Course Name:
SketchUp for Geo-Modeling
Price:
$300.00
Course Description:

This course will help participants understand fundamental principles of SketchUp as a 3D Geo-Modeling software. Participants will create 3D objects quickly and precisely using basic and intermediate tools. Using image texuring to depict details of a model, participants will learn to reduce geometric detail and file size, as well as other methods for editing optimized image textures.  This course also explains the the process of tagging a 3D model with geo-referenced information and posting finished models to the Google 3D Warehouse.   

Students who enroll in this course will be eligible to receive 3 Continuing Education Learning Units (AIA).

To use SketchUp effectively, you will need a basic 3-button mouse with a scroll wheel.

Upon completion of this course, you should be able to:

• Create 2-dimensional (2D) geometry in a 3-dimensional (3D) environment

• Create and manipulate surfaces from lines, circles, polygons, arcs, etc.

• Create and manipulate surfaces in 3D

• View and navigate your model in 3D

• Understand and leverage stickiness in the model

• Maintain coplanar geometry and use/lock inferences

• Use the Push/Pull Tool, and Follow Me Tool

• Generate forms quickly and apply materials

• Create and use Groups and Components

• Understand the difference between a Group and a Component

• Edit Groups and Components

• Utilize photographs in your model

• Manipulate images/textures with Texture Tweaker

• Create materials and use the Materials Browser

• Align building to terrain data

• Upload your model to the Google 3D Warehouse

• Import site information (imagery and topography) from Google Earth

• Position and export models to Google Earth
