Introduction of Sketchup
This is my first class in civil talents in a day i am learning about sketch Up and which tools are used in sketch Up and the advantages of sketch Up.
Introduction of sketchup :
Sketch Up is a 3D modeling computer program for a wide range of drawing applications such as architectural, interior design, landscape architecture, civil and mechanical engineering, film and video game design.
Tools used in Sketch Up :
1.Line - It is the tool that effectively makes Sketch Up the simplest way to draw in three dimensions.
2.Eracer - The Eraser Tool is smart in that it doesn’t erase more than let it.
3.Rectangle - The Rectangle Tool can help manifest rigid forms that emulate real building materials at no time at all.
4. Orbit/Zoom/Pan-There’s only one viewport in Sketch Up, the drawing area. In order to make the most of it, you need to be able to move the camera around quickly.
5. Position Camera- The Position Camera Tool is extremely important when have been floating above the Sketch Up model at any number of positions that only birds typically have vantage points of.
6. Offset- With the Offset Tool, we can take the outer or inner edges of a given surface or line and establish a cloned version of that piece at a given distance from the original. Because the function of the tool relies heavily upon two axes at a time, like able to extend the surface with the line work.
7. Push/Pull-Push/Pull is like the guilty pleasure command of Sketch Up. It’s just too fun not to be used! Next to the Line Tool, it’s probably one of the most recognizable tools from the Sketch Up palette.
8. Follow Me- The Follow Me Tool effectively does the same thing as the Push/Pull Tool, but it extrudes a given shape along a connected in.
9. Paint Bucket- We select the color or texture and then simply select the faces that we want it to be placed on. Once selected, the faces will fill their entire surface with the texture we designated.
10. Make Group / Component- The Make Group command will allow we to combine multiple lines, surfaces and volumes into singular forms. Doing so allows to organize our model into a series of objects rather than a million tiny lines and surfaces.

Advantage of sketch up over Auto Cad 3D :
Sketch up is easier to use for 3D modeling. Auto CAD however is better for precision than Sketch up. Sketch up is very fast and easy for conceptual modeling, but it falls short when it comes to fine engineering. Also Sketch up's models do not consist of perfectly curvy, round or spherical surfaces.
