3D Challenge #037 - Air traffic control tower


Note: Please read the guidelines for participating in the challenge. The purpose of the challenge is to have fun and bring SketchUp users together and help each other learn and get better at using our favorite 3d modeling program. We will remove comments that are objectionable or offensive.

This week's challenge:

Air traffic control tower

From the viewpoint of organization, an airport is a complicated structure. There are a lot of different flows which needs to be managed, like people, luggage, cargo and of course the airplanes themself. The airplanes are managed by the air traffic control (ATC). These people control all the airplanes on the ground and the flying planes in a certain range around the airport. Although they use a lot of digital information, the primary method of controlling the immediate airport environment is by visual observation. For this task almost every airport has a recognizable air traffic control tower. For this challenge we're going to create such a tower for the air traffic controllers. Of course it needs to be high enough to see the largest part of the airport and has to have a lot of windows for a 360 degrees view around the tower. All the other parts of the design are free to choose.

Good luck ALL!

  1. General notes:

    From this challenge and in the future, there will no obligation for a blog entry anymore. It is still allowed to post a link to your model or additional images, but it is not required anymore to submit a model to the challenges. The 3D Warehouse tag is still required though and should be added when uploading a model to the Warehouse.

    You can use the hyperlink code creater on the frontpage of the blog to create the code for a hyperlink in your message. Copy this code and paste it in the comment box on the place where your want the hyperlink to be.

    Challenge suggestions are welcome to be placed on the blog. Items will be noted and compiled on the moderator’s list. At that point, the initial comment for the suggestion may be deleted so as to maintain a streamline challenge thread for use of posting entries for the challenge and comments to models. Challenge suggestions have always been welcomed and taken under consideration.

    Good luck with the challenge...

  2. I'm sorry if i made things a bit confusing by adding the tag for the previous challenge to 2 nonsubmissable models:
    TakeMS MEM-Drive Easy USB Stick 512 MB
    A-Data PD14 USB stick 1GB
    These are not valid submissions as they were made months ago,i've only wanted to showcase them as they were related to the challenge's theme, sorry guys.
