Rogers Posted June 11, 2009 Report Share Posted June 11, 2009 ok so im trying to learn how to build boxes on ketchup and its not really lookin that great.... i built an enclosure and it looks fine but definately not like the ones ive seen on here... the walls are paper thin and i cant get the measurements exact.... they are always a fraction off.... i started by making a rectangle and used the pushpull to make it the correct height..... am i doing this wrong.... can anybody tell me how to do this? or is there a tutorial for making subwoofer enclosures on sketchup?

LordArcane Posted June 11, 2009 Report Share Posted June 11, 2009 ok cool... i see how to do that now... how do i build the vertical walls? do i build them to the side and then move them? or buld them on the bottom piece? im trying to piddle around with it but im not getting very far... what i do for side walls is just build the 2d (paper thin) wall going up the push/pull it to the thickness i want or build the outline on the base of the box to lenght and thickness and pull it up to the height i want this way doesn't work for angled side peice tho, for angle i use the first way and just build the wall up to its height and thickness and pull it to the lenght i need, i'm sure theres a better way of doing it, i know you can build peice and move them into place i think i just never figured out how to do it yet i'm kinda in same boat as you still learning what all i can do with it and figuring stuff out but i how i can be of atleast a little help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rogers Posted June 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2009 ok im figuring it out... but its got me pissed now... ive got the bottom piece and 3 sides but when i do the fourth side it completes the box by putting a top piece on it for me, so i erase the top piece and try to push pull the fourth side and it just sucks that piece into the box 3/4" instead of making the wood thick.... plus when i try to make the top piece it put its on the inside of the walls instead of letting me place it on top of the box... it wont let me make it 30 x 35 Quote http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/79921-rogers-700-dream-car-update-page-17-a-wall/?p=2335774 93 Saturn SC2My system4 SA-15's Walled 2 Cerwin-Vega S2000's 3 Kinetik Hc2000's Dual 200amp alts. you guys done with the peepee touching contest or do I need to end it?
