Sketchup for Interior design part 2

1. Introduction : Hello, I'm Oliver. I'm an interior design professional who specializes in 3D illustrations. He's a variety of 3D modeling software for my designs. But hazel eyes catch up the most because of how fast and efficient is for creating 3D models. In our previous class, we look at SketchUp interface and some of the key concepts in modelling. We learned how to organize our drawing with layers. And we also learned the importance of groups and components in SketchUp is part two of my SketchUp for interior design class, we will dive deeper into the model increments. We will review at how you can create and save your seeds. We will be modeling or components to create doors, windows, and building networks. Then of this course, you should have basic to intermediate skills in SketchUp. You will be able to create three-dimensional spaces from scratch for a class project. Follow along the demonstrations to further develop and add more details into your interior model. For those who took up my first class, you can use your safe SketchUp file for the project. Alternatively, I've uploaded a file that you can use to follow along. I strongly encourage you to build up your model as we will be adding the final touches in our scene when our last class in preparation for exporting our 3D model. Let's get started. 2. Creating arch openings: Let's create openings in the exterior walls for a windows. If I turn on the wireframe view, you will see that my windows are identical. Therefore, we can make one profile of the opening and just make multiple copies of it. First, let's turn off the interior walls layer. Then I'll use a tape measure to create guides from a window heights. See 36 inches for the seal. And I'll make another one at 60 inches for the top of the window. I'll draw a rectangle and snap it to the kites. Double-click and make it a group. Go to wireframe view and move this edge along the x axis and snap it the one end of the window. As are the same thing for this edge. Next, I'll create another guide told interests from the top. I will be using this as a reference for my art profile window. To point our command. Click here for the first, Click on the other end for the second, and then move your mouse to snap to the top of the window arrays and delete the shapes. If we're excluding this profile, I'll make a copy of it. Put it off at sign. The reason why I made a copy is because I will be using this profile that creates the solid pieces of walls in between the windows. Later on. Go ahead and make multiple copies of the profile, please them accordingly through Layout. Press release control, use the corner of the window as a reference point. We need to make another copy for the last window. Now, because the profiles are on a group of it's own and separate from the exterior wall. We will need to merge them together originally so we can click and push the profile to the back of the wall to make the openings. He's the Select tool. Click on one of the profile. Press and hold control, and click on the other two process to select all of them. Go to Edit and select cut. Next, double-click on next year we'll go to Edit ten base in place. See how the profile is still not merging into the wall. That's because it is still a group, even though we have copied and pasted it. Reselect all three profiles, right-click and select exclude. I'm just going to click on each face to double-check. Okay, I can now use the push pull and make the openings. Push it all the way, the Bab, and double-click on the next two phases. Then using the rotate command, you need to pay attention to the axis as it will affect your objects are rotated. If I select the box, it will rotate along the z axis. But if I place my mouse on this phase, it will now rotate along the x-axis. Remember that you can also press the Shift button was the command is active constraint that rotation along the axis. So let's repeat the last profile constraint, the rotation, and select the corner as a reference point. And I'm just going to move it to the location, the last window. Next, we will cut, paste and explode the profile and extrude it tells us what we did for the other three windows. We are now going to edit this profile, create the solid pieces on our window. First, let's put it in front of the opening. Then we will draw lines to align with each of these points. The pencil to hover your mouse on the edge and slowly move it up. Now as you move it up, it will draw a dotted line. Once you reach the windowsill, click it to start the first of your line. Press Shift, and then click the top of the arc. What we just did is called inferencing in SketchUp. Or go ahead and do the same for the other three edges. When you're done, click this electron to check your faces. I can next remove these three shapes. Lastly, extrude them the same thickness. You can now copy the opening. Notice that there should also be an opening here for the exterior door. However, because I'm only concerned about the interior space, is not necessary for me to model or edit a turn on a do-while layers and save my file. 3. Advance copy command: We know that the pressing and releasing the control button for the move command is active initiates. Man. In addition to these, SketchUp also allows you to easily make multiple copies. This is extremely useful when you are making copies that are of equal sizes. Let's say I want to create multiple equal lines here. First, I select this edge at the pit and move to press and release control and cut this edge. Now without exiting the command, typing 2x, 3x for x. And notice what happens. Alternatively. You can also copy this edge all the way to the opposite end. Again without exiting command, type in six slash. It's ash. And see what happens. We have just created eight equal divided lights. B cells append with rotate. To. Notice icon is playing Blue. When you hover your mouse to an object, it will use the plane as a reference point. Personnel is controlled by the command is active. Then rotate. Without executing the command, type 2x, 3x. Now, I can also do this to make multiple equally spaced geometries. I'm going to select the cylinder is a different central point of reference. Press release control. Then we'll see five x, eight x. Or I can also make equally divided geometries. To continue with our interior space. We will be modeling the interior columns since they are all identical. Instead of using. This is a great example of when you want to make use of components. First creates a column layer. Click the rectangle, trace the outline of a column. Then double click to select the whole shape and make us a component. Typing into column for the name of your component. Have double-click to edit, athlete push, pull, an extruded at ten feet. Next, I'll make multiple copies of the column to match the layout. See what happens when I added one column. Because they are all identical copies or components, I only need to multiply one of the columns. Next, we will be making ceiling. Make sure you are on the ceiling layer. Instead of using a rectangle and modifying it to recreate the season. Just like what we did for the floor. The easiest way would be to make a copy of your floor. Now because it is literally a copy of our floor layer is also showing us floor. Double-click this like the entire shape. Then change layer into ceiling. Click outside the sheep to exit your group. Then click once on the sheet. Notice how it is showing us floor because it is a group object, shapes or geometries inside the group will have their own layer properties. Then the group itself will also have toned layer results. Just click once on the group and change it for your ceiling. Let's double check that the shapes inside are still incorrect layer. 4. Adding scenes: Let's look at the tools associated with the camera command. Before we can place a camera, you need to remove this m. We can of course, turn-off preceding layer. There may be times where you will have two or more objects in the same ceiling. Which means if you turned off sealing layer, all the objects within it will be turned off as well. Instead, when you select an object and right-click, there is an option to Eigen. Next, click on the camera icon and determine your view. Say you want to focus on this wall intersection area. I use this point as a location from a camera. Notice how your miles automatically changes to the ice symbol. Simply move your mouse around 30 side view. When you are done, there are a few tricks that you may want to do, modify your view. The warp tool allows you to zoom in and out as if you are literally walking in space. It will even start moving when you hit an object. Right now, I'm dragging my mouse down, but nothing is happening. That is because there is a solid object right behind. Also, if you look closely at the dimension box, it is showing five foot, six inches. It I I consulted. You can type in your desired eye level for your view. Say two feet or four foot seven. The last adjustment you need to do is to define your camera angle. Zoom tool use, and you have a camera view to either widen the angle or make it narrower. Just type in your desired angle. Person like 3560 degree range. And you want to save this by using the scenes in the default tree. Click on the plus sign, then create seen. Right-click and rename your scene. And I'll rename this as perception. It's now time to turn on our receding back on, go to Edit and then less. The great thing with CVS, your views. So anytime you rotate or Ponyo cooling, you can always go back to your seat fields. Now notice how the ceiling's missing again. That is because when I created the scene, I did not have the seeding turned on. So what I need to do is turn it back on. Then right-click on your scene and select Update, ten updates. And try it again. Okay. When you are working on search up, I will suggest DC 100 scene where he can work on the model, allied the ceiling and once again, then add a new scene and rename it as immoral. I'll make another scene and renamed it. Can view. Next. Go to view and open up the US. Now I'll click on the top icon, which will convert my growing into a 3D plan view. Remember that every time you make changes to your scene. If you go to camera, you will see an option here for parallel projection and perspective. So if you decide you wanted to just click on the parallel projection. Last but not least, let's look at the section Thing tool. This will let you cut off a portion of your drawing, See how the section plane symbol reacts when I move my mouse, the specific plane, it will always align with the orientation of your wall. I'm going to put the cut right on this wall. Next, you can select a plane and movie tour. You want the cut. I'll say this as another scene. Presentation purposes. You may want to turn off this cotinine sample. You could move the views and unchecked section theme to turned visibility off. Next, I'm going to click on one of the Elevation symbols here. Then I'm gonna go to View and turn on parallel projection. I've just created an interior elevation and clinical tab and changing my perspective. The next thing I want to do is turn that mycelium layer ARM code views. And then last, I'm just going to orbit and pan my view others a bit crazy sectional perspective. When you then update your scene. 5. Placing components: So as three dimensional furniture in SketchUp, components into default tree. Select components sampler, and choose from the list below. Then try them mature model. Depending on your SketchUp Version, email also type in the search bar, what you're looking for. And click search. As long as you have internet connection, SketchUp assure you links where you net models. But I personally like to do, however, is cooled through 3D warehouse. And on this website, there are several furnitures or models that you can download. A type in launched Chu in the search box. Click this Download icon, and then select the version that you are using. Now I'm just going to cheer for my reception. This insight could fit a click download. Just make sure you make a note of the filename and each location in your computer. To insert, go to File, Import. And look for your file. Make sure you have SketchUp file selected here. Then click import. A click on my floor, place of furniture in the reception. Another way of inserting is to open up your furniture in another SketchUp window. Select your object, then go to edit, copy and switch basilar file. Then goes and pays. Once again, click on the floor. Now let's begin placing them in the right location. Can come in handy. And start moving my furniture. Constraint you remove or rotation. This is a table that I have already downloaded. I'm going to copy and paste it into my file. Now there are times when you insert objects from another file, their size is not going to be right. See how smaller table is computed this model. In these instances, you may need to rescale the object. When you have the V8 scale command, you will see green nodes, which we will use the scale up or down your object. Whose scale will look different depending on which node you use. Either you scale uniformly in the blue axis, that axis. Where the blue and green axis. You can also scale it uniformly in all three areas when using the corner node. You can also press control to scale it around the center of your object. Okay, let me move this table into case. Then I'll scale it uniformly in all three axes. I'm gonna go to my reception seem now to check the height and the proportion of the desk. Now, if in case for some reason and you need a larger diameter table, you may have to go a step further, modify the furniture. Because if you just rely on the scale tool, the proportion of infringer may not be accurate. To do so, double-click on the component. First, I'll try the thickness of the t rho. Then I'll select the table and scale it uniformly at the center by pressing control has a legit thickness of the SQL and it's slightly thicker now. So I have to push this down slightly to match the original thickness. 6. Modeling your own components: And of course, to your own components. Let's try to model this reception TiVo and select rectangle. Then I'll trace over this offline. We'll click and then make group. Next, I'll go to my working moral scene. And I wanted to start hiding some of the objects in my model. I could select each object and keep adding to the selection for me to hide. However, passively would be correctly conduct to hear modeling dense leg lock. So go to Edit, Select, All right click, and then hide. The object is not the only thing my Muslim holds. Then right-click and I'm not the issue. So I can start modeling. Double-click that. It pushed this phase up to about 29 inches for the desk. Then leave the bottom part up at about three inches feet outside to exit this group. Next, great, another rectangle here from obese. First, let me add a guide at about three inches high publicly tensile component. I've named this as reception. That's now, I'll modify this profile to create a piece of it down. Double click to edit. Select Offset. I'll type in half an inch. I'll delete face and then extrude the profile at about one inch. Has then make a copy of this leg the other end. And because it is a component, if I add another half inch of thickness for the lead, the other leg will also adjust automatically. Next thing I want to do is a transaction top. First, I'll make a guide at about six inches Offset. I'll make another one about two feet or maybe two foot, six inches. And another one here at 12 inches. Select Rectangle, trace over the guy, double-click and make group. Then move the rectangle, such as Chris said, at about 11 inches from the desk, then extrude this phase all the way to the bottom of the test. We're just going to move it in front slightly by two inches. Next I'm going to draw another rectangle at a piece. So in the bottom part of this geometry, right-click on the desk and select double-click and exclude his face all the way and go to Edit. Next, use Offset tool to add more detail along the edges of this top. And move these edges so I can multiply two face later on. So I'm just going to push the fees slightly forward. Now. I'll have to do this on the other side too. But instead of doing that, we will make this component. So we only need to add this one side. First. Allergists decides to have it at the center of this object and push these faced snap to the guy directly and explored my object. Then right-click again and main component. I'll name this as transaction tab. I'm gonna make a copy of this object is to make a mirror copy of this. If you select the scale tool, then choose the middle mode, the granting, all the way to the other side. You can create a duplicate copy. And to be precise, you should take negative one. So if I check this dimension, 200 foot three. And this one's also on foot three. I move this object beside the Arab peace. So now if I were to edit this, the other side will update accordingly. Lastly, you may not want to see this line here. So what you can do is double-click selective research tool. But instead of deleting the line, you can press shift while your command is active. Glide line. Features realized that I've been working on their own layer. So let me create another layer called Furniture. Then I select the entire reception desk and select furniture. How I will have to double click on each of the groups to make sure all geometry inside it is in a furniture layer as well. I can now go back to the reception. See, let me just change this furniture into the furniture layer as well. 7. Modeling doors and windows: He will now be modelling of the doors and windows tangled over the opening. Double-click on it, and select a GAS component, as namely does for frame. Next, I'm going to extrude the phase by four inches, create an offset of two inches thick. I'm gonna push this phase all the way to delete it. When I push this bottom part as well and delete the face. Next, I'll draw another rectangle. Double-click and Make Component, and name it as glass doors. Faced by two inches. You can check the bat. Then a Latin offset by four inches for the frame. I'll push this phase all the way to the back. And I'll just move this door slightly to the bat. It's actually a need for the class. Make US component named Is Us for glass. Then I'll just move the face that I get for the door handle. First creates a claim. I'll make it at about 38 inches high. Draw circle component. And then Lisa Randall and extrude this phase slightly to us and thickness. Thanks, I'll show one rectangle. And I'm just going to modify this right-angled create the handle. Ten, organize a combined all these elements that I have just created as a group photo when those real easy sing method, first, I'll add a new layer. Select a new layer and lower rectangle around the opening. Then use it to point arc, increase over this arc. Make sure this is the component. Her name is US. Central window. I can then remove this two shifts here. I'll extrude phase by three inches. Then create them upset. Two inches, seek to create a free. Then I'm gonna use the pencil command degree divisions for the Marlins. I'll make a copy of the bottom edge. Then type 3x to add one inch frames around for each window pane. We don't sit in common, simply double-click on each face too rapidly, the offset thickness. Lastly, I just need to push the face to the bathroom. Now 40 glass you can make one rectangle for each beam. Would be to make one big rectangular shape for the entire window. Juicing is hard to trace over this arc. Once again. Erase this line, and then just push the face slightly further about. I'll do another window here for the right side opening. Now, for the last window, created a mirror copy of the right site when you move your mouse to the right and type negative one. Now move the windows to align to the world. I mean, again, to be more organized three windows and make group.
