Go2School Google SketchUp Plus CAD Training (1 dvd)

Chapter 1

Mike welcomes you to the SketchUp and CAD series of lessons.

Chapter 2
Use the Google 3D Warehouse to download the file for the
SketchUp and CAD lessons to follow.

Chapter 3
Lea to tu off the perspective of your SketchUp model so.
that you can export scaled CAD drawings.

Chapter 4
Mike shows you how to align your elevation views so that
you can export those elevations as CAD drawings.

Chapter 5
The Section Tool is used to prepare Section Slices of your
3D model for export to 2D CAD plan or elevation files. Mike
explains how to use the Section Tool including tips and tricks
for editing and viewing section cuts of your model.

Chapter 6
Mike works with Section Cuts and Display Modes to prepare
the 3D model for exporting CAD data.

Chapter 7
Mike shows you how to export CAD files from a 3D SketchUp model.

Chapter 8
Mike shows you how to successfully import CAD files, including
showing you how to properly set the import preferences.

Chapter 9
Once youve imported CAD files, youll want to set the scale or
drawing units. Mike shows you how to accomplish this using the
Tape Measure Tool to resize the model.

Chapter 10
Mike demonstrates how to take the imported CAD plan and rotate and
move it into place. Lea to stand the flat Elevations up in the
vertical direction.

Chapter 11
Now that weve imported a 2D CAD plan and lined it up to reference
later in the modeling process, its time to prepare the file to be
converted into 3D.

Chapter 12
There are a number of powerful plugins or additional functionality
for SketchUp on the market.And many of them are free! They are called
Ruby Scripts, and in this lesson Mike shows you where to find Ruby
Scripts that will help you model more efficiently from CAD drawings.
Mike also shows you how to download and install the plugins that will
help you complete the rest of the lessons in this series.

Chapter 13
This one will save your 3D modeling life: Dont trace over CAD lines to
make surfaces and faces in SketchUp! Use the Make Faces plugin to save
days of your time Mike shows you how in this lesson.

Chapter 14
When you import a CAD file, you might try to create surfaces inside
all of thelines and edges.No matter the method you use, often some
faces or surfaces just wont seem to fill in! Mike explains how two
plugins might be useful in helping trouble shoot the offending lines
and edges: Label Stray Lines and Make Faces. These two plugins are big
time savers sometimes sparing you several days of tedious work.

Chapter 15
One of the most important things you can do when it comes to working
with CAD files within SketchUp is lea to model walls accurately and
efficiently. There are a number of different ways to accomplish this,
but we think Mikes come up with one of the best methods out there:
Lea to use the Rectangle Tool, Move Tool
and the Push Pull Tool to get a set of Exterior Walls modeled ASAP.

Chapter 16
When you work with CAD, you end up importing often unnecessary layers.
Its important to delete the unneeded stuff and start specifying your
own layer management system right away to keep your 3D model organized.
Mike introduces the topic oflayer management in this lesson and shows
you how to begin putting the exterior walls of a small house on their
own layer in SketchUp.

Chapter 17
If youve already seen chapter 15 on creating Exterior Walls, then this
one will be a breeze! If not,dive into this short lesson on how to take
wall information from a CAD plan and literally pull it upinto a set of
3D interior walls.

Chapter 18
Mike gives you a quick pep talk about layer management and keeping your
groups organized in different layers. Dont skip this quick insight
it will save you hours of frustration later!

Chapter 19
Mike demonstrates how to model an accurate floor, foundation and
footing for a small house.

Chapter 20
Drawing a roof in SketchUp can be a pain if you dont plan carefully.
Luckily, Mike has a couple of tricks up his sleeve: In this lesson,
lea how to use the Pencil Tool to draw an accurate profile, and then
the Follow Me Tool to quickly generate accurate roof
geometry. By the end of this lesson, youll have a fully modeled
lid to this new home all without needing the actual roof plan!

Chapter 21
One of the easiest ways to work quickly with different groups and
layers in SketchUp is to be able to quickly show and hide items in
the model. Mike will show you how to use the Hide Rest of the Model
command to more easily work on the roof. Also, lea
how to set your own keyboard shortcut for the Hide command.

Chapter 22
When working with CAD files in SketchUp, taking time for clean up
throughout the modeling process is always a good idea. Mike teaches
you how to clean up some extra edges and surfaces in the model of the
roof, then also shows you how to do some similar clean up on the
Exterior Walls and Interior Walls.

Chapter 23
Once you model all of the walls from your CAD drawings, youll want to
cut the openings for the windows and doors. In this lesson, Mike shows
you how to reference CAD files for height and width information.
He also demonstrates an easy Push Pull Tool trick for breezing through
multiple window and door cutouts.

Chapter 24
Mike begins to build the deck and will show you some of his priceless
tricks for quickly and accurately modeling the staircase. For good
measure, hell show you how to add the retaining wall below the deck
and the planter all from the information hes referencing
from the CAD plan and elevation drawings.

Chapter 25
Landscape Architects and Designers this lesson is definitely for you!
Mike shows you how to take the CAD plan and elevation for a patio and
trellis, and tu the 2D drawings i into a 3D model. There are a
handful of ticks in this segment that will save you hours and maybe
even days of time!

Chapter 26
So you need to add windows to your house design, but youre having
trouble finding the right size? Never fear: Mike shows you how some
window companies are using SketchUps Dynamic Component functionality
to program a ton of configurable options into one component model.
Lea how to download one dynamic component of a window and configure
it to fit exactly to the dimensions in your elevation file.

Chapter 27
Looking for the perfect toilet, refrigerator or door to specify in
your new home design?Mike shows you where to look for real world
products on the Google 3D Warehouse, how to download them to your
computer and how to properly add them to your 3D home design.

Chapter 28
Bathroom Designers, this lesson is for you. Mike demonstrates how to
take real world materials from the Google 3D Warehouse and add them
to your model. Lea how to find and specify floor tile, wall
tile and other materials.

Chapter 29
Mike reviews the house that has been created from CAD plans and shows
a number of components and materials that he has added to the interiors
to finish the design. Take a look at many of the products that hes
added from the Google 3D Warehouse and try your hand at designing the
last empty room.
