Ultimate Sketchup Template Compilation

[Fusion]

The sandbox link isn't working for me.

If you hover over and click on the "Ultimate Sketchup Template" title in the OP, it will take you to the Filefront link where the file is being hosted. It works, I just tried it again.

You sir, are a genius. Congrats on a job well done.

I haven't read the entire thread....but I just downloaded sketchup a few weeks ago and have been playing around with it. creating speaker boxes, a model of my apartment building, just random things. I find 3D modeling very interesting and fun.
this is awesome, as I just bought the mythic map pack and am always thinking of maps and design when I can't use the Xbox (fiancé watching bachelorette, or something like that) so now I can plan effectively with this tool.
Thank you so much. It's great to see communities come together and share with others with similar interests!

I wish I found this sooner.
I just remaid a map in foundry that took hours on the xbox and did it in 20 minutes.
This is a great way to test concepts and placement......every person who enjoys forgeing their own maps should be using this tool for idea creations, design testing, and anything else. I can't thank the contributors enough!

wow, this is really great! I wish I could actually use it though since it took took 10 minutes to load the program and the file. Also it lags whenever I want to move an object. (I seriously want to chuck this computer out the window). But if I could use it I would definitately make maps on this first.

Are there any 2d Sandbox editors out there?

I'm playing around with sketchup and I found a way to remove part of the Crypts wall so I can actually see the whole Crypt without going outside of its walls. I did it by accident. Does anyone now how to do this?

You can select any piece and hide it, including the walls of the Crypt (the sand dunes are hidden by default. Don't unhide that unless you have a really powerful computer). You either deleted it (Ctrl+Z for undo) or you hid it.

I pulled the wall off like an object and was able to move it around independently than the Crypt. I was even able to place it down and later move it again. I haven't been able to recreate it, but I suppose hiding it will work. Thanks Squid.


Edit: I figured it out. Zoom in near the Crypt. Then, Double-click the Crypt so it's selectable. Then use the move/copy tool and select the Crypt and voila the Crypt is split in two now. Note: if you did it wrong the whole sandbox template will move.

If done right it will look like this:

Now, this isn't going to be a "how do I use sketchup" tutorial. There are plenty of great tuts available elsewhere. This is meant for people who are already familiar with using sketchup and like to use these templates for concocting ideas. I'll try and help out where I can, but I'm not gonna teach you how to use it.

I know you've posted Google's video tuts and all, but honestly they are not helping me. I'm a complete nub at this. How the hell do you access the components that come with this sketchup template?

Superthx to Liz for this.

Edit: Of course as soon as I post this after an hour of frustration, I figure it out. God...sorry. *Failure*

I thought the google tutorials were awesome to help understand the basics of the program.
Start from the first one, try it, then move on, ect ect....

Thanks again for the model!
I'm usig it now to model a map a friend and I want to build....
