Experience Summary
I have 25 years experience creating architectural presentation graphics for architects, engineers, developers, and designers. Need to learn Sketchup? I can get you up and running in no time flat. Whether you have an architectural background, are a hobbyist or are more interested in solid modeling I can show you how to make the best use of this versatile program, including:
-- Basic modeling concepts
-- Creating textures
-- Important layering concepts--why Sketchup is NOT like AutoCAD
-- Lighting and shadows
-- Downloading models
-- Importing and resizing files
-- Exporting STL files for 3D printing
-- Photomatching
-- Shortcuts--how to set them up and use them
-- Geolocation and export to Google Earth
-- Creating scenes and animations
-- Important plugins you really need
-- Using and creating section planes
-- Using Solids commands (must have Pro version)
-- Getting around lack of Solids commands (if you have free version)
I can also show you how to render images and animations using freeware and shareware, how to get around the AutoCAD import limitation imposed in Sketchup 8 Free, and will provide an extensive library of components and plugin amassed over years of Sketchup use (hint: bring 5 gigs of available media).
I am easily accessible from Route 95. Contact me for more information.
