JohnEDollar:
I think a "virtual arcade" would be a great idea!!

Perfect way to showcase all the great projects on the BYOAC site!

Let's do it!!!!  :cheers:

Want to use my build as a guinea pig?

Send pics (taken from as perpendicular to the surface as possible) of the art and maybe CP dimensons or anything else different.  Jpgs of any art would work instead of pics.  and a link to yr build thread.

Okay, I'll send you a PM later.  I leaned heavily on EvilNuff's sketchup model (I'll send a copy of that, too), so it should translate pretty well.

If this works out, maybe we can come up with a general guide for how to attach photos to a model for submission.  Wouldn't want Jimmy to be doing all the work here.

SammyWI:
Interested.  But my cab is modeled in Solidworks.  A quick look at Sketchup doesn't seem to show any filetype I can export to.  Any idea if Sketchup will import some of the industry standards like IGS or STEP files?

TopJimmyCooks:
It doesn't import any of those.  It's really a different thing than solidworks. For something as simple as an arcade cab, it's easier to redraw it the sketchup way than to clean up all the stuff that imports funny.   For anybody that has a cab that's Evo or woody based, or close to a Gozer model, an existing model can be modified well enough for a virtual arcade use in a matter of minutes.
