Sketchup Stadium Making

[davidthecornman]

I was wondering if any one here uses google sketchup. I use it to make stadiums. I am very good at it and was wondering if anyone here uses it.

there are threads about this already, I make some as well. I think you should post pictures of some of yours.

go to the 3d warehouse on google sketchup and put davidthecornman. Then you will find my stadiums. also what is your name on the 3d warehouse.

Can you post some of them on this site? I'm sure there are plenty who'd like to see them while still being able to stay here.

I've messed around with it. I'm not very good with it but's a lot of fun.

Here's one of mine, it's not finished yet....

I 'borrowed' the playing field from somebody cause I couldn't figure out how to do that.

Another more important question cause it's driving me nuts is how do I make solid surfaces for the stands without having these diagonal lines connecting the corners like below?

I never figured out a way to do it either. I guess it's just the way the program works.

[davidthecornman]

you have to use the follow me tool and follow the edge of the field.

If your lines at the edge of the field and at the top of the stands are parallel it will all be one solid face.

Here's a link to the thread regarding sketchup before - http://www.baseball-fever.com/showthread.php?t=48980&highlight=sketchup&page=8 - there's a couple of stadiums I made on there as well as some stuff from other users on this site.

This should really just be combined with the other thread(s).

Seriously could you post pictures here so that people who don't have sketch up can see?

[davidthecornman]
