3D Site Plan

Description

The purpose of this assignment is to use SketchUp and begin drawing a formal architectural site plan. You will use architectural units (feet and inches), and start by drawing the 2D linework to form the surfaces.

Objectives/Outcomes and Assessment Criteria

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

• Demonstrate craftsmanship as manifest through precision of the drawing.

• Document completed assignments in a digital format and archive those digital artifacts in MIro and Google Drive.

General Instructions to begin the model

1. Create a new file using the Architectural Inches Template.

2. Save the file as firstinitiallastname 3D Site.skp

3. Watch the step-by-step tutorial to successfully start, and reach a completion point with your model.

Note: the tutorial was created using the SketchUp for Web app. You will be using the Desktop version. The interface may look slightly different but the tools are the same for both versions.

4. You now have a completed SKP file.

5. Go to File… Export… 2D Graphics…

6. Export the file with the same filename and in the same folder as your SketchUp file.

Make sure to select Save as type: JPEG Image (*.jpg)

7. Upload the SKP (SketchUp Model) and JPG (JPEG Image) files to your Google Drive for evaluation.

8. Upload the JPG file to the Miro board for evaluation.

9. If you have any questions, email your instructor.
