Only if I could figure out gmax, or is it possible to convert from Sketchup to gmax?

Your modeling abilities are way above mine....my model has taken about 5 hours... :P

And it doesn't even float... ;D

I don't know any of the controls so I'm lost in Gmax, that's one thing I liked about Sketchup very simple interface, and lots of video tutorials. ;D

yeah, Gmax/Max has a workflow of it's own... you have to do the tutorials to get the hang of it...

No, but it can export to .kmz so I can put the model in Google Earth, but not much else... :-[

You made a rough boat in 18 minutes? I have had SketchUp on my machine for a year and I can't draw anything. I have a model in my head for a plane I want to draw but can't get off Square One. It is said to be so easy, so intuitive, that a five year-old can use it. Well, not being five may be my problem. All I need is a fuselage; the rest can be done by another designer who is helping me with the design. I have the Dummies book, but get nowhere...
