Google SketchUp for Site Design illustrates a holistic
approach to SketchUp: how it works and more importantly, what to do
with it. Filled with tutorials from front to back, the book focuses
on the start and completion of projects that include rich detail
and expression. Each part and chapter of the book builds on the
previous chapters and tutorial. You will learn how to approach
modeling site plans, buildings and site elements: from modeling
each of these exterior environment elements to piecing them
together to generate a singular and expressive model. The book
culminates with tutorials demonstrating effective and simple ways
to include grades and terrain using the Sandbox tools and how best
to integrate the entire approach with AutoCAD and SketchUp. Also
included are links to supplemental on-line resources such as
YouTube tutorials and free tutorial and example models from 3D
Warehouse. The book is useful for all SketchUp proficiency levels
including beginners, hobbyists, and professionals.
