Thanx Jason, I never heard of vectoring files before.
looks good! I still need to build one of these...but then I need to build a bunch of stuff...just not enough time.I took the pdf files from mikeysrc.com of the FPV v3 and pieced them together in Photoshop. Then I imported the resulting image into SketchUp and created this from the plans. I'm working on importing it into RC Desk Pilot so I can fly it in there. Fun project.

Great job mrgravey, tell us more. Many places have started articles on drawing with SketchUp but never followed through. Any help in directions or upload any parts would be a realy blessing.
Thank you for the kind words. It's community support that drives me to make these tutorials.I learned what I could from videos on YouTube. The best by far are from Jason(?) here. Still looking forward to the finish on that series.... It does a great job of teaching the bulk of the needed functions.
If you go under Window->Model Info->Units you can set the precision up to 1/64" and set the length snapping to that as well. That should give you finer control.EDIT:Seeing as how I still have this page loaded hours later with no replies I'll seek some help myself. Does anyone know if you can change a setting or something to get to smaller measuerments? 1/16" is too restrictive sometimes.
Also, is there a way to move things and snap to the grid better? For example, if you are tracking out these plans from FT sometimes the lines on the image don't match up with the grid, so the spot you want can't be hit because ti jumps to the next 1/16" mark.
