Protocol
- To generate 3D CAD for mechanical devices, use stock parts found in the Warehouse.
- See Sketchup Tutorial 1 and Sketchup Tutorial 2.
- Start a new Sketchup document.
- Copy objects from the Warehouse file, and paste into your new Sketchup document.
- Rotate and arrange objects to create your complete design.
- Use RecordMyDesktop with full voice quality and 10% video quality to record a video overview of the design and features - this communicates the design most readily to others for review. At 10%, rendering is almost immediate for a 1 minute video. You can use higher video quality.
- Upload the CAD file and video walkthrough to a wiki page named Machine Name CAD Design
