SketchUp is great for individually studying options for building design. It is an awesome conceptual tool to be able to quickly model and manipulate a building to study different designs. It is not good for complex geometries, especially curves. Surfaces have a hard time registering and cutting ...
Reflected Ceiling Plans Reflected ceiling plans can be challenging to configure in SketchUp. In the book, you’ll learn how to use a dedicated template model to import your main building model into and prepare scenes just for reflected ceiling plans. ...
Another example of a design and visualization project is an aquarium in Newport, Rhode Island. It's a pretty small facility for an organization called Save the Bay. We worked on the design and retrofit of the existing building, but we also put together early concept renderings for them to u...
Sketchup is extremely useful for my company's work in acoustic analysis; we use it primarily for building models for CATT, which is a program for simulating the acoustic environments of spaces we design, such as concert halls and theaters. The extensions make it easy to import preexisting 3d...
This paper presents a method for building a 3D cadastral management system from survey plans with SketchUp. It concentrates on the geometric representation and topological consistent maintenance of 3D cadastral objects. In this system a complete topological model is built to express the body ...
I’m a building contractor, I used to use Sketchup for the basics, now I use the PlusDesignBuild plugin inside Sketchup to estimate all of my jobs and it’s changed the way I quote and build homes. As a builder, plan interpretation and client communication are the most important things ...
The Need for Plans SketchUp is a great way to generate and explore your designs in 3D. Though, at some point, your project may require you to leave the 3D space and generate a 2D output. As much as we love 3D representations of buildings, there is still a real need to present our ...
How to create a home plan for 3 storied villa in skethup How to apply camera key maker to produce smooth animation How to use sketchup to produce a model in Gazebo Learn the process for watermark rendering in sketchup How to create 3D walkthrough animation of a building in real time...
decisions today will be reflected tomorrow, on the axis, and beyond. Not only do we strive to build the best product for a robust workflow, but we want to celebrate everything that comes out of SketchUp - from design projects to community-building events and the great work our employees ...
you can see the completed illustration. What I like about this type of illustration is first, its vintage style. I also like how it shows off the form in a unique way, while also providing measurable information making it very functional. I used a very orthogonal building design for these ...
