Free stage models for use with SketchUp

  • 1.  Free stage models for use with SketchUp

    Posted 04-22-2020 20:50

    For those of you learning SketchUp, or wanting to learn it, here are three stage models you can use. One is a proscenium stage, one is a thrust, and the third is a black box. These are simplified versions of stages I've designed for, and are accurate and ready to go. And they can be used with the free online version of SketchUp.

    If there's enough interest (say 8 – 10 of you), I can do a Zoom meeting next Thursday, April 30, to show you how to log on to the free version, set up a free account, open the files (which can only be opened in SketchUp), and navigate around the models. You can just let me know right here.

    Enjoy!

    George,
    I definitely need this.  Sketchup has been on my list of things I need to learn FOREVER.  Teaching myself has not worked, both due to time constraints (ha!) and my struggle with seeing things spatially.  If you get enough interest for a Zoom call, I'm interested.  If not, I'm going to download your stages and at least give it another honest try!
    Thanks!

    I'd love this!  My April 30th is booked pretty solid - strange in this day of "stay at home."  Any chance you can record your Zoom training and make it available for those who cannot attend?

    Thanks, George!

    I'd be happy to join this Zoom call too.  It seems like you have a lot of people who'd like this.  Can you let us know if this is still happening and if so what time you'd be available?

    Hi George,

    any chance you could post those three models again? I tried downloading them and the links are dead. I just decided to add Sketchup to my set design unit and came across this tread. 

    Thank you,
