This is the follow up class to An Introduction to SketchUp for Beginners in April. Prerequisite is either the previous class, or some familiarity with SketchUp. Computer Aided Design (CAD) is an incredibly useful asset to have for any woodworker, whether professional or enthusiast. SketchUp (originally by Google, now by Trimble) is an easily learned and incredibly versatile program. There are two key features of SketchUp that are amazingly useful. First is the ability to create accurate and detailed 3D drawings. This allows the user to design and manipulate a project from any angle, in order to create pleasing, well balanced designs. A person can virtually eliminate mistakes by having everything represented accurately on the computer model before any expensive materials are cut. As a further option, these drawings can then be ‘rendered’, meaning processed by an external plugin program to create photographic quality pictures These are very impressive and powerful when presenting a project to a client. The process also allows for alternative color and design elements to be visualized quickly. Anyone interested in 3D printing can export .STL files too. Secondly, SketchUp can easily produce technical drawings, which allow for accurate material take offs and defining the exact measurements of that awkward corner cabinet. It also calculates square footage and many other useful metrics. In this follow up class, students will learn more complex functions and shortcuts of the program and learn how to draw a more complex project. Tim also discusses the extensions that are available within the program for time saving and added features. The class will also spend greater time on 3D rendering using Podium Prowalker GPU.
