Working on 3D model of Saint Paul College

Each person in the group, is responsible for building portion of school model. I am working on building the school skyway. In previous few weeks, I had created the floor plan from scratch. Wow, it is difficult to make it accurate. Later it is Josh's idea to import the school plan from the school website. It has made our life a lot easier. Now I am concentrated to work on Skyway model.

Knowing basic tools and concepts before doing 3D design

Drawing Tools
You need to know 2D tools well before developing 3D objects in the tool Sketchup There are six basic drawing tools, they are...
1. Line, 2. Rectangle, 3. Polygon, 4. Arc, 5. Circle, and 6. Freehand

You can use everyone of the above icon to create 2D object and then it can be used for creating 3D objects Therefore, having yourself used to the tools to draw the shape and the size you want, it can speed up project designing time.
