Tile Materials in SketchUp?

[SketchUp Guru]

Is anyone interested in how to create tile materials in SketchUp?

Im just intrested in being able to use sketchup as well as some of you guys!!! All i want to do is design furniture, cant find any decent tutorials for it.

I can help you with that. Actually, take a look through the other blog entries where I did the tile blog. And, if you'd like, we can do a 'live' tutorial session, too.

the only tutorials i have found have been on you tube, and i only have the free version, is that adequate enough to design with?

 

[SketchUp Guru]

Yes, the free version is more than adequate.

how did you learn to use sketchup? is it just a case of trial and error??

I learned mostly by doing. I found it very intuitive, though. I started with it before all those videos were available (and before Google bought it). I've been spending a lot of time, though, trying to help other woodworkers get through the learning curve more quickly and easily than I did. I'd be willing to do it for you, too.

is a good place to start.

I think I watched the first 2 tutorials and then went for it.. But then I have used other 3d tools before.

"is a good place to start."

If you want to learn some poor practices.

Don't know. As I said I only watched the 2 getting started videos which gave me enough info that I didn't get frustrated trying to work out the controls
