Book Description
Design professionals often find it hard to help their clients visualize their unique concepts and visions. Luckily, SketchUp bridges this communication gap with a powerful set of tools for visualizing and presenting your design ideas. This book teaches the approach perfected by two successful interior designers who have mastered SketchUp Pro/Studio to generate a workflow that produces fascinating designs and enables you to communicate them through vivid illustrations.
Starting with a review of the basics of creating 3D models, this book introduces Becca’s Hierarchy of Modeling—a ten-step process that establishes a rhythmic pattern in your workflow. As you progress, you’ll build on your SketchUp Pro knowledge by constructing architectural elements of a commercial building and furnishing a residential room with your own furniture, fixtures, and equipment (FFE) from scratch. From infusing photorealism into models to crafting appealing client presentations using SketchUp LayOut, this book has you covered. Each chapter provides step-by-step explanations of essential concepts and practical examples to reinforce learning.
By the end of this book, you’ll have an advanced understanding of SketchUp Pro’s capabilities, ensuring you enjoy working on conceptual or full design projects from start to finish and showing off your design prowess.
