Here you can find the description of what exactly it is and all of the legal information.

Building in Google SketchUp

This post documents my first experiences in Google SketchUp 8

Here, I am watching the instructional videos for beginners on the reference page

Here, I was experimenting with the push/pull tool

Although you can't tell, here I am using "infering" to make sure my parallel edges are the same length

In this picture, and the one following, I am experimenting with the "move" function, which lets you slant the sides

Here is the start (and finish, below) to my first chair... which is really more of a bench...

Installed Google SketchUp

I successfully installed Google SketchUp 8!

Team MAG: Group Project

Mike, Allison, and I worked together in EMMS to create a detailed Apollo A7L Spacesuit.  We put together a detailed written tutorial as well as a 3 part video tutorial on how to create the suit.  Here are some screenshots from the process:

I couldn't  find this poll on the site today, but I had taken it before.

EMMS - Land: Terraforming

Here is a shot of me attempting to terraform.  I didn't want to mess anything up to much so I did a little raising, lowering, flattening, and roughing on one spot here:

EMMS - how to deal with annoyances

I could not find/deal with many of these annoyances.  It seems our menu bar is a little different.  I did, however, find the option to stop animations!
