes, and I think this tutorial could realy help!

Maybe if you did a tutorial on how to make simple buildings aswell, then from that people could gain the skills to move onto this tutorial.

I will try making a plane following this tutorial soon!

Thanks,
Hovkid

@ arthur: Um, english may not be your first language but, what?

@ hovkid: I don't see what you mean, because a building, draw a square, pull it up and voila.

english is my first language,
there is a tool in Sketchup called the follow me tool (how u make a sphere) same sorta thing tbh

[F22-killed-you]

Follow Me tool isn't that good for modeling planes, imo.

[Arthur Maiden]

no but it can be with trained hands, and it makes some funky shapes

Um... mind making the images bigger? Because I can't see much of anything in these screenshots...

[F22-killed-you]

I would make it a PDF, but I don't see the download link. Is it up yet?

Thank you for this tutorial -- it looks great.

[Quadunit404]

Yeah, I don't see the download link either.

Also, I use OpenOffice.org, which is not only compatible with Microsoft's proprietary document formats but can also export to .PDF. Maybe you could send me the download link to this and I can export it to a .PDF for those without Microsoft Office/OpenOffice?
