Damon Design Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 ...a modeled classic 911 that is VectorWorks compatible that is. I'm working on a laundromat renovation in a funky beach neighborhood and our dream client-lots of properties, resources, straightforward and loves us (also a Porsche collector/racer)-is so enthusiastic about our equally funky VectorWorks produced design and rendering of the redesigned building that he wishes to print T-shirts of the rendering as a marketing tool. He loves my inclusion of the classic VW surf van in the parking lot but wants to change out the Subaru WRX wagon on the street in front (which is there because I have one) to a classic Porsche 911. As you all know-PLEASE THE DREAM CLIENT AT ALL COSTS! So... just wondering if there is something out there that someone knows about that I can use or a place to search. I know that I could probably photoshop one in but I'm not that skilled at photoshop to Vectorworks and back and forth. Thanks, Dude.... Quote Link to comment
billtheia Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 Take a look at Google 3D Warehouse: http://sketchup.google.com/3dwarehouse/search?q=porsche&btnG=Search&styp=m VW can import sketchup models. I'd recommend importing into a blank file first just so that you don't accidentally make a mess of your work. Good luck. Quote Link to comment
Damon Design Posted February 1, 2008 Author Share Posted February 1, 2008 (edited) Awesome! Great Idea- I should have thought of it myself. I haven't imported a sketchup model before and my quick try is thus far not quite working but I will keep pluggin away until it works. edit: I Import but nothing seems to happen-blank document Thanks Bill.

Tom G. Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 Note that when you import a Sketchup model, VW places it on a new, automatically generated layer. So look for that layer and check there before you give up. Your model may also come in on that layer as a one to one so the thing could be huge--your screen may happen to show the space between the wheel and the wheel well so select all and zoom to object.
