SketchUp is the tool of choice for architects, interior designers, and construction professionals. Though the basics are simple to understand, getting the most out of it requires deeper instruction and guidance. Architectural Design with Google SketchUp uses easy-to-understand tutorials to describe both common and advanced process, illustrated throughout with full-color renderings.

Handy sidebars throughout the book cover fundamentals and background information
End-of-chapter exercises help readers master new skills and techniques
A robust companion website includes helpful videos, sample files, and plug-ins

From the Back Cover

How to get spectacular results with the 3D-modeling app SketchUp:

While it is easy to pick up the basic techniques of SketchUp, going beyond these essentials requires step-by-step instruction and practice. Architectural Design with SketchUp provides the knowledge needed to move past the basics and take full advantage of SketchUp as a powerful 3D modeling tool. After a SketchUp refresher, this user-friendly handbook covers component-based modeling for assembly, scheduling, collaborative design, and modeling with a BIM approach. It demonstrates the use of plugins for 3D modeling, fabrication, data integration, and analysis (energy efficiency, etc.), as well as rendering in SketchUp, enhancing with Photoshop, and combining with hand-drawn content. It also offers easy tutorials for creating complex geometry using Ruby coding.

Architectural Design with SketchUp includes:

Easy-to-follow tutorials that describe common or advanced processes and can either be used as presented or adapted?? easily to match your needs
Basic concepts and background information located in sidebars for easy reference
End-of-chapter exercises for self-led practice work or class assignments
Full-color illustrations throughout, demonstrating photorealistic renderings and tutorials
Access to a robust companion website containing videos, sample files, and plugins
SketchUp is the 3D-modeling tool of choice for architects, interior designers, and construction professionals. Architectural Design with SketchUp is the obvious choice for anyone who wants to make the most of this extremely useful tool.

Author(s)/Editor(s): ALEXANDER C. SCHREYER | Size: 31.84 MB | Format: epub | Quality: Original preprint | Publisher: © 2015 by John Wiley & Sons, Inc. | Year: November 2015 | pages: 673 | ISBN: 9781118978818

Description
Go beyond the basics: making SketchUp work for you

Architectural Design with SketchUp, Second Edition, is the leading guide to this incredibly useful tool for architects, interior designers, construction professionals, and makers. With easy to follow tutorials that first brush up on the basics of the program and then cover many advanced processes, this resource offers both informative text and full-color illustrations to clearly convey the techniques and features you need to excel. The updated second edition has a new chapter that explains how to make things with SketchUp, and covers 3D printing, design to fabrication, CNC milling, and laser cutting. Other chapters also now cover Building Information Modeling (BIM) and 3D web content generation. Additionally, the revised text offers insight into the latest products and plugin extensions, navigation methods, import/export options, and 3D model creation features to ensure you have an up to date understanding of how to make SketchUp help you meet your project goals.

A leading 3D modeling application, SketchUp features documentation capabilities through photorealistic renderings and construction drawings. Because of its ease of use and ability to be enhanced with many plugin extensions for project-specific applications, SketchUp is considered the tool of choice for professionals in the architecture, interior design, construction, and fabrication fields.

   Access thoroughly updated information in an easy to understand writing style
   Increase your efficiency and accuracy when using SketchUp and refresh and supplement your understanding of SketchUp's basics
   Explore component-based modeling for assembly, scheduling, collaborative design, and modeling with a BIM approach
   Find the right plugin extensions and understand how to best work with them
   See how easy it is to generate presentation-ready renderings from your 3D models
   Learn how you can use 3D printing, CNC milling, and laser cutting to make things with SketchUp

at The Univeristy of Massachusetts
Alexander C. Schreyer
Combining backgrounds in structural engineering, wood science and digital design, Mr. Schreyer's interests span the entire range of planning and design of buildings and structures. He specializes on the design and construction mainly heavy timber-type (e.g. glulam) structural systems. This is complimented by a strong interest in computer applications and web-based solutions in structural engineering, construction and architecture.

Mr. Schreyer is Assistant Program Director and Lecturer in the Building and Construction Technology (BCT) program at the University of Massachusetts (UMass) Amherst, MA. He teaches classes in BIM (Building Information Modeling) and CAD (Computer-Aided Design), building materials and construction methods, wood properties as well as a capstone graduate structural design class in the M.Arch architecture program.

In his research Mr. Schreyer focuses on the behavior of wood-based structural systems with a particular interest in innovative connection systems for wooden structures. Other foci are development of software-based approaches in digital design and structural optimization as well as interactive web-based tools.

Mr. Schreyer recently published the book “Architectural Design with SketchUp” with John Wiley & Sons, which provides a beginner- to intermediate-level overview of various techniques to “do more” with the popular 3D modeling application Trimble SketchUp.
