When I first ...Hi Michael, thanks for the comments. When I first started trying to learn Sketchup I forced myself to use it on live projects I was working on - not necessarily for the whole range of stuff I use it for now, but maybe drawing up the survey or presenting to clients. Took a bit longer than way I'd been taught at college, but slowly the information sunk in! Taking a day or two's training can probably help you avoid pain I went through - I am in the middle of organising a web 2 day course with a company called Ria Solutions, so will let you know how I get on with that. Good luck!Tracy McQuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08078430428718470238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3623155250881815320.post-53503464641670059652010-12-07T13:15:49.353+00:002010-12-07T13:15:49.353+00:00Looks fantastic Tracy.

I have had great intentions to get more skilled with Sketchup as it's clearly a powerful design and presentation tool but as with most things, devoting the necessary time to train up always seems to be difficult. Your articles, however, will push me forward to do more with it from now on. Perhaps if it snows some more I'll gather up enough spare time to do it :)<br />Keep doing the good work.<br />MichaelAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14912025943573946321noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3623155250881815320.post-7709671337192967082010-12-01T20:28:52.004+00:002010-12-01T20:28:52.004+00:00Thanks for the info, Tracy, really useful.

I've been using the freebie version I use the 2D model that I create from the survey as a basis for everything in the process - the 3D models, presenting to client, calculating areas & dimensions for spec &layout drawings for contractor. I have created a whole set of 2D plant components which allow me to do planting plans to scale too. The Outliner in Pro version even allows you download this a plant list! I am self taught, so probably still making mistakes, so going on a couple of days bespoke training over the winter to see if I can become more efficient. If I can help with anything else, don't hesitate to give me a shout.

Getting better at the surveying & drawing up stage in making them accurate. Probably spend far too long on footering (Scottish word!) around with including houses etc in models, but feel it's worth the end result. I'm going to take some Sketchup training over the winter to see if I can improve skills & speed up a bit.Tracy McQuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08078430428718470238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3623155250881815320.post-17929359252267919752010-11-30T11:06:00.747+00:002010-11-30T11:06:00.747+00:00Hi Tracy Was very interested in your comments re s...Hi Tracy Was very interested in your comments re sketchup. Thought your 3d drawings looked really good. Do you use the pro version or the freebie? also do you do use it for your initial layout plans or just to show the 3d and planting plans? Did you teach yourself or did you go on a course?? Hope you don't mind me asking all these questions, but have been looking at using it myself and its interesting to get the opinion of someone who is already using it.

I have tried a couple of times to take 3D models to the setting out/marking up stage and it simply isn't accurate enough, under my hand at least. More practice perhaps :)<br />Great to see the progression of the designRosalind Rosewarnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02617072304865785732noreply@blogger.com
