Visualizing spaces in three dimensions is critical to the success of the design of architectural spaces. The interplay of light, colour, space and form make exciting spaces function successfully.

Traditional methods for exploring these issues are very labour intensive. Use of computer software has enabled quicker (and sometimes more accurate) study models to be generated, explore and iterate more times in the time design time available to you.

• Create 2 dimensional geometry (in a 3 dimensional or 3D environment)
  
• Create surfaces from lines • Create surfaces from circles
  
• Generate surfaces from polygons
  
• Generate surfaces from arcs

• Connect and generate forms
  
• Lock an inference
  
• Generate forms quickly
  
• Restore a surface
  
• Create a model, step-by-step
  
• Mirror a model
  
• Create an array
  
• Apply Materials
  
• Create 3D Text
  
• Import component models from Google 3D Warehouse
  
• Alter a model using built-in Styles

Define fundamental geometric terms, including polygon, parallel, perpendicular, axes, arc, and array.Define 3 dimensional drawing terms, including rendering, field of view, and point of view. Demonstrate mouse skills, including double-clicking, drag, single-clicking, and context-clicking.

This course is intended for students with little or no 3 dimensional drawing or SketchUp experience, but who want to start to create 3 dimensional models using SketchUp.

SketchUp enables you to draw using a familiar pencil and paper paradigm in a software context. This course provides students with an excellent choice for beginning to learn to use SketchUp.
