BUILDING 3D CHAIR MODELS IN THE 'FRIEDRICH PUB' STYLE WITH SKETCHUP ! Simple design and practicality, this is now my motto. I would like to share the simple steps of modeling a few chairs in the 'Friedrich Pub' style. I hope enjoy this tutorial and find it useful in the 3D model construction. I am a furniture manufacturer and have a tendency towards modeling furniture. Everything I do is my interpretation of what I see. Of course, SketchUp has made the process relatively easy now that I have learned to master the 3D modeling process of SketchUp and you can also if you follow my instructions. 'How did you make it?' is a question I am often asked about my 3D modeling work. My answer is always, 'It's never been as simple as it is now with Google SketchUp!'
