    These drafted part diagrams were created in 1957 ... awesome. Thanks for digging this uo; it's a level of professionalism that I hadn't seen before.

    Absolutely love this presentation; first one I've seen. I will be watching more. I have learn't so much from Aaron. Only been using Sketch-up for 3 years, mainly for woodwork projects. Thank-you

    Sooooo happy you did this. As an areospace engineering student, almost done..cant wait, i love seeing SU used to model applications for engineering. Those working drawings are amazing. I think su needs to be used in egineering more. It has so much potentual. One thing i wpuld love to see, and i know it would up the cost, but it would be worth it. The ability to edit current dimenaions of an object and have it update the entire model. Ie, you change the radii of the base from 20mm to 17.5mm, and the rest of the base will update itself accorsingly. Thanks again
  • Good job guys. I am having a work to design a temporary pavilion based on constructivism movement and this definitely help.

    Lol, yeah last year DaveR sent me his begining stages of his lathe. I had just started using su for my engineering classes for 3d printing and dave helped me out. The three that have helped me alot are daveR, box, and another guy but i cant pronounce his name haha. To answer your question, those are bearings, just not ball-bearings. Some call them bushings or gromets. I used to have to machine them out of brass for gear boxes. For threads, never draw them in haha. Just call them out and let the machinist deal with it. BUT, if you are 3d printing, then you have to add them in SU....also, for drawings, you noticed not all holes were dimed, somewhere on that sheet it will say TYP next to a dim. Ie, TYP1.25R means any holes not dimed will be same dim as the one notated:)
  • Hi Aaron. Just watched this video for the first time today, and I have tried to find the PDF files that you found to model from. They no longer seem to be available for download from anywhere that you don't have to subscribe to (Scribd, for example). So, I was wondering, if you still have the PDF files, could you post them up on the forum, please?

    I don't know why, but the video starts at the 1h:56' and ends at 2h:00... :(

    The moral of the story is some projects could take long time, days & weeks. that is okay
