Sketchup companion for house (re)modelingĪll right, here is the one (and only) grudge I have against Sketchup: it does not have a native linux client.Rule #5: Clean-up/heal the surfaces as you go.Rule #3: Using groups and components everywhere.I initially wanted to test it as a simple visual support to remodel one room, and 100 hours later I ended up having modelled the whole house, with every room and associated furniture, plus outdoor areas. Warning: Sketchup can turn out to be quite addictive. ![]() ![]() I am using the free (as in beer) version currently called Sketchup Make, which is more than enough as far as I am concerned. Obviously there are loads of excellent Sketchup tutorials out there (hint: watch all of the official ones one the sketchup site, and you’re all set), but this just captures the core knowledge that suits my personal (very limited) use of the tool. Where Sketchup really shines is its ability to be used by a very wide range of users, from enthusiastic newbies like myself that only need to model a few things once in a while and don’t want to invest hundreds of hours into learning an “old-school” 3D modeler, to professional architects and designers using it in their daily workflow. ![]() ![]() Below are a few notes about basic usage of the Sketchup 3D modeler, mostly as a quick refresher for myself whenever my 3D modeling itch needs scratching, every 6 months or so.
