SketchUp 3D Challenge #238: Da Vinci Inventions

Challenge Period: Monday, 23 May 2016 - Sunday, 5 June 2016


Leonardo da Vinci was not only a painter, a sculptor, an architect, a writer, a poet and a scientist, but, also an inventor. His wide variety of interests and knowledge made him a polymath; a person who draws from complex bodies of knowledge to solve specific problems.

For the purposes of this challenge, you are to pick one of Leonardo da Vinci's inventions and bring them to life as a 3D model in SketchUp. Have fun and unleash your inner Renaissance man (or woman)!

SketchUp 3D Challenge #237: Transportation Tunnel


Challenge Period: Monday, 9 May 2016 - Sunday, 22 May 2016


Transportation tunnels are often made for rail lines and roadways where above ground alternatives are not feasible or simply unwanted.

While it may sound daunting for a 3D Challenge, SketchUp has all the tools you need for such a project. And while you don't need to model an entire tunnel, it is important that you model at least one entrance into the tunnel and a sizable length of tunnel. You may model an existing tunnel or one of your own design.
