Sketchup Help Needed

[tkropp17]

I'm venturing into making a cab with a 50" LED screen mounted vertically and need help making an outline. I've been working in photoshop to make the outline, but i'm running into some roadblocks and need help with making it work.

Thanks!

What kind of roadblocks?  Help us help you?

Essentially, I was making the attached in photoshop, then I turn it into a PDF and take it to FedEx to print an outline. I've done this with a few other things. However, I'm trying to fit in a 50" TV this time and make it look good lol. The TV is 44" tall when vertical, the top 8.5" are black space, the next 24" is playable area, followed by 11.5" of black space.

Your best bet is to create something using SketchUp.  Here's a great example of how another member planned out his cab with that tool:  http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php/topic,141562.0.html

It will save you a lot of frustration in the long run and you can "virtually" see if everything fits before building it.

I've tried sketchup and I guess I have to read some tutorials on it or something. I didn't get how to use it. Thanks for the advice.
