Sketching up an Airplane in 3D, Part 2

After doing some sketching with Google Sketchup 7 I find it wery handy to do 3D shapes.

To do more complex curves you need to load the spline library (Bezier Spline v 1.2) from the following link:

Download that and extract in the SketchUp Ruby plugins folder:

C:\Program Files\Google\Google SketchUp 7\Plugins

The following tutorials are also handy.

Normal 3D CAD packages usually can also handle creation of complex shapes.

The Ruby scripting language offers a method to parameterize some routine procedures.
