Unit 07: SketchUp

For this unit, we learned how to use and implement many different tools and effects found on the SketchUp program. Some of these included the simple and easy to use push/pull, line, and move tools. I used these primarily to construct the house found on my site as well as to build the topography model, which has been featured in a previous blog post. The other main tools that I used were the more difficult tools found under the Sandbox tools including smoove, stamp, and drape tools. These tools were not difficult to use and understand; however, it was difficult to use them and to make something that ended up looking decent instead of jagged and awkward-looking. I eventually got the hang of them and created something that looks decent, but it was not without a lot of trial and error.
