SketchUp 3D Challenge #226: Compass (Navigational)


Monday, 7 December 2015 - Sunday, 20 December 2015


The magnetic compass was invented early in the Chinese Han Dynasty about 2,200 years ago but not until the 11th century did the Song Dynasty adapt it for use in navigation. Its use continues today but GPS receivers and solid-state magnetic sensors in other electronic devices have largely replaced it.

For this challenge, you are to model a mechanical navigational compass of any known design or a design from your own imagination and should contain all the parts required for operation. Be careful not to get lost.
