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.

Re: My First Sketchup Drawing
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. .

 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.

Re: My First Sketchup Drawing
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.

Re: My First Sketchup Drawing
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.
