To meet the demands of industry and education for a fast, accurate, and inexpensive software to create 3D objects Google has created "Google SketchUp". Developed for the conceptual stages of design, this program is powerful and easy to learn. In short, it is designed to simplify and streamline the 3D design process. SketchUp is used by many designers to quickly create three dimensional concepts and colorful renditions. In this introduction to SketchUp students will master basic skills by creating a 3D building complete with doors, windows, stairs and interior components. While SketchUp is suited to any type of 3D modeling, the emphasis in this course will be on construction and architectural applications. (1 C: 0 lect/pres, 1 lab, 0 other)
