ReflecGons  •  StarGng  to  use  SketchUp  was  very  excited    and  all  the  tools  turn  out  to  be  interesGng.  Since  the  dog  house  is  the  first  assignment,  I  took  a  liQle  extra  Gme  to  exploring.  It  took  about  three  hours  to  finished  the  dog  house.  

•  The  main  purpose  of  this  assignment  is  to  simply  use  SketchUp  to  give  form  to  the  iniGal  ideas  related  to  a  “doghouse”.  These  ideas  are  literal,  a  good  place  to  begin  before  incorporaGng  abstract  concepts  and  principles  into  SketchUp,  which  help  me  develop  criGcal  thinking.  

ReflecGons  Cont…  •  Tool  used:  select,  triangle,  measuring  box,  push/pull,  move  tool,  tape  measure,  pencil,  orbit,  follow  me,  scale,  color  and  zoom.  

•  2D  components  like  dogs  were  used  from  3D  warehouse  to  make  the  doghouse  looks  more  realisGc.  2D  dog  was  rescale  in  order  to  fit  the  doghouse  proporGonally.  Input  shadow  to  make  it  more  realisGc.

ReflecGons  •  In  this  assignment,  I  learned  about  component  and  how  to  use  that  tool  for  my  advantage.  I  was  able  to  create  a  secGon  of  the  handrail  and  used  component  to  create  the  rest  of  the  handrail  rather  then  doing  it  manually.  

•  CreaGng  the  steps  for  the  stairs  was  hard  because  there  are  many  steps  that  I  was  not  able  to  catch  on  in  the  beginning  but  follow  me  tools  and  component  make  it  easier.  Those  tools  allow  me

ReflecGons  •  AZer  all  the  tough  work  of  using  different  tools,  this  was  an  easy  yet  very  interesGng.  

•  We  mostly  used  the  rotate  and  protractor  tools  to  finish  the  project.  

•  It  took  me  about  2  hours  to  complete  this  along  with  adding  scenes  and  to  play  using  animaGon.  

•  I  used  dark  colors  for  the  planes  which  would  easily  blend  with  natural  sky  colors  

•  Adding  fog  and  shadow  give  the  structure  more  complexity  

ReflecGons  Cont…  •  Tool  used:  (View>tool  paleQes>large  tool  set)select,  rectangle,  push/pull,  offset,  tape  measuring,  follow  mw  tool,  arc,  line,  pencil,  zoom  extend,  move,  circle,  orbit,  pan,  axes,  scale,  paint  bucket.

ReflecGons  •  The  project  started  as  learning  how  to  trace  an  imported  image  to  SkecthUp  and  able  to  turn  it  into  a  3D  design.  I  really  enjoying  doing  this  project  because  it  give  me  lots  of  freedom  and  choices  to  design  the  structure  the  way  I  want.  

•  I  did  have  some  difficulGes  while  I  had  to  trace  the  2D  image,  or  merge  two  bodies,  or  make  them  into  a  group,  or  explore  them  later  but  the  whole  process  and  pervious  experiences  help  me  over  come  this  problem.  I  was  able  to  finish  enGre  structure  sooner  then  I  expected.    

ReflecGons  Cont…  •  Tool  used:  (View>tool  paleQes>large  tool  set)select,  rectangle,  push/pull,  offset,  tape  measuring,  follow  mw  tool,  arc,  line,  pencil,  zoom  extend,  move,  circle,  orbit,  pan,  axes,  scale,  paint  bucket  and  make  group.

ReflecGons  •  In  this  model,  we  get  to  learned  another  tool  “sand  box”  and  we  also  learn  how  to  intersect  faces    

•  The  sandbox  tool  give  a  natural  effect  to  the  model  especially  the  landscape  and  atmosphere.    

•  We  learnt  to  the  used  scratch  tool,  smoove  tool  and  stamp  

ReflecGon  Cont…  •  Week  aZer  week,  we  are  learning  many  different  tools,  which  usually  difficult  in  the  iniGal  stages  but  always  turn  out  fun  as  we  proceed.  Learning  different  tools  and  techniques  help  me  develop  more  complex  structures,  and  the  pracGce  makes  it  easier  to  work  on  complex  models.  

•  Tool  used:  (View>tool  paleQes>large  tool  set)select,  rectangle,  push/pull,  offset,  tape  measuring,  follow  mw  tool,  arc,  line,  pencil,  zoom  extend,  move,  circle,  orbit,  pan,  axes,  scale,  paint  bucket  and  make  group+  Sandbox>scratch>smoove>stamp.

Interior  Views    

ReflecGons  •  Making  the  model  was  fun,  but  going  around  the  house  with  measuring  tape  was  not.    

•  While  I  was  making  this  model,  I  feel  like  I’m  sGll  learning  but  I  was  able  to  use  more  tools  on  my  own.  I  find  difficult  to  intersect  two  different  models  to  make  it  whole,  but  the  guideline  help  to  know  exact  where  to  intersect.    

•  I  also  learn  how  make  windows  and  round  arches.  I  like  how  I’m  able  to  move  around  the  structure  and  insert  furniture's  which  resulted  my  basic  interior  design  of  the  house.    

ReflecGons  Cont…  •  I  took  some  Gme  to  pracGce  using  guideline  and  scale.  Even  though  it  hard  in  the  beginning  because  there  are  so  many  lines  from  every  direcGons  but  it  help  with  accuracy  and  it  guide  me  where  to  put  or  intersect  the  models.    

•  Tool  used:  (View>tool  paleQes>large  tool  set)select,  rectangle,  push/pull,  offset,  tape  measuring,  follow  mw  tool,  arc,  line,  pencil,  zoom  extend,  move,  circle,  orbit,  pan,  axes,  scale,  paint  bucket.

ReflecGons    •  The  main  idea  of  this  project  was  to  use  2D  image  and  create  a  3D  structure  around  it  with  available  real  photograph  of  site,  using  photomatch.  

•  With  liQle  details  available  in  the  pictures,  with  no  measurement  details,  a  scaled  structure  was  designed  using  the  vanishing  points  and  the  photomatch  tool  by  imporGng  a  2D  picture  of  Rin  house  gallery  

•  The  challenges  were  while  designing  the  hidden  walls  and  voids.  As  we  didn’t  know  its  placements  or  measurements,  it  affected  the  engineering  of  the  building  and  let  us  play  with  our  imaginaGon.  

ReflecGons  Cont...  •  This  helps  us  design  any  structure  by  imporGng  a  2D  image  and  by  using  the  photomatch  tool  though  it  may  not  be  accurate  in  its  real  measurements  but  close  to  it  in  scale.

ReflecGons  •  Similar  to  measuring  the  interior  study  and  designing  the  same  using  dimensions  and  working  with  all  the  detailing,  I  designed  this  model  as  a  part  of  he  final  project  with  many  details  on  both  interior  and  exterior  aspect,  making  it  more  complex  and  using  all  the  knowledge  of  SketchUp  tools  kit  learnt  through  this  semester.  

•  During  this  final  project,  I  was  given  lots  of  ideas  and  suggesGons  to  create  the  final  piece.  I  have  some  difficulGes  creaGng  the  second  stories  of  the  cabin  because  there  was  not  enough  space  to  create  an  walk  in  closet  

ReflecGons  Cont  •  The  kitchen  is  where  I  had  most  difficulGes.  Since  I  choose  the  theme  for  this  cabin  is  to  made  out  of  glass,  I  decided  to  make  the  ceiling  of  the  kitchen  out  of  glass  so  that  from  the  bed  room,  you  can  look  down  to  the  kitchen  through  the  glass  ceiling.  The  idea  of  looking  through  a  plasGc  water  to  see  another  object  place  in  front  of  it  give  me  the  inspiraGon  to  create  the  kitchen  ceiling.  

SLO 1: Create accurate drawings that communicate simple architectural design intentions.

Apply  graphic  convenGons  and  standards  appropriately   Using SketchUp tools such as camera really help me develop my knowledge in using different elevation such as top elevation, front and back and views in isometric as well

Relate  each  drawing  within  a  set  to  each  other  to  fully  describe  significant  aspects  of  a  design  from  the  general  to  the  specific  

As each exercises I did through out the semester, each one build upon another to give me an understanding of the use of each tools and how those tools allow me to built a 3D model

Demonstrate  a  correspondence  between  the  design  intenGons  to  be  communicated  and  the  graphic  representaGons  produced  to  communicate  them  

Produce  drawing  that  are  readable  and  meaningful  to  others  

Although I did not draw any drawing but I learned different value of each exercise and use it on my next project

SLO 2: Analyze the specific intentions communicated by analog and digital modes of graphic communication.

Identify the intended message(s) behind the graphic communication, whether produced by analog or digital means

My intension behind each project/model was to show the audience that I have develop and applied the skills that I learned to create a desired model

Assess the integrity of the message(s) – identify the strengths and weaknesses of the represented intentions 3 Assess the efficacy of the related graphic representa-tion(s) 3 Propose enhancements to what is being graphically communicated 2
