Course: Working with SketchUp 3D Vegetation
Duration: 3 hours
Instructor: Daniel Tal
See Schedule for this course >>
The webinar focuses on working with 3D vegetation to obtain the best results. Learning how to properly organize, arrange and place plant material in a model allows for an efficient workflow and the ability to construct complex, vegetation rich models. Participants will learn how to best insert, arrange and scale vegetation into a 3D Site Plan. The class will review how to organize vegetation on layers to maintain computer performance and allow for an easy creation of graphic images.
Topics covered in this course:
- How to scale, arrange and rotate vegetation
- Ruby Script to randomize vegetation habit, rotation and size.
- How to edit vegetation appearance including color
- How to quickly swap or replace vegetation.
- How to work with vegetation to maintain SketchUp and computer performance.
- Q & A
This session ends with a demonstration of SketchUp terrain modeling methods.
