Please help with our OSU commuter accessory design research!!
Hello! So I am an industrial design student at Ohio State University. This quarter's project revolves around bicycle accessories. What better place to get some great primary research than a bike forum?
My professor has set up this activity, and it should be very interesting to you, and extremely helpful to me and my class.
What this entails is answering a couple of questions about your riding preferences and desires. Then you will use a new free program called Google SketchUp to alter a pre-modeled file based on some guidelines. I have all of the files right here so you don't have to go track down SketchUp.
File 1: The instruction file (MS Word document)
https://dl.getdropbox.com/u/492911/Di...eFileBikes.doc
File 2: The SketchUp file that you will work with (.skp file)
https://dl.getdropbox.com/u/492911/BikeStuff1.skp
File 3: The Google SketchUp application file
https://dl.getdropbox.com/u/492911/GoogleSketchUpWEN.exe
I promise there are no viruses or anything. Oh, and don't bother to update to the newest version of SketchUp when it prompts you. Once you are done, just send me the word document with your responses and the new SketchUp file attached. My email is rwgtrmn@hotmail.com. Remember, it doesn't have to be perfect, and as long as you are conveying your point, its great for us! Also, don't hesitate to email me with any questions you might have, or simply post them here.
Thank you so much for your time, we really appreciate your input!
