Google Sketchup, Learning




The google sketchup program is one of a number of
3D modeling programs capable of create walk around
models to explore the designs that you envision.
I recently been recomended to use this program by
a colleague who said that if you want to use a programwhich
is quick to learn and create you design this is it.
the program offered my the ability to create a model of
a design site and create a measured model which I can
walk around and see exactly where my design would and
would'nt work.
The only drawback that I have encountered with the Sketchup
program is that the graphics of the finished designed model
tend to be very cartoon like give a sense of serealism to the design.
I have definately gained a great deal from learning the use of this
program and would recomend it myself but would again remind
anyone who uses it, that it is not a perfectly refined modeling
tool but as the name suggests is very good at offering the means
to create simple sketch models.
