Book DescriptionDesign professionals often find it hard to help their clients visualize their unique concepts and visions. Luckily, SketchUp bridges this communication gap with a powerful set of tools for visualizing and presenting your design ideas. This book teaches the approach perfected by two successful interior designers who have mastered SketchUp Pro/Studio to generate a workflow that produces fascinating designs and enables you to communicate them through vivid illustrations.
Starting with a review of the basics of creating 3D models, this book introduces Becca’s Hierarchy of Modeling—a ten-step process that establishes a rhythmic pattern in your workflow. As you progress, you’ll build on your SketchUp Pro knowledge by constructing architectural elements of a commercial building and furnishing a residential room with your own furniture, fixtures, and equipment (FFE) from scratch.

Each chapter provides step-by-step explanations of essential concepts and practical examples to reinforce learning.
