Google Sketchup

Hi people. This time, we learned how to use the system, Google Sketchup, to create an object.
This screenshots are the helpful viodeos you can find on the website: http://www.sketchup.google.com/

If you go to the education tap, you will find some helpful videios and you can learn how to create objects using varieties of tools such as components, point, erase, arc, freehand, rotate, measure, text, off set, navigation, and so on.
Here are some screenshots showing you how those tools work!



Creating Chairs in many ways
using varieties of tools that you can learn at the site

Using rotate tool

Using rotate tool


Using paint tool to add colors of the dimensions




Using offset tool




Using navitation tool

Using text 3D tool








Using arc tool



Using freehand tool



Using erase tool



Using component tool

I tool the screenshots most likely every fifteen minutes, so it might be confuse to understand the details from only looking at those screenshots. Actually visiting the website and learn through video would a lot more helpful to understand the all the materials.

I am currently taking the Immersive Education course at Boston College(MT358-Video game and virtual reality).
For more information please refer to the Immersive Education Talking Points file.
