#SKETCHUP GARDEN DESIGN PROFESSIONAL#
What I'm hoping to be able to do is decide on a particular plant, type it in and get a scale model of it's size and form. Revit is a powerful professional BIM (Building Information Management) software. So far I haven't found the plants from the warehouse too realistic, or the selection very varied, I've used some to give an illustration of planting, but not exact planting plans. I've tried searching for it on my computer and in sketchup & google components warehouse, but I can't find it.
#SKETCHUP GARDEN DESIGN HOW TO#
I know I'm being dim, but I can't work out how to access/see the C:\Program Files\Google\Google SketchUp 7\Components\Landscape_Architecture_Bonus\Vegetation\ that you mention. Thanks for your reply, most of which I understand. Here we discuss How to create a Kitchen design in Sketchup step by step in detail.Dear Tig, (that was the name of my first dog when I was 11!)
#SKETCHUP GARDEN DESIGN FREE#
After getting idea from this article you can start designing your own kitchen by going through basics of this designing. Landscape designers can leverage SketchUp Free to turn their initial models into a dimension- and context-full design files. Here i have gave you an idea for how you can create kitchen design in step by step manner and by following these steps you can easily complete this design. Now you can also make draw door with glass and for that offset this like this.Īnd make a rectangle here for glass and you can provide thickness to it according to chosen glass.Īfter completing you kitchen layout you can fill materials to each section like i filled in slap top. Now select anyone of the section and offset it at some distance for making front face of draw. I am not taking their specific dimension it is just for explaining you. Now i will take Line tool and draw lines from top edge of slab to bottom edge of it for dividing sections like this. You must remember that each time you make any object first make it group or component. Its been a few months since I wrote about how I use Sketchup and Photoshop for my garden design work. For dividing make double click on slab area so that it will converts into edit mode because i have made it as group. You can divide sections in the slab that will be draws for placing stuffs of kitchen. For moving it i will take move tool and assign moving plane then move it like this. Assigning rotating plane to this cooktop and rotate it in the direction of slab.Īnd then move it at the place of Cooktop according to layout. Now i will change to Top view of this kitchen model then take Rotate tool from tool panel.
For hiding wall i will again select this wall and then make right click to choose hide option from drop down list. Now i will place it anywhere on working screen first like this and change to x-ray mode.Īnd also hide side wall so that i can properly place this cooktop on slab. I will first search for kitchen cooktop here in the search box of this dialog box. The future of 3D design in landscape architecture is bright. For that, go to Window menu and click on 3D Warehouse option. Now let us have some 3D model of kitchen accessories from 3D Warehouse. Now i will add some height to it according to required dimensions.
Or also make a fresh area with line or rectangle tool like this. You can select this area with line tool on the layout plan. Now let us make slap area of this kitchen. Then make a rectangle in this area and push/pull it with push/pull tool. Then again mark height of window itself by the same way. For that i will mark height of this window from ground with the help of Tape measurement tool. Now i will make window at this area according to layout. If you want to unhide hidden objects then go to Edit menu and go to Unhide option of drop down list and choose All or Last. Now after making other section of wall i will make it group also by the same way as we did in previous. You can hide any drawn section for creating other components properly and for hiding component select that component then make right click and choose Hide option. So for making group make triple click on this wall and whole geometry of this wall will be selected then make right click on choose Make Group option. Once you done make sure you make group to the wall sections for separating it from other designed object. Now you can take Line tool for creating walls of this kitchen or rectangle tool for this purpose.Īfter creating it i will take Push/Pull tool and add height to this wall according to required dimensions. Now let us explode this image layout and for exploding it select it then make right click and choose Explode option.Īfter exploding it you can use it as base rectangle for this layout. Once you hit enter button it will ask you whether you want to scale it or not so click on Yes button of this pop up box.
