Part 1: Applying the Basics to Interior Design
In the first part of the book, we review the SketchUp for Desktop (SketchUp Pro or Studio) interface by applying the foundational tools and concepts to the design field, with industry-specific examples. We ensure a thorough understanding of precision modeling fundamentals, including reviewing inferences and essential tools and panels (like the sometimes challenging Follow Me). We also provide a beginner’s workflow if you have not established one yet. Along the way, you may come across a tip or two that adds efficiency to your modeling process!
This part has the following chapters:
- Chapter 1, Using Essential Tools and Shortcuts for Space Planning
- Chapter 2, Becca’s Hierarchy of Modeling and the Designer’s Modeling Approach
- Chapter 3, Extruding along Curves and Other Timesavers
