Thing with Sketchup is, you don't know how many polys it has (that I remember, was a while ago that I tried it out). Going by how it uses curves, I'm guessing a very high amount. I think using collision models as a wireframe based off of the actual model would be waay better than using spheres or any other shape. Not sure how hard that would be to do though.

well ive been having trouble scaling the model in blender, but ive managed to change the sketchup file into an importable format for blender :D

if someone could have a crack at scalling it into mxs scale it would make it so much easier to finish and test the ramp.

plus ive found and downloaded a poly reduction utility so i could eventually run the model through and see the results.

if anybodys up to it heres the real dimentions:

height: 8ft 2inches

length: 23ft

width: 4ft

and the file:

and to get the model into blender go to, import collada 1.40 , then find the file and click import and close

i found that out when i imported the model into blender.

about 62000 polys, but i was suprised when i decided to save it as blender file, only to find that the blender format turned it from 62000 to 180000

You'd probably want to get that down to about 50 faces, 100 max

Two things yomo other than it looks pretty good. First, I already made a semi. That might save you some valuable skinning time. Second, you don't really need the floor under the canopy. Wasted faces.

That looks sexy Luiz. The only thing I see is that the tree holder(clamp holder) is a little too large.
