Class Demo: SketchUp

Today we began learning how to use the different tools featured in SketchUp. It is a simple to use software that is very powerful in being able to quickly create both 2-d and 3-d digital sketches. I believe that having and knowing how to use this program will be a valuable tool when creating preliminary designs or studies for studio projects in the future. My favorite part of today's demo was the Add Location tool found on SketchUp, which brought in Google Earth imagery and "warped" that image into the topographic forms found at that location.
