I created these in about 10 min. using sketch-up for the first time.

Can you tell me more about what is sketch-up...? Is it another software...?

thanks

for the 1st time out, that is one great looking presentation piece ! this is only pushing me to invest in Sketchup..good luck with it.

very nice work.

a lot of renderers use sketchup to get the base 3D model done then go over it with photoshop to colorize it and add landscaping.

Here are some more that I did over Lunch Today






Its starting to become adictive

I've been using Sketch-UP for residential project for several yaers with great success both as a drawing as with clients. I haven't drawn a from-scratch elevation in Datacad in atleast a year. I just massage the Sketch-up model through schematic, then import the flat hidden-line image into Datacad for final construction documents....and they've generally been right to the inch as I'm careful about the dimensions when I create the model. I just have to adjust the line weights nad plotter colors, and do some weld-lines. And I know that it actually works in real-world three dimensions.

It's also used in this office for bath and kitchen detailing where I need to show three-dimensional relationships. I occasionally use it for compolicated three-dimensional structural detailing since having a line-drawing in-perspective is more intuitive than ortho-projection.

Datacad and Sketch-Up are a create combination both for presentation and for construction drawings. (Especially as I have never gotten the hang of 3-d Datacad....)

Here, in Czech republik we sell SketchUp as very good complement to DataCAD, especially for architects, who feel himself more as artists then as draftsmans...
