My first sketchup drawing
After about 10 hrs I have my first drawing.

Thank you to everyone who responded to my original "How do I make this 3D?" thread ... your guidance has helped me get to this point.

Looks good. However, it appears the boat is floating in air.

It's an air boat.




Might be it's supposed to be on a lift and he didn't draw the lift or have the graphic.

It's on an imaginary boat lift.

I am having to manually draw most of the specialized accessory pieces that go into our docks. Boat lifts are one of those accessories I have yet to draw.

New drawings
Here are a couple new ones. Bare with me, still learning. Have not tried to do anything with 3rd party rendering engines yet. Not sure if I am at that level right now.

You need to start hiding your edge lines, it will make the drawing a lot more appealing did you see the rendering I did in your other thread?
I'll post it again, the drawing is just a generic 45 min drawing.
