Trimble SketchUp (formerly Google SketchUp) is an all-purpose 3D modeling tool. The program is primarily developed around architectural design, but it can be used to model just about anything. It is an easy way to quickly communicate your design ideas to clients or prospective employers. Not only can you create great still images, SketchUp also is able to produce walkthrough videos. The tutorials will introduce you to using SketchUp to create 3D models for interior design. Several pieces of furniture are modeled. The process is broken down into the fundamental concepts of 2D line work, 3D extraction, applying materials and printing. For a little inspiration, this book has several real-world SketchUp project images throughout. Also, a real-world project is provided to explore and it is employed in the book to develop a walkthrough animation. Rather than covering any one feature or workflow in excruciating detail, this book aims to highlight many topics typically encountered in practice. Many of the tutorials build upon each other so you have a better understanding of how everything works, and you finish with a greater sense of confidence. In addition to “pure” SketchUp tutorials, which comprises most of the text, you will also enjoy these “extended” topics: Introduction to LayOut; an application which comes with SketchUp Pro Manufacturer specific paint colors and wallcoverings Manufacturer specific furniture Manufacture specific flooring Photorealistic rendering using V-Ray for SketchUp Working with AutoCAD DWG files Working with Revit; including how to bring SketchUp models into Revit This book has been written with the assumption that you have no prior experience using Trimble SketchUp. With this book, you will be able to describe and apply many of the fundamental principles needed to develop compelling SketchUp models. Although the book is primarily written with a classroom setting in mind, most individuals will be able to work through it on their own and benefit from the tips and tricks presented.

Good visual communication is when your ideas can be understood by your audience, and this is especially important for interior designers. Sketchup 2013 is a powerful tool that helps interior designers who work every day with materials, colors, textures, and lights. Much has been written for using SketchUp in the building shell and its relationship to the environment or the site. Less help has been provided to interior designers who specialize in indoor spaces. Students need to know the available tools and how to apply them in specific cases to this particular discipline. Fundamental concepts, ideas on how to create objects and interior spaces, tips, plugins and practical exercises using Sketchup 2013 are what this book offers. This hands-on book follows the same format as the previous series – step-by-step instructions. It is a compendium of practical exercises using Sketchup 2013 that led students to use the tool from the perspective of the interior designer. This course may be applied to any discipline, but all exercises are designed especially for interior designers, stage designers, and space planning focusing on the tools required to use Sketchup in those fields. A series of four books offer separate courses progressing in complexity. At the end of every course you will find practical exercises that will broaden your experience in the acquired knowledge. These resources enable students to think about how the knowledge can be applied to any situation. At the end of the four courses you will be able to bridge your ideas to others in a more efficient and attractive way."Training Course 1. Developing Basic Skills" offers to those that are new in the use of Sketchup 2013 the basic knowledge to draw, edit and manipulate various elements. This book focuses on the fundamentals for the interior design field and promotes independent study.

Acquiring Intermediate Skills" maybe applied to any discipline, but all exercises are designed especially for interior designers, stage designers, and space planning focusing on the tools required to use Sketchup in those fields. One of the strengths of Sketchup is the way it allows users to maintain the geometry of a model under control. Having a disorganized model can be a real headache and can even cause the computer to operate very slowly. There are four indispensable tools if your wish to reach a good end: Groups, Components, Outliner and Layers. Learn how to stay organized in Sketchup 2013 by using these tools. Learn how to control your model through the Outliner and access to the 3D Warehouse.
