class notes 4/14

Sketchup

Here is a link for some sketchup tutorials (and another). You can download both Google Earth and Sketchup for free to work on at home with!


window->instructor is very important!

ctrl+z or undo works here to undo any actions!

the orbit tool is very important, it lets you alter your angle and viewpoint to do certain activities

with paint bucket tool you can add different colors or textures to the object

window->components allows you to add readymade objects--you can also find ones from the internet that other sketchup users have made, and put them in or modify them

to scale an object down or up, select the object with the black arrow, then hit S or use the scale tool!

Downloading ground from google earth and uploading your component to google earth can be done with the google earth logo and a yellow down/orange up arrow:

if you ever get lost or lose sight of your components, click on the "zoon extants" button:
