Was your cab created with Sketchup? Get in here!

One day, someone will make a version of Sketchup that doesn't make me feel like this after 5 minutes...

Well I'm no sketchup wizard, but my advise is the always work with flat surfaces and then extrude (they call it "push/pull") and to always type in your measurements manually.

I'm embarrassed to say I've made a career out of working for 3D professionals (architects, engineers, and now in a VFX studio), and I still can't use 3D CAD to save myself.

All my cab designs are done in LibreCAD (used to be called QCAD, but LibreCAD is a new fork and now better maintained project)

Good enough for what I need (and means I can get away with being a complete CAD spaz).

Great advice.   When I started doing those two things Sketchup became a lot less frustrating.   :cheers:

I designed my Tron cabinet with Sketchup.  I built the basic cabinet myself and then "borrowed" parts from other models such as the joysticks and coin door.  Gozer's (KLOV) models are fantastic.
