smorales02 Posted October 3, 2008 Posted October 3, 2008 so I gave up on the pool table for the mean time and decided to go with a simple poker table....I have my table top together now just need help putting in the holes for cup holders...the circles seen are not sketchup circles but copied acad objects which in turn turns them into many line segments... How would I go about drawing holes in the table at these locations?? Thank you Quote
ReMark Posted October 3, 2008 Posted October 3, 2008 Isn't press/pull used for making holes in an object? Quote
smorales02 Posted October 3, 2008 Author Posted October 3, 2008 yes, but I cant seem to get the actual circle drawn in the right place...since the circles I have are actual line segments I cannot snap to center to redraw circles in SU...So im trying to figure out how I can draw those circles in the correct location than use pree/pull to go through table.. Does that make sense....???? Quote
ReMark Posted October 3, 2008 Posted October 3, 2008 The AutoCAD circles (now a bunch of line segments) messed you up, huh? Now you want to substitute SU circles in their place, right? And SU has no means of accurately doing that? What's up with the measuring tape at the top of your screen? Can't we measure to/from something? Quote
smorales02 Posted October 3, 2008 Author Posted October 3, 2008 Thats exactly waht happen.. What im thinking of doing is going into my cad file and gett the measurments from edge of table to center of circle and trying it that way...just as you mentioned...ill see how it goes.... Its the learning curve of a new software that messes me up... Quote
ReMark Posted October 3, 2008 Posted October 3, 2008 Wish I could be of more assistance but I only dabbled in SU a short while when it first came out. Haven't had the opportunity to go back and delve deeper. Good luck with your poker table. Quote
smorales02 Posted October 3, 2008 Author Posted October 3, 2008 managed to get it...here is the table top with a couple things still to do...Now going to start on the legs Quote
ReMark Posted October 3, 2008 Posted October 3, 2008 Excellent! Now there really needs to be a NY Giants logo in the middle of the table to add some real class to it! LOL Quote
smorales02 Posted October 3, 2008 Author Posted October 3, 2008 There would be no point on making a table if your going to put a NY Giants logo on it....lol... Quote
smorales02 Posted October 3, 2008 Author Posted October 3, 2008 As a cowboys fan I have to root agains NY... Hey do you know of a free rendering software to make my models more ralistic looking? Quote
ReMark Posted October 3, 2008 Posted October 3, 2008 Free? Hmmm...not really although I think that just came up recently (can't recall the thread). Try a search. I think you'll come across a couple of threads that might help. My son is a Cowboys' fan. A little rivalary never hurt on a Sunday afternoon. Quote
smorales02 Posted October 3, 2008 Author Posted October 3, 2008 Ok will do..thanks for the help. very good kid you have there.. Quote
smorales02 Posted October 3, 2008 Author Posted October 3, 2008 Think I found one, going to give it a try when I get home. Still got stuff to do on the SU model http://www.idx-design.com/ Quote

f700es Posted October 3, 2008 Posted October 3, 2008 Here is an example... http://www.cadtutor.net/forum/showthread.php?t=23297 Quote
smorales02 Posted October 6, 2008 Author Posted October 6, 2008 Have you use IDX?? In your opinion is kerkythea better/easier to work with.... I am very new at rendering stuff so im trying to find the easiest one to learn on...eventually I will purchase a rendering program, but for my learning I would like to keep it free. Does Kerkythea work inside SU or is it a seperate program?? Quote
f700es Posted October 6, 2008 Posted October 6, 2008 No, I have not tried IDX, yet. Kerky is run outside SU. Quote
f700es Posted October 6, 2008 Posted October 6, 2008 IDX... Kerky... I messed with no settings in either. I just hit render. Quote
