SketchUp II:Advanced Modeling Techniques

This course will be a Design Media IV elective. This course will teach students modeling techniques beyond the basic features of Sketch Up. The Plugins that will be explored will permit users to draw surfaces from Bezier curves, produce and edit parametric geometry, as well as prepare models for rapid prototyping. The course will be a series of demonstrations and workshops where students will learn and practice the tools. The students will be asked to complete weekly exercises and one elaborate final project which demonstrates the ability to use Sketch Up Plugins for expanded capability of visual expression with Sketch Up.
