Class 7, Assignment 4: Sketchup Toolbar Series

Here are all of the pictures I took while doing the google sketch up videos. It was disappointing because it was a review of all of the concepts we already had to learn to do the previous week's Sketchup exercises.

Selections: Here I used a model from the catalog to play with the selections on. After this lesson however, I realized it was much easier to just quickly build basic models myself to practice the techniques on.

Here I am selecting different parts of the bed component 

 Here is where I started making my own models. These basic boxes show me figuring out the difference between components and groups

 These are photos of me learning the paint bucket tool. By far my favorite tool

 I'm using the eraser tool to erase and edge on the block

 Rectangle tool is the tool i use the most.

 Making lines was a lot easier after watching this tutorial

 I'm using the line tool here to divide the line

 I didn't know that Sketchup circles have 24 sides. Here I am showing the difference between circles and polygons

 more circles

 Here I am trying out the arc tool. This one is hard to use, but makes fancy results

 like this!!

 The freehand tool let me make a cool broken heart

 The move tool let me move the heart's surfaces around similar to push pull

 Push pull is really satisfying to use. I really liked how you can make a doorway

 It is hard to show how I used rotate here, but I rotated the rectangle around the circle

 N for Noah using Follow me! This is also tricky to use

 Trim detail using follow me

 The Scale tool is really useful, but took a while to get the hang of

 Here is a picture of the offset tool. I like how you can make symmetrical borders so easily 

 I used the tape measure here to create guides

 Here is the dimension tool I think this makes it look very professional

 I used the protractor to measure the angle I made with two polygons. it is in the right corner

 And to make a guideline at a 45 degree angle

 Text tool! I'm sure this will come in handy!

 More text

 Here i used the axis tool to change the axes downward

 This was hard to show, but here I am using the navigation tool to zoom out and pivot

 Look around was very easy to use

 so was walking around. I think this would be very useful for an architect

 Finally, this is sectioning. I sectioned two ways on my polygons. Very easy to use.
