Summers ago, I used SketchUp for a summer program. Now, I have attempted to recreate my house. Being the overachiever that I am, I did the inside as well (and included all the doors) which was majorly frustrating. Setting up the foundation was nice and easy, but, me being extra, I just HAD to measure the walls so that they were the same size.
Once my head starting hurting (from frowning at the screen continuously), I finally relented and was like “Ah, this does NOT have to be so difficult!”
Reading the assignment, it turns out that YOU DON’T NEED TO DO THE INSIDE.
I believe using a program like this would empower people to visualize their ideas into a 3D format (which can lead to 3D-printing their models). Tools like this could help people organize their ideas into a tangible outcome.
Here’s a tip: READ THE INSTRUCTIONS. Just kidding. For those new to SketchUp, all I can say is: just have fun! The orbit tool can be a bit aggravating to use, but you get to see your work in 360! Experiment with all the tools SketchUp has to use and start developing your ideas.
