Bloomsbury Complete Sketchup Companion For Interior Design 2018 Edition by Andrew Brody
The Complete SketchUp Companion for Interior Design focuses on the skills and requirements necessary to design and explore interiors-from composing views to managing the structure of the model for tracking objects in schedules and keys. Organized by skill type, the book mimics the layered nature of the software, where a general base skill set is enhanced and deepened through more advanced, focused explorations and exercises. With concise explanations, and helpful boxed features ranging from basic to advanced topics, The Complete SketchUp Companion for Interior Design will be equally useful for beginning users and for those who already have knowledge of basic skills but find themselves in common "I-need-to-know" type situations in the design studio.The Complete SketchUp (R) Companion for Interior Design STUDIO-Study smarter with self-quizzes featuring scored results and personalized study tips-Review concepts with flashcards of terms and definitions-Watch video tutorials to learn essential techniques -Download template files to practice your skills PrefaceDedicationTable of ContentsExpanded Table of ContentsUnit I: Getting Started with SketchUpChapter 1 SketchUp, explainedChapter 2 The Basics: Simple Shapes and Objects Chapter 3 Beyond the BasicsChapter 4 Graphical Controls Chapter 5 Creating Furniture Chapter 6 Model a Simple Interiors ProjectUnit II: Increasing Productivity Chapter 7 Customize the Interface Chapter 8 Scene Management Chapter 9 Styles management Chapter 10 Space Planning Tools Chapter 11 Complex Building Elements Chapter 12 Advanced GeometryUnit III: LayOutChapter 13 Simple Design Presentations Using LayOut Chapter 14 Construction Drawings Using LayOut Chapter 15 Advanced orthographic drawings Chapter 16 Schedules, take-offs, and charts Chapter 17 Construction Details Unit IV: Beyond SketchUpChapter 18 External media Chapter 19 Interoperability Chapter 20 Photo-realistic rendering Chapter 21 Composite SketchUp viewsAppendix: Performance issues GlossaryIndex
