.STEP and .IGES ... I do not know if Sketchup can export to that format. If there's a plugin I can give it a try and model you one.
Thanks a lot. I spent 2 years in a 3D modeling and animation school after my development degree (real-time embeded systems for 2 years and 3D engines for 1 year).Awesome work, I'm really envious of people's ability to handle 3D software without going nutters.
This is where I am so far. Only have to model the heatsink and the fan.
This is based on pictures I got from reviews, so it might not be accurate to the millimeter. I used them as textures that I projected to base my 3D mesh on. It's accurate enough for rendering, but not enough to have a perfect alignment. I'd need the actual card or blueprints for perfect 3D modeling.Not to hijack the thread at all, but where did you find the measurements for the nano? I was going to wait until I have one to measure the fan placement & size from the PCI bracket, so I can re-do the side-panel in my cube to match. I would really appreciate it if you would be so kind as to provide some baseline measurements using the top of the PCI bracket as a reference point.

That's amazing work, I'd say upload it to GrabCAD or the like as it'd be a good resource for a lot of people.
Awesome work ! The community will be very grateful too !
