Designing stages with Google Sketchup

Some guys on Enos were talking about putting stages together and a few requested someone to put together a video on how to put a stage up in Sketchup.

Well, I was bored at work last night () and decided to do just that.

There is no narration, nor are there any annotations but you should get the jest of it. Basically I use two files, a blank berm file and a file full of props. I copy what I need onto the blank berm file and go from there.

If you guys have any questions, please feel free to ask.

You are the man! I was actually planning on emailing you and asking you how to do it.

Beat me to the punch.

Hope it helps!

Now that is impressive!!

Thanks.

By the way, I'm happy to share my files (both the blank berm and the prop file) with anyone. Just PM me your email and I'll send them.

nevermind.

I left a post that said the video didn't work but it turns out it was my internet connection. Do you use a certain template? How do you get the targets and walls and such?

that is awesome. cool video man

Great video spanky. I'm gonna have to give that a try. Looks like fun.

Kinda wished I didn't see this thread. a new hobby has been started like i needed another one. Learning to use the controls on the program is tricky at first, but i'm learning fast. New stages coming up.
Spanky, if you want to share some stages, email them to me and I might use at our matches. Our star aint ready yet, so skip them for now.

Ive spent many hours at work designing stages.

Check the stage design forum on brianenos. Ive posted most all of them there.

I'll go look thanks.

Good job spanky. That's pretty neat.
