Create this AutoCAD table lamp drawing from an image. In this tutorial I will discuss the techniques used to accurately generate a CAD elevation of this Mek Elek table lamp from the machine age.
In this quick tutorial I will explain how to create a 3d model lamp in Google Sketchup using an imported Autocad base drawing. This tutorial will cover the general concepts of modelling in Sketchup rather than focusing on specific tools.
Although Bryce does have some 3D modelling tools, they are a little basic. Also, building accurate 3D models in Bryce is difficult. If you need to build an accurate 3D model, you're much better off using an application specifically designed for this purpose such as AutoCAD. Models built in AutoCAD can easily be imported into Bryce where they can be given an appropriate setting. The bonus is that Bryce has a much better renderer than AutoCAD and much better control over materials.
