Obviously IвЂ™m leaving out big chucks of modeling steps: stairs, windows, doors, roof (a few different kinds), decks, patios, driveways.

and was copied into its own model, where walls and additional floors are added. This modelВ startedВ directlyВ on the site plan. The next phase is the schematic design in SketchUp вЂ“ the low-detail massing model of the house. The authors also includeВ a nice bit on trees, with lots of helpful information on keeping the model low-poly and fast-moving. This project phaseВ includes importing from CAD, layer organization, geo-location, and the use of SketchUpвЂ™s Sandbox tools for the topography. The workflow starts, as youвЂ™d expect, with the site plan. Sounds complicated, but when you work through the steps, it makes perfect sense.

But by working in an organized fashion, Nick demonstrates how to separate the model into pieces: a site model, massing model, and models for sections, interior elevations, reflected roof, and details.

The key is working in several SketchUp models instead of just one. In a nutshell, this book lays outВ NickвЂ™s general method for creating the SketchUp model for this gorgeous house:ДЄnd the book shows how NickВ uses LayOut to create anВ entire set of construction documents for the house. Nick and MattвЂ™s book is more of a general how-to guide toВ NickвЂ™s specific workflow.

A few years back, he wrote this beginner-level book: Matt DonleyВ from Master SketchUpВ is also no stranger to SketchUp and LayOut either. (Seriously, have a look through his projects вЂ“ donвЂ™t you want to be able to do what NickВ does?) This book uses one case study to detail the workflow of architect Nick Sonder, who has been wowing the SketchUp community for years with hisВ videos detailing how he creates and documents his stunning projects. The new book, SketchUp and LayOut for Architecture,В was just released a few weeks ago, after many months of hard work.

This is the first of what I hope will be many book reviews here on the 3Daily Blog.
