I've got several SketchUp stars in my neighborhood.
Trevor Blake did that purposely retro-looking version
of the Dymaxion House, while John Driscoll the architect
(another friend of Dr. Nick's), has used it to show
off his minimalist hexa-house.

Trevor's work:

Trevor also used SketchUp for the signature helicopter-
with-dome that's a kind of logo for synchronofile.com,
one of the most in-depth Bucky sites you're ever gonna
find on the Web.

Today, Friend Lew Scholl came further out of the woodwork
as a design science engineer. He's been using SketchUp
to doctor 3D buildings for uploading to Google Earth, has
several to his name, including the Quaker meetinghouse on
Stark Street.

But just recently, having taken a shine to one of Koski's
vZomes, he's ready to do some renderings of geometry in
pure principle (pre-frequency CH stuff, no geographic
component). He's already pretty far along, and today's
Wanderers' meeting was a lot about how to add a rhombic
triacontahedron to the mix.

I counseled building an icosahedron first, and sizing it
accordingly. Perhaps easier said than done.

Here's a write-up of said Wanderers meeting, with embedded
links to more pictures:
