PART II

SketchUp

SketchUp is an excellent design tool that gives designers the flexibility they need to sketch in a 3D digital world. SketchUp was once considered useful only for preliminary schematic designs; however, if you incorporate the organizational techniques taught in The SketchUp Workflow for Architecture, SketchUp is capable of much more. In this section, you’ll learn about the SketchUp tools, environment, and how to use collections and ruby scripts. Before you get into the details, however, you need to make sure you are up to snuff on the basics and that your default SketchUp template is optimized for professional use.
