Just started playing with sketchup today, tell me how my cab looks so far?

(1/3) > >>

Arc Kalocal:
Never used a CAD before, but I'm trying to build my own cabinet in sketchup so I'll have an easier time figuring out the dimensions I need for my cutouts. Can any of you critique what I have so far? Be brutal. Bottom half of cabinet is pretty much finished. I'm also looking for suggestions on a good angle for the monitor, not really sure if there's a standard. I'm going to be using a 29" widescreen monitor and its a 4P cab.

Got a jpeg of that?

Arc Kalocal:
Here you go

I think you will have issues with 4 people playing on that CP.  With a straight across cut such as you have, your requiring all four people to effectively stand side by side.  Depending on the size of the screen, the outermost players may also be looking directly at the bezel.  My suggestion would be to look at some of the successful commercial four player games (Gauntlet for example) and try to model your CP in a similar fashion.   

Of course, I would suggest a two player over a four player as the logistics of it are a lot easier (including monitor layout).

I did try modeling the CP a bit after TMNT Turtles in Time. It's a 36" CP while the one I drew up is 42". I thought 42" would be plenty but I could certainly be wrong.

Just finished with the top half now, going to edit my posts with the newer cab.
