Sketchup 3D models

As I'm learning to use Google's Sketchup 3D, I was wondering if anybody in the EP network has made any EP related components that they could share I'm planning on having hab, vehicles and weapons models, but those are still a bit (or a lot) beyond my skills at the moment

SketchUp is a very useful tool... I use it a lot, although not so far for EP.

I'm using it to build rough visual to help me describe places for the story I'm writing Also got a quasi-Reaper (the morph, not the planet killer) in the work, but it's quite basic stuff like rotation is giving me trouble and frustration

Sometimes adding an unattached reference line helps... you just use the line as the "baseline" to locate the rotation on. Oh, and make anything you can a component.
