woman in a wheelchair ...
I am a first time user (use to autocad and solidworks).

I am trying to design a custom house for my wife and I (just bought property ... planning to build in a few months).

My wife is paralyzed and confined to an electric wheelchair.

I found almost the exact chair ...

http://sketchup.google.com/3dwarehouse/detail...6a4605937&prevstart=0

I tried to put a woman sitting in it but had a bunch of problems.

It would be nice if there was a person in a chair in the library.

If someone can do this, please just e-mail me and I can send dimensions the chair and person should be ( heck, even a picture of my wife .... she would be thrilled to have a characture of her in the house ).

Thanks .... Mike

Mike,

There are several sitting women in the Sketchup Warehouse.
I'm not sure about the likeness with your spouse.

Thanks. I found several sitting woman but the problem has been getting one to "fit" into the chair properly. I guess I just need to figure how to manipulate the figure so it sits in the chair.

Thanks so much again!!!!

Mike

Mike,

Reading the User's guide might be an option?
Check the box of Keep proportions helps when resizing complex objects.
