GaryR50 Posted December 6, 2003 Share Posted December 6, 2003 Excellent presentation. Was the interior of the model also completed, or just the shell? I do modern home plans, myself, all modeled in SketchUp: www.modern-home-design.com Gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3D_IC Posted December 19, 2003 Share Posted December 19, 2003 I love the result! I've never ued sketch up, but i'm considering it as an additional software. Is it easy to use? Is the plan in the image a scan or an imported cad file? cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaryR50 Posted December 24, 2003 Share Posted December 24, 2003 It's the easiest (and quickest!) 3D modeler I have ever used. That's SketchUp's main strength is its simplicity and immediacy. You can start getting productive with it right out of the box, and there are video tutorials on the website and message boards full of helpful users, including the SketchUp team. Not only that, but there is a book ("The SketchUp Book," by Bonnie Roskes and Bob de Witt). You can import a plan view from any CAD software in DXF or DWG format. Then, to get walls, all you have to do is trace over the walls and extrude the resulting faces up to whatever height you want them. Easily cut holes for doors and windows, insert them, etc. I model all my home designs in this way, using floor plans I've drawn in Autocad as a template, and it typically takes no more than four hours or so before I have a completed model, ready to render.

Richard McCarthy Posted December 24, 2003 Share Posted December 24, 2003 yeh, I have some limited hands on experience with Sketchup as well now.. (after downloading the trial).. it's an excellent software, it's main strength is the 3D snapping feature, and you simply draws lines to form 2D polygon and then forming 3D polygon. Modeling simply couldn't be easier! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
