Mesh making in SketchUp.

This is tutorial on how I make my vehicles in SketchUp. I hope this helps people out.

1. Create a triangle.

Example.

2. Make another triangle facing the other one.

Example.

3. Select the 2 triangles and go to edit/copy, then edit paste. Keep doing this until it's about 8-12 triangles total.

Example.

4. Use the move tool to select and move the horizontal/vertical edges to where you want them.

Example.

5. Select everything now and go to edit/copy, then edit/paste and move it to right above the original.

Example.

6. Select any row of horizontal edges and move them in any direction.

Ok, I have covered the basics of SketchUp polygon modeling.
