3D Sofa

Description

The purpose of this assignment is to use SketchUp and draw a piece of furniture object based on 2D dimensioned drawings. You will use architectural units (feet and inches), and start by drawing the 2D linework to create surfaces and then push/pull the surfaces to complete the object.

Objectives/Outcomes and Assessment Criteria

• Demonstrate an understanding of SketchUp through the generation of an architecturally-related modeling assignment.
