SketchUp Sketchup Components Collection (SCC) Discussion

Hi, Thanks jezmck. I can put holes in things but to get the fan hole and the 4 screw holes in the right place and to repeat the process several times is a pain.
Is there a way to do it quicker?

 

Hey Jez here is something I whipped up in Illustrator and Photoshop. Comment welcome.

About your image size issue...why not just set one size frame you want and fit the image in it even if it cuts the image like what I did on the case pic above. I think they will figure it out that that is what they are looking for. I'll try to make a mock up with two rows of images.

Hi

This is my new model:


It's a GeForce 8500GT from XFX with the 7600GT Fatal1ty passive heatsink.
A little strange but if you delete the heat-pipes and the fins you'll get a standard 8500GT.

Link for the SKP

And Jez, please add this item.


PS. Good work at the new collection site layout! . I enjoyed the Macpro grid style as banner.

 

ohh. this looks really good but.. what's wrong with the current site? i find it really nice and comfortable to use

 

Jez, i had a think about the div/list problem, and came up with this idea:

assuming you are dynamically generating content (of course you are!) you could have a div for every two items, and some king of margin on its two sub elements, thus making each 'row' appear the same height.

Code:

<ul>
	<li><div>item 0</div><div>item 1</div></li>
	<li><div>item 2</div><div>item 3</div></li>
	<li><div>item 4</div><div>item 5</div></li>
	<li><div>item 6</div><div>item 7</div></li>
</ul>

hope that makes sense.

 

i must say that it looks awesome!

jez, i really think you should make scc in a theme/skin/template (or whatever it's called) like that, it look's very prof. and somehow quiet clean?

 

Absolutely nothing. Still the best site ever. Just did it for fun. Jez if their is any element you need....you got it.


Did one up displaying multiple file and images. Added graphics to the left and right menu bars.

I did the header in red, blue and green. Done in SU then rendered in KT.




I'm starting to get comfortable with KT.

Excellent idea, still not quite as semantic as I hoped for, but definitely "has legs".

 

I was looking for this 8500GT (without this heatsink). Thanks

 

/me like scoobs designs

 

Scooby... Srry, I don't like. Or: I do like but not for SCC. It looks great, bit it is too dark and too High-Tech. Why not something a bit more... professional. Yk?

 

Thanks for the comments guys. Like I said this was just done for fun to explore the possibilities. This by no means is anything final. Jez has the last word on that.

@Aterius Gmork, I've been on a bit of a techie theme after a few projects I've done lately and yes, it may be a little dark. I'll try a few more designs and I'll try to make it more professional for ya. BTW whats "Yk?".

 

Yk means "you know". Now yk.

 

Yk, I've never actually thanked you guys for the wonderful, accurate models which I use to bring my insane creations to life...

In fact, I might just have a go at making a few models to contribute... do I just email them to jezmck?

 

I've got a submission form as part of the contact page.

Total cheesecakey awesomeness.

 

how about adding a tutorial section? i'd love to learn how to make hoses and lightning in SU + rendering properly in KT

 

Hi everyone,

Im new to the sketch up and was woundering if their was an ANTEC P180 case that i can download so i can plan my watercooling system?

Many thanks

 

Hey hux19, I think someone was working on that somewhere. Have you checked HERE. I haven't gone through them all but it's a good start ahh!


HTH, Scooby

 

Hi guys, this is my first model I've done of a component, I know some bits need work but would like to know what you think and whether there is anything you feel should be added or have any tips to make it better.

Like I said, this is my first so please be gentle!
