    Here is a short tutorial that will show you one way to do pockets using SketchUp's offset tool in combination with the center-line tool in SketchUcam.

    Thanks Buk :) I am really liking the screenr screen cap program
    You can see how to use it here: viewtopic.php?f=99&t=3508
    The only thing that stinks is the time limit, but in a way its nice in that it makes me get the point across a little quicker :D

    Thanks Chris :) and thanks for the very cool pocketed plane pic we used for the announcement :oops:
    BTW I talked to a guy who just got a Phlatprinter MK1 and he is going to try out your gopro/slowstick mount for his 5 slow sticks! His buddys are really into the slowsticks,
    Great job on that brother thank you :good:

    ANyone else having problems getting the video to play? I tried at work with a Win7 machines & Chrome/Firefox, and at home with a WinXP FF/Chrome and a Ubunto w/ FF. Every time it makes it to 32 seconds and quits.
    In IE. it hangs and throws an exception error.

    It played at least through the first minute for me, then I stopped it.
    I'm on Vista with IE.

    I'm on Win7/Fireox and it didn't even start for me. Seems like Mark is using a new embedded video player. Should go back to youtube.

    Thanks for letting us know this Dave. I am running win7/chrome and its working on my machine Trish is running the same without a problem. I did not try it on the others yet but will report if I find anything out on this.
    P.S. this also allows you to share to youtube, which is great. So I will be pushing them there as well.
    Mark and Trish

    Oh, just saw the front page. That's not my Yak, Mark. Close but mine is different in quite a few ways. Or did you just mod it?

    pocketing is now built into SketchUcam so I'm not sure this tut is all that useful anymore.

    Do you know of a tutorial showing SketchUcam laying out pockets, milled areas, and beveled hinges. I am all new to this stuff, and need to learn it ASAP. I can model in 3D no problem, making it work in Gcode... it's a problem.
