Google SketchUp!
For a number of our projects, particularly in the 3-D design course, we will be using Google SketchUp to design our creations! Take some time to familiarize yourself with the following functions:
- Rectangles
- Changing views - Push/pull - Using dimensions - Navigation tools (orbit, pan, and zoom) - Moving - Follow me - Components |
- Lines
- Erasing - Selecting - Large tool set - Offset tool - Tape measure tool - Colour/Texture |
If you are not familiar with how to do any of the functions listed above, you can ask me how to do these functions, or visit the Google SketchUp tutorial site at: http://www.sketchup.com/intl/en/training/videos.html
