Introduction Our 7th grade unit requires our students to create their dream zoo through an engaging and creative curriculum. Out unit will begin with a field trip to the Fort Worth Zoo where students can take note on the layout of the zoo as well the animals that are in the zoo. This will give them an example to refer to when constructing their own zoo. The students will discuss the layout of the zoo and create a map of their own zoo. As the week progresses the students will be learning about the different types of animals and the biomes they live in in science. Math and English will expand on the information they learn in science through hands on activities as well as using material that pertain to the lessons in science. As the students create their dream zoo, the will be putting together a final presentation in Technology. Among other projects, they will be creating an advertisement flyer, dealing with the budget for the zoo and putting together a proposal for their zoo. On the last day, our students will present their zoo proposals to the four teachers and their classmates. We will be playing the roles of mayors from four different cities who are considering building the students zoo in our city.

Description of Learners Our Team consists of four teachers and eighty students. Our students spend the first twenty minutes of their day in their homeroom class. They will have a short advisory period along with announcements. At 8:15 am, their content classes begin. Students rotate through all of their content classes each day along with electives. The learning abilities and styles of our students vary slightly. Most of our eighty students learning abilities are within their grade level. We have about 12% of ELL students and only two of these students are recent transfers with limited English. We have two students that are functioning autistic and three other special education students that have more severe disabilities that require a special aide. The rules will be clearly defined for all students but special emphasis will be given to the special education students so they are clear on what the expected of them. At the beginning of every six weeks, the team will discuss any IEPâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s of studentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s within our team and any accommodations needed for each classroom. The eighty students will be split up into four groups of twenty. In each class, there is a small portion of English Language Learners and students with disabilities. In our classes we have students that excel and can help others. We will make sure that these students are split amongst the groups so they can assist the other students if needed. We will not be grouping all students with same learning levels together so we can ensure success for everyone.

X X We used a simple questionnaire as a pre assessment of our students in order to see how much pervious knowledge the student had about the topic that we are about to cover. It is important to see how much our students know so that we can build our lessons to go off the knowledge they already have and figure out how to expand that knowledge.

Pre-Assessment 1. Have you ever been to the zoo?

2. What was your favorite part?

3. What animals do you remember seeing in the zoo?

4. Is there any questions that you have about the zoo or the animals in the zoo?

101

The Raven Edgar Allan Poe Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered weak and weary, Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore, While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping, As of someone gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door. `'Tis some visitor,' I muttered, `tapping at my chamber door Only this, and nothing more.' Ah, distinctly I remember it was in the bleak December, And each separate dying ember wrought its ghost upon the floor. Eagerly I wished the morrow; - vainly I had sought to borrow From my books surcease of sorrow - sorrow for the lost Lenore For the rare and radiant maiden whom the angels named Lenore Nameless here for evermore. And the silken sad uncertain rustling of each purple curtain Thrilled me - filled me with fantastic terrors never felt before; So that now, to still the beating of my heart, I stood repeating `'Tis some visitor entreating entrance at my chamber door Some late visitor entreating entrance at my chamber door; This it is, and nothing more,' Presently my soul grew stronger; hesitating then no longer, `Sir,' said I, `or Madam, truly your forgiveness I implore; But the fact is I was napping, and so gently you came rapping, And so faintly you came tapping, tapping at my chamber door, That I scarce was sure I heard you' - here I opened wide the door; Darkness there, and nothing more. Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there wondering, fearing, Doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before; But the silence was unbroken, and the darkness gave no token, And the only word there spoken was the whispered word, `Lenore!'

102

This I whispered, and an echo murmured back the word, `Lenore!' Merely this and nothing more. Back into the chamber turning, all my soul within me burning, Soon again I heard a tapping somewhat louder than before. `Surely,' said I, `surely that is something at my window lattice; Let me see then, what thereat is, and this mystery explore Let my heart be still a moment and this mystery explore; 'Tis the wind and nothing more!' Open here I flung the shutter, when, with many a flirt and flutter, In there stepped a stately raven of the saintly days of yore. Not the least obeisance made he; not a minute stopped or stayed he; But, with mien of lord or lady, perched above my chamber door Perched upon a bust of Pallas just above my chamber door Perched, and sat, and nothing more. Then this ebony bird beguiling my sad fancy into smiling, By the grave and stern decorum of the countenance it wore, `Though thy crest be shorn and shaven, thou,' I said, `art sure no craven. Ghastly grim and ancient raven wandering from the nightly shore Tell me what thy lordly name is on the Night's Plutonian shore!' Quoth the raven, `Nevermore.' Much I marvelled this ungainly fowl to hear discourse so plainly, Though its answer little meaning - little relevancy bore; For we cannot help agreeing that no living human being Ever yet was blessed with seeing bird above his chamber door -

103

Bird or beast above the sculptured bust above his chamber door, With such name as `Nevermore.' But the raven, sitting lonely on the placid bust, spoke only, That one word, as if his soul in that one word he did outpour. Nothing further then he uttered - not a feather then he fluttered Till I scarcely more than muttered `Other friends have flown before On the morrow he will leave me, as my hopes have flown before.' Then the bird said, `Nevermore.' Startled at the stillness broken by reply so aptly spoken, `Doubtless,' said I, `what it utters is its only stock and store, Caught from some unhappy master whom unmerciful disaster Followed fast and followed faster till his songs one burden bore Till the dirges of his hope that melancholy burden bore Of "Never-nevermore."' But the raven still beguiling all my sad soul into smiling, Straight I wheeled a cushioned seat in front of bird and bust and door; Then, upon the velvet sinking, I betook myself to linking Fancy unto fancy, thinking what this ominous bird of yore What this grim, ungainly, ghastly, gaunt, and ominous bird of yore Meant in croaking `Nevermore.' This I sat engaged in guessing, but no syllable expressing To the fowl whose fiery eyes now burned into my bosom's core; This and more I sat divining, with my head at ease reclining On the cushion's velvet lining that the lamp-light gloated o'er, But whose velvet violet lining with the lamp-light gloating o'er, She shall press, ah, nevermore! Then, methought, the air grew denser, perfumed from an unseen censer Swung by Seraphim whose foot-falls tinkled on the tufted floor. `Wretch,' I cried, `thy God hath lent thee - by these angels he has sent thee Respite - respite and nepenthe from thy memories of Lenore! Quaff, oh quaff this kind nepenthe, and forget this lost Lenore!' Quoth the raven, `Nevermore.' `Prophet!' said I, `thing of evil! - prophet still, if bird or devil! Whether tempter sent, or whether tempest tossed thee here ashore, Desolate yet all undaunted, on this desert land enchanted On this home by horror haunted - tell me truly, I implore Is there - is there balm in Gilead? - tell me - tell me, I implore!' Quoth the raven, `Nevermore.' `Prophet!' said I, `thing of evil! - prophet still, if bird or devil! By that Heaven that bends above us - by that God we both adore Tell this soul with sorrow laden if, within the distant Aidenn, It shall clasp a sainted maiden whom the angels named Lenore Clasp a rare and radiant maiden, whom the angels named Lenore?' Quoth the raven, `Nevermore.' `Be that word our sign of parting, bird or fiend!' I shrieked upstarting `Get thee back into the tempest and the Night's Plutonian shore! Leave no black plume as a token of that lie thy soul hath spoken! Leave my loneliness unbroken! - quit the bust above my door! Take thy beak from out my heart, and take thy form from off my door!' Quoth the raven, `Nevermore.' And the raven, never flitting, still is sitting, still is sitting On the pallid bust of Pallas just above my chamber door; And his eyes have all the seeming of a demon's that is dreaming, And the lamp-light o'er him streaming throws his shadow on the floor; And my soul from out that shadow that lies floating on the floor Shall be lifted - nevermore!

Zoolapalooza Introduction to the project

Introduction • The purpose of this project is to create a magazine (ISSUU) proposal to present at the town hall meeting. Your fellow peers will be the towns people, and the mayor will be your teacher. Your groups will be creating different aspects of the zoo in o Glogster: Flyer & Advertisement o Prezi: Animal Research o Googledocs: Homework Chats, File Sharing ! PPT for research of animals ! Excel for budget (Expenses and Income) ! Word for proposal / outline o Google Sketch Up: Layout / Map of Zoo o ISSUU: for final presentation

Glogster Flyer for announcement of town meeting & Advertisements

Glogster • Students would have previous knowledge on how to make a glogster. • Do a quick example, and students have 20 minutes to complete. • These will be done individually, and each group members flyer will be put into the ISSUU o if they do not complete it then, it becomes homework

Title Page:

Mammals, Birds, Amphibians, Reptiles, etc.

Research Of Animals Making Powerpoints & a Prezi Animals: habitats, food, behavior, fun facts

• List of the animals that fall into this category.

Animal Name

Prezi

• Mammal, Bird, Amphibian, etc. • Habitat: o list what type of habitat the animal lives in • Food: o Carnivore, herbivore, omnivore o Types of things it eats • Behaviors of animals o if you can find them - do they stay in packs or do they like to be alone • Fun Facts About Animal o at least 3-4

• Upload powerpoints into the prezi, and start formatting them how you want them. • Save prezi as pdf so that you can put it into the ISSUU • Also, put the link in for the prezi • ** MAKE SURE: to save it single slides, so that you can truly arrange them how you desire.

Budget

Budget Expenses & Income

• You need to decide whether or not you are going to have a small, medium, or large zoo. • You need to make your own expense sheet o Create an EXCEL document that calculates the budget ! In the EXCEL document you need to make sure you label what you are describe what the price is ! subtracts from your budget for expenses ! adds to your profit for income o At the end, you will write a paragraph in your reflection paper over your budget. Explain if your budget made sense and worked, and talk about any changes you would make if you made the budget again.

Zoo Layout

Zoo Layout Google Sketch Up

• Students will go into the 3D pictures, and find enclosures that have already been made by other members of sketch up. o One good person to look at is zooenterprises • They will create their zoo map out of these enclosures, they may also add trees and what not. • Also, teach students how to make basic models. • Can save the Sketch Up as a pdf to put into the ISSUU

ISSUU Creating a magazine for the presentation

ISSUU • The ISSUU will be posted in the class blog so it needs to be done neatly and correctly. • *** IT IS IMPORTANT THAT YOU PAY ATTENTION WHEN WE GO OVER WHAT TO DO IN ISSUU • ISSUU example: • http://issuu.com/chelseat1818/docs/ ppt_for_prezi_to_students? mode=window&backgroundColor=%23222222

(15 min) Teacher goes over research On Your Mark • Demonstrate examples of the power points Sweat The Details • (20 min) Groups decide what their “kingdom” names are going to be, and what animals are going to Break It Down be going into those said kingdoms. • Groups will assign individual members slides to do over research • Make sure slides are not boring, make them interesting to look at • The group leader will create a “presentation” document in google docs for each group member to do their research in. • Each group member will create their own power point in google docs for their assigned animals. • * Make sure your “sharing” your document • Each group memberʼs power point will be put into the ISSUU separately, so teachers can grade individual research, and participation of students. • At the end of the research portion, the leader will combine powerpoints into one document, and the group leader will save it under the “presentations” (under google docs) portion of their desktop folders. • (60 min) Groups start research • Powerpoint slides include: • Animal name & number of that animal going to be in the zoo • Habitat : where it is from, and what type of environment it lives in • Food: what type of food it eats • Animal behaviors: does it travel in a pack or individually, are they sociable Extensions: Students will not finish early, and if they are able to finish all their research in one day, then they need to go back to their power point and add video, sounds, and graphics to them. Modifications: For students with special needs, I will be monitoring their progress with the concept closely, and will help when it is needed; giving the students individual attention necessary for them to master the concept. Based on my judgements of how well they are grasping the outcomes given for the day, I will determine whether or not they need to go to the content mastery lab for further assistance.

Day Three Candidate Name: Chelsea Tramel

Content/Grade: 7th Technology

Lesson Topic: Research & Prezi

CT:

Stage 1 – Desired Results Goals/Learning Outcomes: Students will continue to work in online collaboration resources, and finish powerpoints individually. Students will upload the powerpoints into a prezi, and as a group modify the prezi for the blog presentation to the parents. TEKS: 5(c) 8(a)(b)(c) Essential Questions: • How is it useful to know how to upload a powerpoint into a prezi? • In what ways could a prezi be used? In what ways is it beneficial?

Stage 2 – Assessment Evidence Performance Tasks: • Students will upload their groups power points into a prezi, and then create “polish” prezi presentation (make it look neat, organized, and professional as it will be displayed for parents to see on classroom blog) • Students will upload the final prezi presentation into the classroom blog. • Use google chat and email with circle group in google docs to communicate with group members

Stage 3 – Learning Plan/Procedures Description:

TLAC

(45 min) Groups continue research Circulate (5 min) Teacher goes over how to upload the powerpoint document and a you tube video into a Do It Again prezi. • Due to some inappropriate content on youtube, the teacher will just demonstrate how upload it into prezi. • (40 min) Prezi • http://prezi.com/lhauvdutthdv/zoolapalooza/ • Once groups have uploaded everyoneʼs document into the prezi, the group leader will email everyone the link , so they may all edit it. • The prezi should have some order to it, and should not skip around from one kingdom to another, it should stay in one kingdom, and then move on to another kingdom. • When done with it, the group will post it into the classroom blog. • All students will have the username and password to the blog, this way they take part in keeping parents informed. Extensions: Teacher will make sure students power points have color and are engaging, neat, organized, and look professional. If in prezi presentation, slides do not look engaging, students will need to go back to their power points and add to them, and then re-upload into the prezi. If all is done correctly, then groups will communicate via google chat circle (no talking allowed), and begin brainstorming on what types of things they will want to have in their zoo. Students will open budget and see the types of things they can have in zoo. Modifications: For students with special needs, I will be monitoring their progress with the concept closely, and will help when it is needed; giving the students individual attention necessary for them to master the concept. Based on my judgements of how well they are grasping the outcomes given for the day, I will determine whether or not they need to go to the content mastery lab for further assistance. • •

Stage 1 – Desired Results Goals/Learning Outcomes: Students will learn about expenses and incomes in the budget. Each student will write down ten things they would like to have in their zoo; two ideas from each student must be put into the group budget. Students will use appropriate document (excel) in google docs for budget, and it will be organized, labeled correctly, and have correct formulas. TEKS: 7(b)(c) Essential Questions: • In what ways/how would you use a budget in your personal life right now? In jobs? As an adult? • How can a spreadsheet be used to evaluate and analyze data? Students will know … Students will be able to … Students will understand that … • Will understand the different formulas to use in making a simple budget • Understand how to label, organize, and know how to input formulas on a spreadsheet • Know how to plan, create, and edit databases by defining fields, entering data, and designing the appropriate layout for reporting said information. • Be able to collaborate with group members through google, todaysmeet, and email.

Stage 2 – Assessment Evidence Performance Tasks: • Each student writes down their 10 ideas for the zoo • Group leader creates excel document in google docs • Group plans, creates, and edits database they have created • Group defines the fields, enters data correctly, and designs a professional and organized layout. • Students create a pie chart of their expenses and incomes. • Group collaboratively decides “fields” they would like to put in their zoo, including two ideas from each group member. • Groups collaborate through google, email, and todaysmeet (class questions and communication)

Stage 3 – Learning Plan/Procedures Description: TLAC • (20 min) Groups finish Prezi presentations Format Matters • (10 min) Go over budget Check For Understanding • List of animals • https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc? key=0Agd0zN3C7lHedFpmU1pVRE11QnZoYm02WjNGaUt4bHc&hl=en_US#gid=0 • Expenses & Income Budget • https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc? key=0Agd0zN3C7lHedFZoWUlHQzhiWHcwdFRELTRjMmZjeVE&hl=en_US#gid=0 • (10 min) Each individual student will write down what things they would like to have in their zoo, and then the group will collaborate about what will actually be put into the zoo. • The group must use at least 2 ideas from each student in the group. • (50 min) Groups start budget • Group leader should create the excel document in google docs. • ** Groups need to make sure they update their budget if they do assignments for more money, and decide to purchase something for their zoo. • The document should be labeled correctly, organized, and have the formulas for automatically adding subtracting from the budget. • Students would have learned how to do this in the previous unit. • Give an example of what it should look like. Teacher will share the template with the group circles on google docs • When budget is complete, groups will create a pie chart of expenses. Extensions: Students can choose from extra money assignment page to do an assignment for more money. Modifications: For students with special needs, I will be monitoring their progress with the concept closely, and will help when it is needed; giving the students individual attention necessary for them to master the concept. Based on my judgements of how well they are grasping the outcomes given for the day, I will determine whether or not they need to go to the content mastery lab for further assistance.

Lesson Topic: Budget & Layout of Zoo in Sketch Up

CT:

Stage 1 – Desired Results Goals/Learning Outcomes: Students will continue to demonstrate knowledge on budget content covered from the previous day. Students will learn about Google Sketch Up, and be able to create a three dimensional zoo layout. Students will learn how to use tools (painting, drawing, and modification tools) draw three dimensional houses, and make landscapes. TEKS: 7(b)(c)(d)(f) Essential Questions: • In what ways/when could you use Sketch Up in your life right now? College? Future jobs? • What are the different tools/graphic tools that you can use in Sketch Up, and what is their purpose (how do you use them)? Students will know … Students will be able to … Students will understand that … • Know how to plan, create, and edit databases by defining fields, entering data, and designing the appropriate layout for reporting said information. • Students will understand the different ways Sketch Up can be used • Will know how to create a 3D building in Sketch Up • Will know how to use the file menu, edit menu, tools menu, drawing menu, window menu, google menu • File Menu: new, open, save, save as, save a copy as, revert, export, import, print set up, print preview, print, recently opened, exit • Edit Menu: undo, redo, cut, copy, paste, erase, select all, deselect all, hide, unhide, construction geometry, lock, unlock, make component, make group, close group/component, intersect with model, entity commands sub-menu • View Menu: toolbars, hidden geometry, section planes, section cuts, axes, shadows, component edit, page tabs, tour guide, • Camera Menu: previous, standard, perspective, field of view, orbit, pan, zoom, zoom window, zoom extents, position camera, walk, look around • Drawing Menu: line, arc, freehand, rectangle, circle, polygon, • Tools Menu: select, eraser, paint bucket, move, rotate, scale, push/pull, follow me, offset, tape measure, protractor, axes, dimensions, text, section plane, utilities • Window Menu: model info, entity info, materials browser, material editor, components, layers, pages, display settings, shadow settings, soften edges, outliner, instructor, preferences, hide/show dialogs, ruby console • Google Menu: get current view, toggle terrain, place model, get models, share models

Stage 2 – Assessment Evidence Performance Tasks: • Students will go to the class blog, and open the Sketch Up guide • Students will listen as I give the lesson over Sketch Up. • Students will practice when instructed to do certain tasks by me during the lesson. • Students create enclosures and building in Sketch Up

Stage 3 – Learning Plan/Procedures Description: • •

TLAC

(20 min) Students will continue to work on their budget Shortest Path (50 min) Teacher will begin to go over Sketch Up Format Matters • Students will practice concepts when I allow time during the lesson Break It Down • The teacher will post the pdf to the Sketch Up Guide on the class blog. Tight Transitions • Students will use this as a reference after lecture • (20 min) Students get to play on Sketch Up Extensions: Students will continue to play in Sketch Up to “get a feel” for the program. They will create different structures, and continue to do so until the end of class. Any structures done, must be saved under the Sketch Up portion of their desktop folder, and saved in the pdf format. Modifications: For students with special needs, I will be monitoring their progress with the concept closely, and will help when it is needed; giving the students individual attention necessary for them to master the concept. Based on my judgements of how well they are grasping the outcomes given for the day, I will determine whether or not they need to go to the content mastery lab for further assistance.

***For Teacher Use During Lesson*** How To Sketch Up For Kids • • •

•

Watch intro video over sketch up. Tell students about the index page about the buttons Demonstrate how to draw a building, and then how to draw a roof, and make it 3D. • Draw a rectangle, and draw another rectangle inside it. • Pull up the rectangle on the inside • This only works on flat surfaces, demonstrate how they can pull the sides of buildings out tops, etc. • Get the pencil, and draw a line from one midpoint to another of the rectangle (program will tell you once you hit the midpoint) • Grab the 4 way arrow and click on the line you just drew and pull up on it to create a roof. Demonstrate how to Draw the outline of the landscape • You can draw rectangle, circles, hexagons, on top of each other • Take the eraser and erase the lines inside of the figure. • To erase something simply click on the line or text that you want to erase. You can also hold down your mouse and scroll over and highlight multiple lines to erase. • This gives you the outline layout of your landscape • Draw figures inside, and push and pull them out, • Use the paint feature to paint the land layout the color you want *** Show 3D downloader • Click on the box in the right corner with the yellow arrow. • Type in the figure that you want, zoo, elephant, tiger, etc. • This will bring up animals and sometimes enclosures. You may use these enclosures in your layout of your zoo, as well as the animals. • You may also get trees and plants from this place as well. I want you to be creative, but this can get time consuming, so I want you to utilize your time wisely. • I only want you to create one enclosure of your zoo, I do not care if you use other enclosures that other people made, just make sure you cite them, and give them credit for their work. (state the username, and name of layout) Use the ABC button to create signs for enclosures and restaurants • Click ABC button • Click on place that you want sign, type in name, and click enter. • This labels things. • I want at least the names of the sections in the zoo, not necessarily the animals • I only want 5 animals labeled, and if you have animals in the building, I want to know what type of animals are in the building. • Example: insects building, this is all I’m looking for.

• Below is what I will be demonstrating to the kids

Concepts This section of the user's guide covers the numerous 3D design and SketchUp concepts found within the product and in the user community. This section was primarily written for users who are new to 3D modeling or SketchUp. Note - This section does not cover how to do something in SketchUp, but covers important concepts necessary to model in 3D.

This section is organized into the following topics: x

Designing in Sketchup - Introduces you to the basic concepts behind drawing accurately in SketchUp.

Drawing Quickly - Introduces you to SketchUp tools and concepts necessary to draw quickly.

Viewing Models in 3D - Presents the concept of the camera and manipulation of a model in 3D space.

Adding Detail to Your Models - Introduces you to mechanisms to quickly add realism to your SketchUp models.

Presenting Your Models - Presents concepts related to the presentation of your models to clients.

Modeling Terrain and Organic Shapes - Presents concepts related to working with mesh tools to create both terrain and organic shapes.

ÂŠGoogle Inc. 2006

SketchUp User's Guide

Designing in SketchUp SketchUp models are fundamentally created by joining lines as the edges of the model. Faces are automatically created when any three or more lines or edges are in the same plane (an infinite flat 2D space), or coplanar, and form a closed loop. These edge and face combinations are combined to create 3D models. The following image shows three unconnected coplanar lines. These lines were drawn with the Line Tool (this tool looks like a pencil).

The following image shows four connected coplanar lines and the subsequently created flat, 2 dimensional, face.

Note - Everything you draw in SketchUp is generically referred to as geometry. To create a 3D model, simply draw up or down in the blue direction (parallel to the blue axes). The coordinate system (axes) is covered later in this section. The following image shows the first line created in 3D space.

As you continue to draw lines, following the colored axes, faces are created. The following image shows three faces created simply by drawing lines parallel to the three axes directions (red, green, and blue). ÂŠGoogle Inc. 2006

Page 10

Concepts

There is one line left to draw to finish a 3 dimensional box. Notice that when this one line is drawn in, two faces are created (the top and front faces).

You can do a lot in SketchUp simply by drawing lines to form faces using the Line Tool. And, you can draw lines starting anywhere (on another line, on a face, at a point, and so on). Can you recognize the previous 3D box within the model of the following house?

ÂŠGoogle Inc. 2006

Page 11

6/16/2006

SketchUp User's Guide

Look around the room you are in. Notice how everything you look at has faces. Some faces might be rounded, some might be flat. Additionally, everything has edges that bound the face, such as the edge of a shelf in a bookshelf. Note - SketchUp is not the same as Computer Assisted Design or CAD. CAD applications are designed specifically for representing concrete information, while SketchUp is for exploration and design of concepts and ideas (though you are not prohibited from designing models that are as concrete or accurate as those designed in CAD). SketchUp files can be imported into several different CAD applications for further processing and several different CAD files can be imported into SketchUp to quickly create 3D models.

Introduction to Entities As mentioned previously, lines are combined to create faces in SketchUp. Lines (also called edges) and faces, are just two of the many building blocks (called entities) used for creating models in SketchUp. A full list of SketchUp entities follows. Name

Notes

Line

Lines in SketchUp are straight. Lines, also referred to as edges, are the most basic building block for all SketchUp models.

Face

Faces are created automatically when three or more coplanar edges form a closed loop. Faces have a front side and a back side. SketchUp attempts to put the front side of all faces on the outside (facing out) of all of your models, though sometime you might have to tell SketchUp the direction for your faces.

Circle

Circle, arcs, and curves are comprised of several lines or edges.

The SketchUp Coordinate Systems SketchUp uses a 3D coordinate system whereby points in space are identified by position along three drawing axes: plus or minus X, Y, and Z (above ground/below ground) values. In SketchUp, plus or minus X is represented by solid red and dotted red lines respectively; plus or minus Y are represented by a solid green and dotted green axis lines respectively; plus or minus Z (above and below the ground plane) are represented by solid blue and dotted blue lines respectively. The plane where the red and green axes lines lie is called the ground plane. Finally, the term origin, is used to define the place where all of axes lines start or originate. The following image shows the drawing axes in SketchUp (the lines have been thickened to make the axes easier to read). The black circle represents the origin.

Understanding SketchUp’s coordinate system is important because SketchUp’s inference engine (explained next) provides you help with drawing accurately.

SketchUp User's Guide

Following the Inference Engine SketchUp has an invisible inference engine to help you draw accurate and realistic models. The inference engine locates or infers points from other points in your model, such as the center of a circle, the midpoint of a line, a line that is perpendicular to the ground plane, a point on a face, a point on an edge, and so on. SketchUp notifies you of these points by using both color indicators and tool tips, which are onscreen messages indicating the location of the cursor as you draw an entity. For example, SketchUp displays the string â&#x20AC;&#x153;On Face" when the cursor is touching a face. The following image contains five common inference tool tips.

Additional information on the inference engine, including inference types, is in the User Interface section of this guide. The first step to drawing in SketchUp is to learn how to draw accurately by following the cues of the inference engine. Simply select the Line Tool (it looks like a pencil in the toolbar) and start drawing. Pay attention to the on-screen tool tips from the inference engine as you draw. Most everything you will create in SketchUp can be created by inference using the Line Tool. You can move on to learning how to draw quickly after you master using the inference engine. = Functionality only available in SketchUp Pro

Concepts

Drawing Quickly As mentioned in the Design in SketchUp topic, you can use the Line Tool and the inference engine, to draw just about anything in SketchUp. It is recommended that you use the Line Tool and inference engine to create your initial models. Tip - Learn to draw accurately before you learn to draw quickly and you will master SketchUp in a shorter amount of time. SketchUp implements several concepts which you will use to help you draw quickly. These are dividing and healing, pushing and pulling, sticky geometry, autofold, and intersections.

Dividing and Healing Geometry Some tools speed up design dramatically by allowing you to perform modifications on existing geometry. For example, the Line Tool allows you to split faces and edges to create additional independent faces and edges. Simply divide the face or edge with another edge. This concept is similar to cutting a piece of paper in half and having two separate remaining pieces. The following image shows how two faces are created when dividing the face with a line. Notice the image on the left has one solid top face, while the image on the right has two independent faces when split with a line. Note that the dividing line does not cut through the model from top to bottom, but just cuts the top face in half.

The following image shows how the edges at each end of the face have been split to create additional edges. Note four edges bounding the face in the left image, while four edges bounding each of two faces in the image on the right (the middle edge being common to both top faces).

ÂŠGoogle Inc. 2006

Page 15

6/16/2006

SketchUp User's Guide

If you remove the line that shared by the two faces in the image on the right, the two faces will be glued back together or healed back into one face. It is common in SketchUp to perform these dividing and healing operations to your model.

Pushing and Pulling The Push/Pull Tool allows you to take any non-curved face in SketchUp and push it away or pull it toward a starting point (these operations are also referred to as extrusions). Pushing is the process of reshaping a portion of your model by shrinking the portion away from its starting point and along a single axis. The following image shows the right-most face of the split face (shown earlier) pushed down toward the ground plane.

In the previous image, there are eight faces that can be pushed, can you find them (some are hidden out of view)? Pulling is the process of expanding a portion of your model away from the starting point along a single axis. The following image shows the same face having been pulled up toward the sky. Any face in SketchUp can be pushed and pulled (with some minor limitations).

ÂŠGoogle Inc. 2006

6/16/2006

Concepts

In both of the images, the left side of the cube remained the same size, while the right side was pushed and pulled (shrunk and expanded) independently. The Push/Pull Tool is one of the most commonly used tools in SketchUp to add the sense of volume to your model.

Manipulating Connected Faces Geometry in SketchUp is sticky meaning that it can be manipulated (skewed, distorted, or folded) by selecting an edge or face and moving the edge or face with the Move Tool (causing all entities attached or "stuck" to the edge or face to move too). Following are three examples of sticky geometry in SketchUp: 1. The following image shows a line dividing the top face of a box being moved up with a Move Tool. The faces that were connected to the middle line followed the line as it was moved to create a roof-like effect.

2. The following image shows the left-most top face being moved down in the blue direction. This action causes the left-most top face to angle to create a slant on one side.

SketchUp User's Guide

3. Finally, the following image shows the left-most top-edge being moved to the left. The model is skewed into a trapazoid-like shape.

Be sure to use the Move Tool to grab and move edges and faces while you begin to experiment with modeling in SketchUp. Tip - Experimentation and play is highly important in learning how to draw in SketchUp! Learn how to draw accurately first, then learn how to draw quickly using the concepts in this portion of the user's guide.

Autofold Faces must remain planar at all times in SketchUp. Therefore, SketchUp will Autofold, or score, faces as necessary to accommodate any operation that will result in warped faces.

In the left-most image above, a six-sided polygon volume's top face (created with the Polygon Tool followed by the Push/Pull Tool) was rotated using Rotate Tool. Because of SketchUp's sticky nature, the sides of the shape, which share common edges with the top face, twisted and folded with the rotate operation (right-most image).

ÂŠGoogle Inc. 2006

Page 18

6/16/2006

Concepts What you are not seeing is that SketchUp has created hidden geometry when performing this Autofold operation. The following image shows the 3 dimensional shape with the hidden geometry shown (dotted lines). Notice that each twisted faces are actually comprised of two triangular faces.

Intersections (Boolean Operations) SketchUp allows you to easily create complex geometry by intersecting two geometrical forms, such as a box and a tube, creating new edges where the elements intersect, merging the geometry, and subtracting parts of the combined geometry.

In the left-most image above, a cylinder shape was moved into a cube shape. Notice, that no lines appear where the two shapes intersect, indicating that the shapes have not truly merged. A special tool, called the Intersect with Model Tool, is used to create intersection lines (the middle image), merging the two shapes together to form one new shape. Finally, the cylinder shape is deleted (using the eraser tool on the cylinder's edges) and because the intersection lines were created, the resulting curved face is left within the cube creating a new complex geometrical shape (right image).

SketchUp Tools Most entities in SketchUp, including arcs and circles, are actually just a combination of small lines or edges. Thankfully, you do not have to use only the Line Tool to sketch your models. ÂŠGoogle Inc. 2006

Page 19

6/16/2006

SketchUp User's Guide Instead, SketchUp provides many other tools to help you draw quickly. Some of these tools are for creating common entities such as a circle, arc, polygon, or freehand line. Other tools allow you to quickly draw complex models by modifying your models (splitting, skewing, and even merging geometry together). Tools in SketchUp are divided into five categories: principal tools (tools that are used a lot to select and modify geometry), drawing tools (tools used to create geometry), modification tools (tools used to modify existing geometry), construction tools (tools used to create construction lines or points, and document your model), camera tools (tools used to view geometry; discussed later), and walkthrough tools (tools to explore your model).

SketchUp User's Guide

Viewing Models in 3 Dimensions SketchUp implements the concept of a camera to represent your point of view of the model. Simply, you (the user) are treated as though you were a camera looking at your model as you work. This concept is particularly important when your model is something that you want to tour, such as a house, as though you were walking through it in the real world. In this case, SketchUp allows you to change your point of view to a specific height and angle to the model and walk through the model as though it were real.

Manipulating the Camera SketchUp starts at a camera angle (the angle at which you view your model) that is facing directly down at the ground as though you were looking directly down the blue axis from the sky at the ground plane. This camera angle is the default because the majority of SketchUp models, houses and landscapes for example, begin on the ground or red/green plane. Notice you only see the ground plane in the following figure. This figure suggests you are looking down at the image as though looking down the Blue axes (you, the camera, are hanging in the sky and looking right down at the ground).

However, you will not get the sense of modeling in a 3D space until you orbit the camera using the Orbit Tool after opening SketchUp and drawing a starting form. Following is the same model after having been orbited.

Perspective and Paraline Projections In addition to your point of view, you can view items in SketchUp in a paraline (also called axonometric) projection or in a perspective projection. Axonometric means “measurable from the axes” and an axonometric projection is a view of a model in which lines appear parallel in both 3 dimensional and 2 dimensional space. Also, lines have a length that is to some scale in an axonometric projection when printed (for example 4' in SketchUp = 1" on paper). The following image shows a axonometric or paraline projection, notice how the roof, and wall lines appear parallel.

Perspective, however, distorts the view such that it represents the model as though the lines were vanishing to a horizon (certain items appear closer while other items appear to be far away; entities are not to scale). The following image shows a perspective projection.

©Google Inc. 2006

Page 23

6/16/2006

SketchUp User's Guide

SketchUp defaults to a perspective view, but can be toggled into a paraline view for those who prefer a point of view that is similar to what you would see when drawing 3D objects in a 2D space (such as when drawing a cube on flat paper). Note - The iso camera view in SketchUp is not the same as an isometric projection in which anything along the x, y or z axis are in proportion. This view simply shows you ! of your model and is a standard camera angle for viewing models in a 3D space.

Layers SketchUp layers are used to control the visibility of geometry within large models. A SketchUp layer is an attribute with a name, such as "Layer0," "Layer9," or "Chairs." Elements can be assigned different layers. For example, all Component entities that are chairs can be assigned to the "Chairs" layer. This layer can be then be hidden temporarily to hide everything on the layer from view. Note - Geometry on one layer is not separated from geometry on another layer. For example, faces sharing a common edge will both be affected by a modification to that edge regardless of what layer the faces are on. Default "Layer0" There is one Layer, Layer0, in SketchUp, by default. All entities are automatically placed on this layer unless you create another layer, designate the new layer as the active layer, and create entities on the new layer.

Concepts

Adding Detail to Your Models You will likely want to create progressively more detailed models as you become more proficient with SketchUp. SketchUp contains several features allowing you to quickly create detailed or life-like models. These features include components, materials, and shadows.

Materials SketchUp allows you to paint materials on faces to add detail and realism to your models. Materials are essentially paints that have a color and optional texture (defined within a image file). For example, a siding material with the color of grey and a appearance or texture simulating to real overlapped composite siding. Following is a building painted with grey composite siding and grey shingle roofing materials. A grass material is also used to the ground.

As with components, SketchUp comes with a library of materials. You can paint these materials on your models using the Paint Bucket Tool. Additionally, you can create your own materials within SketchUp (using the color wheel), or by importing texture-like images (such as the image of a wood flooring). In fact, you can import an entire image of a real-world object (such as a picture of a car), and manipulate it over your 3D model to give your model a truly realistic appearance. Default Material Geometry in SketchUp is assigned a default material as it is created. The default material can be changed by painting the geometry with a material. Material Transparency Materials also have a opacity property (a number between 0 and 100%) allowing you to create materials that behave like glass. Paint these materials on faces to create windows.

ÂŠGoogle Inc. 2006

Page 25

6/16/2006

SketchUp User's Guide

Faces have two sides. SketchUp materials are normally applied to a single side of a face at a time. Painting a default colored side with transparent material will result in both sides of that face being treated as transparent allowing the surface to be transparent when viewed from both sides. If the back side of a face has already been painted with some non-transparent material, applying a transparent material to the front side will not cause the back side to also display as transparent. Likewise, if you paint the back side of a face with a different transparent material, it will not effect the front side. Thus, by specifically applying a material to both sides, it is possible to have transparent faces that can have different colors and levels of transparency on each side.

Groups and Components Groups and components are entities that can hold other entities. Groups are commonly used to combine several entities into a single entity for the purposes of performing a quick operation on the group (such as a copy or move). For example, you might draw a model, group the entities that compose model and move the entire model. The characteristics of groups are: x

Quick selection. When you select a Group, all elements within that group are selected as well.

Isolation of geometry. Entities within groups are protected from the rest of the model. Geometry outside of the group does not affect the geometry within the group

Model organization. Groups can be nested within other groups resulting in hierarchical collection of subgroups.

Group material. The group as a whole can be assigned a material of its own, which is separate from the materials painted on individual entities within the group. See the Materials section within this topic for further information.

Drawing Axes. Groups maintain their own internal drawing axes.

Alignment and Hole Cutting. Groups have a special behavior that allows them to properly align themselves and stick to faces on which they are placed (as well as cut holes in those faces).

Components are just a group with special behaviors, namely behaviors allowing them to be inserted in other models. For example, you might create a model of a car that you want to bring into other SketchUp models, such as the model of a house. Any models you create can be a component.

ÂŠGoogle Inc. 2006

Page 26

Concepts

Components have the following characteristics, in addition to the characteristics of groups: x

Instancing Behavior. Each copy of a component that you insert into a model is considered an instance of a component definition. The component definition is the blueprint that defines the appearance and behavior of all component instances (created when you insert the component in the model). Editing a component instance edits the definition and all instances accordingly. However, some actions, such as scaling an instance, only affects the instance itself.

Improved Performance. Components allow SketchUp to more efficiently use your computerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s resources because the information necessary to describe a component is only stored once, in the component definition, and then referenced for every component instance.

Drawing Axes. Components display their own internal drawing axes when you are editing the component.

Alignment and Hole Cutting. You can define alignment and hole cutting behavior when creating components (it is automatically defined for groups). Note - You can define the characteristics of the component during component creation.

Group and Component Context Entities within a group or component are said to exist within the group or component's scope or context. You can modify a group or component as a whole (affecting all of the entities within the group or component) or edit the group or component's individual entities (within the group or component's context). Additionally, you can nest components within other components, groups within components, components within groups and so on. The following image shows a shelf component has been selected (as indicated by the yellow selection color) using the Select Tool. This shelf is composed of several subcomponents, such as slats.

The following image shows the shelf component being edited. Notice that it has a dashed bounding box to indicate you are in the component's context. In this case, a subcomponent, one of the slats in the shelf, has been selected. That slat is within the context of the shelf. Also notice that the component's axes are displayed in the lower left-hand corner. ÂŠGoogle Inc. 2006

Finally, the following image shows the slate component being edited. Notice now that there is a dashed bounding box around the component, and around the slat being edited. The entities, such as the lines and face, that compose that individual slat are said to be in the context of the slat.

Component Libraries Component libraries have been created and included with SketchUp to allow you to easily add detail to your models. These components range from standard architectural components (doors, windows, and so on) to people, cars, trees, and geometric shapes. You can also create your own libraries of components from pre-existing components or components you create yourself.

ÂŠGoogle Inc. 2006

Concepts

Note - Additional industry-specific content libraries are available on the SketchUp web site under the download section (www.sketchup.com). Component Axes Components have their own axes which, by default, are aligned to the global axes in the drawing area. These axes can be moved affecting component placement in the model. Cutting and Gluing Behavior Components, such as doors and windows, can be designed such that they can be placed on specifically-oriented surfaces such as vertical wall surfaces. This behavior is referred to as the gluing behavior of a component. Additionally, components can be designed to automatically cut holes in surfaces, such as in the case of a window component being able to cut a hole in a wall. This behavior is referred to as the cutting behavior of a component. Layers, Groups and Components Layers are a mechanism for controlling the visibility of entities within a model. Entities can be assigned to different layers in a model and those layers, and their contents, can be displayed independently. Groups and Components are used to isolate geometry as sub-models within an overall model, such as a component of a chair within a model of a room. Note - Entities within a group or component can be on several different layers.

Shadows SketchUp allows you to cast shadows on your model as though the model were in a real-world environment. These shadows can be cast based on time of day and virtual location of the model in the real-world. For example, you can set shadows to see exactly what a model of a house would look like at 10:20 am, December 10, in Boulder, Colorado, which is the default location. Finally, SketchUp's shadows are designed to provide dynamic feedback as you change geometry and your camera viewpoint. The shadow casting feature in SketchUp is a great way to give your models a better sense of depth and realism.

ÂŠGoogle Inc. 2006

SketchUp User's Guide

Note - While SketchUp's projected shadow angles are accurate, the rendering effect is not intended to be photo-realisitc. Fortunately, SketchUp can export models to other many other applications that excel at photo-realistic renderings. Ground Shadows Ground shadows use the faces in your model to create a flattened set of faces on the ground plane. These faces are colored and positioned based on the background color and the angle of the sun. Although faster than face shadows, the illusion that ground shadows provide only works on the ground plane. The following figure shows a model whose geometry all lies on or above the ground plane.

Note - Ground shadows create unexpected geometry, called artifacts, when your model contains geometry beneath the ground plane. Ground shadows works well for models with solid color backgrounds and in which all geometry is above the ground plane.

ÂŠGoogle Inc. 2006

Page 30

6/16/2006

Concepts Face Shadows Face shadows use the sun angle to project shadows based on the location of faces relative to other faces. For example, a shadow is cast on the stairs in the following figure, based on the face of the vertical 3d rectangle. The calculation used to create face shadows is processorintensive, however, and will slow down performance with large models.

Note - Faces with less than 70 percent opacity are considered transparent, and do not cast shadows. Faces with 70 percent opacity or greater cast shadows. Transparent faces cannot receive shadows. The following image shows a transparent (less than 70% opacity) rectangle that does not cast a shadow (left) and a opaque (70% or greater opacity) rectangle that does cast a shadow (right).

The two shadow systems are designed to be complimentary, and you may often wish to have both types enabled simultaneously.

Presenting Your Models There are several things you can do after you create a model. For example: x

You can add dimensions, section cut effects, and other entities to your model for use in documenting the actual physical item.

You can present the model within SketchUp as a TourGuide Tour (a animated tour of your model)

You can print your model

You can export all or portions (such as a section slice) of the model for post processing in another application

Section Cut Effects SketchUp allows you to create section cut effects which are the result of slicing through your model to see and work inside its interior. The following image shows a model of a building with a section cut affect active allowing the designer to work inside the model or present interior detail to a client.

The following model shows the section cut effect resulting from slicing through the model of a cup.

Section Planes Section cut effects are created by section planes which are special entities used to control the selection, placement, orientation, direction, of the section slice. Section planes are generated using the Section Plane Tool.

The previous image shows a section plane entity intersecting the cup and creating a section slice through the cup. Section Slices The term section slice refers to the edges that are highlighted after intersecting geometry with a section plane. The following image shows a section slice in red.

ÂŠGoogle Inc. 2006

SketchUp User's Guide

These edges act as dynamic virtual edges in that they continually change as you move the section plane through your model with the Move Tool. You can create a group from these edges, such as when slicing horizontally through a house, to create a wire frame of the model (such the outline of a floor plan). Then, export this section slice for use in a CAD program to add additional detail (such as wall construction detail).

TourGuide Tours SketchUp allows you to create different pages, similar to slides in traditional presentation software, each containing different settings for your model (point of view, section cut effects, and so on). These pages can be combined and executed sequentially as a TourGuide Tour. The TourGuide engine can be set to gradually transition between effects on different pages for a truly dynamic presentation.

Concepts

Modeling Terrain and Organic Shapes SketchUp implements the concept of a sandbox which refers to a surface that can be generated and manipulated using sandbox tools. A sandbox in SketchUp (and in other 3D modeling tools) is commonly referred to as a triangulated irregular network or TIN in terrain modeling terminology. The following image shows a TIN (sandbox) in SketchUp.

Note - This documentation uses the term TIN, sandbox, and terrain interchangeably. A TIN is like a sandbox because it has a boundary and contains a sculpted surface (sand). Sandbox tools are those tools that are included in SketchUp for creating and manipulating TINs. The following image shows a TIN in SketchUp with hidden geometry displayed (so you can see the triangles that are the foundation of the TIN).

There is nothing special about a TIN, it is simply several connected triangular faces that, when smoothed, appear like one continuos smooth surface. Note that you are not limited to creating terrain with the sandbox tools, you can create other organic shapes (shapes that appear to be crafted by hand) using these tools. For example, you might create a person's face, a bowl, or a swimming pool using the sandbox tools. Another type of TIN-like surface, which the sandbox tools can work with, is called a polygon mesh. A polygon mesh is similar to a TIN, but contains faces with more than three vertices. Note - SketchUp's Sandbox From Scratch Tool and Sandbox From Contours Tool only create TINs, but you can import a polygon mesh or create a polygon mesh (manually) using other SketchUp tools.

Triangulation Triangles in a TIN can be oriented in different directions. The orientation of triangles is referred to as triangulation. Notice in the previous image that some triangles are oriented vertically while others are oriented horizontally. This concept is important because some sandbox tools allow you to change the direction of the triangles as a way to further smooth TINs.

Creating a TIN There are several ways to obtain a starting TIN as the foundation of your model. These are: x

Create or import contour lines and use the Sandbox From Contours Tool to create a TIN.

Import an image of a site plan or contour map and trace its contours with the Freehand Tool. Then, adjust the contours to their proper elevation and use the Sandbox From Contours Tool to create a TIN.

Import a TIN using the SketchUp ArcGIS Plug-in available at www.http://www.sketchup.com/markets/gis.php. ArcGIS is an industry standard application suite or Geographic Information System for working with geographical information such as the location of buildings within a world-wide global coordinate system.

Note - The sandbox tools can also be used to create organic geometry or geometry that appears to be hand-crafted.

Functional Terrain The term functional terrain is used to describe terrain that has no portion bending back upon itself creating overhangs, underhangs, or caves. If you draw a vertical line through your terrain at any point and the line only touches the terrain at one point, your terrain is functional. This concept is important because certain tools, such as the Smoove Tool, can create unexpected results when working on nonfunctional terrain (the neighboring points included in the sculpting operation by the Smoove Tool are often undesirable).

Application UI

Note - The previous image contains a screenshot of the SketchUp Plus application. The SketchUp Mini application has fewer tools and, therefore, fewer icons in the toolbars.

Title Bar The title bar (at the top of SketchUp) contains the standard Microsoft Windows controls (close, minimize, and maximize) on the right, and the name of the currently opened file. A blank drawing area appears when you start SketchUp and the name of the currently opened file is "Untitled" in the title bar, indicating that you have not yet saved your work.

Menus Menus appear below the title bar. The majority of SketchUp tools, commands, and settings are available within these menus. The menus that appear by default are: , File, Edit, View, Camera, Draw, Tools, Window, Earth, Help.

Toolbars The Toolbars, appearing below the menus and along the left side of the application contain a user-defined set of tools and controls. Toolbar visibility is toggled under the View > Toolbars menu item.

Drawing Area The drawing area is where you create your model. The 3D space of the drawing area is identified visually by the drawing axes.

Status Bar The status bar is the long gray rectangular area at the bottom of the drawing area.

The left side of the status bar displays tips for the currently used drawing tools, including special functions accessible using keyboard shortcuts. Watch the status bar to discover advanced capabilities of each of the SketchUp tools. Note - Use the resize handle to make the drawing area larger so you can see the entire message in the status bar. Value Control Box (VCB) The value control box (VCB) is located on the right side of the status bar. The VCB displays dimensional information while you draw. You can also enter values into the VCB to manipulate currently selected entities, such as creating elements of a specific dimension. Other behaviors of the VCB are as follows: x

You can type a value in the VCB before or after an operation is complete as long as the value is entered prior to the start of a new operation. Detailed information on the VCB values accepted for each tool appears in the Drawing Tools and Modification Tools sections of this user's guide.

You must press the Enter or Return key to accept a typed value.

You can change the value of the geometry as many times as you like before you start a new operation.

The VCB cannot be used again to enter values for a tool once you have exited the tool.

SketchUp will display a tilde (~) before the number to indicate that a number is not precise (not within precision settings as set in the Units panel of the Model Info Dialog Box).

It is not necessary to click in the VCB before typing. The VCB is always awaiting input from your keyboard.

You can type values in the VCB using an alternate measuring system than the default system. SketchUp will convert the value to the default system. For example, you can type in 3' 6" even if you are using metric system as your default. Units are set within the Units panel of the Model Info dialog box.

Window Resize Handle To the right of the VCB is the window resize handle which is used to change the size of the drawing area.

Page Tabs Click on a page tab to switch between the pages in your file. Page Tabs are created for each page as each page is created using the Page Manager.

File Menu The File menu contains items that relate to SketchUp model files, including commands to create, open, save, print, import, and export model files.

New The New menu item is used to close the current document and create a blank drawing area to begin a new SketchUp model. You will be prompted to save your changes if you have not saved changes to the current model before selecting the New menu item. Sketchup will use the settings in the template file to define the initial model state if you have selected a template file in the template panel under Window > Preferences. Keyboard Shortcut: Ctrl+N Tip - Open another instance of SketchUp if you want multiple drawing areas open simultaneously.

Open... Use the Open menu item to launch the Open dialog box, allowing you to open a previously saved SketchUp file. You will be prompted to save your changes if an unsaved model is already open because only one file can be open at a time. Keyboard Shortcut: Ctrl+O Problem Detection Minor problems can occur with your model given the infinite flexibility that SketchUp provides when designing in 3D. You likely will not notice anything different in your model, except that it will perform better, after these problems are fixed. SketchUp checks all files for problems when they are opened and saved if the Automatically check models for problems check box is checked in the General Panel of the Application Preferences. SketchUp displays a dialog box allowing you to fix problems if they are found. This dialog box has three options: Always fix my models, Fix it now, and Fix it later. Google recommends you click on the Always fix my models button in this dialog box to fix the problem. This button also checks the Automatically fix problems when they are found checkbox in the General Panel of the Application Preferences. This preferences option causes SketchUp to automatically fix problems without user intervention. Refer to the Automatically fix problems when they are found option for further information. SketchUp will check your model for unrecoverable errors during the open, preventing the overwriting of a good auto-save file. Sketchup will display a dialog box in the rare case that unrecoverable errors are found in your model. This dialog box contain the option to quit SketchUp and send a report. Google recommends you click on the quit SketchUp and send report button to terminate SketchUp and preserve your previously valid auto-save file. This report contains valuable information regarding the unrecoverable errors.

Save Use the Save menu item to save the currently active SketchUp model to your file system. When you close an unsaved document, or attempt to quit SketchUp with unsaved open documents, SketchUp will prompt you to save your work before continuing. Keyboard Shortcut: Ctrl+S

Note - Ruby scripts are contained in the Plugins directory under the installation directory. Create Face The Create Face menu item invokes the Create Face utility allowing you to troubleshoot face creation and, in most cases, create a face for three or more intersecting edges. Specifically, the Create Face utility is useful when: x

A model has two edges that have a common end point geometrically (the coordinates of the end point are the same), but the edges are not connected topologically. In this case, the Create Face utility will properly connect edges and create a face.

A face cannot be created because edges are not exactly planer, or appear to be connected when there is actually a small gap between the ends of the edges. In these instances, Create Face will not create a face, but displays a message indicating why SketchUp cannot create a face. This message can be used to troubleshoot face creation.

Query Tool The Query Tool menu item invokes a Query Tool utility that displays the current mouse position in the VCB. Fix Non-planar Faces The Fix Non-planar Faces menu items invokes the Fix Non-planar Faces utility to find and fix non-planar faces. Fix Non-planer Faces looks at the Vertices of every face and checks to see if they are on the plane of the face. If not, Check Validity tries to break the face into triangle so that each triangular face will be planar. Fix Non-planar Faces can actually change the model, but does not move vertices or edges. Instead, Check Validity will split faces into triangular faces if they were not planar. Note - Non-planar faces can get created by a bug in the DWG importer.

Context Menus Menu items also appear in special context menus which are menus whose contents vary depending on the context in which they are invoked (usually on one or more entities in the drawing area or within a user interface component, such as a dialog box). The following image shows a context menu for a Face entity.

Context-Clicking Context menus are invoked by selecting one or more entities and clicking the right mouse button. This operation is referred to as a context-click. Detailed information on the context menu for each entity appears in the Entities section of this user's guide. Other dialog boxes and user interface components have their own context menus, including drawing axes, the Material Browser, and so on.

Application UI

Dialog Boxes Most dialog boxes in SketchUp are modeless, meaning they do not limit your interaction with the rest of the application by requiring user input before continuing with your work. Instead, these dialog boxes can be displayed while you work allowing you to make dynamic settings changes to your model while you are sketching. Dialog boxes in SketchUp can be snapped to other user interface components on your screen, resized, and minimized (with some exceptions).

Snapping Dialog Boxes to Other User Interface Components Some dialog boxes, such as the Display Settings dialog box, automatically snap to the outside edges of the application window, the outer edge of the screen, with the top and bottom of other dialog boxes to create a dialog stack. To snap a dialog box to another user interface component: 1. Display a dialog box, such as the Window > Display Settings dialog box. 2. Click and hold on the dialog box's title bar. 3. Move the dialog box to the outside edge of the application window, outside edge of the screen, or top or bottom edge of another dialog box (such as the Shadow Settings dialog box). The dialog box will snap to and align with the edge. Note - Dialog boxes that have been snapped to the application window do not move when the application window is moved (they are not stuck to the window). Tip - Snap several dialog boxes together at their top and bottom edges to form a dialog box stack. Dialog boxes in a dialog box stack move with the stack when the top-most dialog box's title bar is moved.

Manipulating Dialog Boxes in a Dialog Box Stack A dialog box stack refers to a series of dialog boxes snapped together at their bottom and top edges such that they form a stack. The following image contains a dialog box stack with the Shadow Settings dialog box opened in the middle.

You can manipulate the dialog boxes in a dialog box stack in the following ways: x

Move the entire dialog box stack by clicking, holding, and moving the top-most dialog box's title bar.

Click on any dialog box's title bar to minimize or maximize a dialog box within the stack.

ÂŠGoogle Inc. 2006

Page 69

SketchUp User's Guide x

Move a dialog box, residing in the middle of the stack, to the right or left to break it from the stack. Move a dialog box, residing at the bottom of the stack, down to break it from the stack.

Reinsert the dialog box at the beginning or end of the stack by snapping the dialog box to the bottom or top edge of the stack, respectively.

Reinsert the dialog box in the middle of the stack by moving sideways into a middle position.

Snap the entire dialog box stack to the application window or screen by moving it to the outer edge of the application window or screen.

Resizing Dialog Boxes Some SketchUp dialog boxes, such as the Component Browser dialog box, can be resized. Move the cursor around the dialog box's edges to display a resize cursor (two arrows). Click on the edge and move the edge to resize the dialog box.

Minimizing Dialog Boxes Click on any dialog box's title bar to minimize or maximize the dialog box (even those that can not be placed in a dialog box stack).

Drawing Axes SketchUp's drawing axes consist of three colored lines, perpendicular to each other, displayed in the drawing area. These axes are helpful in providing a sense of direction in 3D space while you work.

Note - The Drawing Axes will be automatically hidden in any images exported from SketchUp.

Moving the Drawing Axes The drawing axes can be manipulated (moved, moved and rotated, and hidden) through their context menu. To move the drawing axes: 1. Context-click on the Drawing Axes and select Place from the context menu. The cursor changes to a collection of axes. 2. Move your cursor to the point in your model to be the new coordinate origin. You will see the axes snap to inferred alignments and points as you move around your model. 3. Click to accept the new coordinate origin. 4. Drag your cursor away from the origin to set an alignment for the red axis. Use the inference ToolTips to make sure you are aligned precisely. 5. Click to accept the alignment. 6. Move your cursor away from the origin to set an alignment for the green axis. Use inference ToolTips again to make sure you are aligned precisely. 7. Click again to accept the alignment.

Inference SketchUp features a geometric analysis engine, called the inference engine, allowing you to work in 3D space using a 2D screen and input device. This engine helps you draw very accurately by inferring points from other points as you draw while also providing you with visual cues.

Inference Cues The inference engine uses ToolTip cues, appearing automatically while working on the model, to identify significant points or geometric conditions. These cues make complex inference combinations clear to you as you draw Additionally, the inference engine uses specific colors to indicate its type of inference (covered further in Inference Types).

Inference Types There are three main types of inferences: point, linear, and planar. SketchUp often combines inferences together to form a complex inference. Point Inference A point inference is based on an exact point of your cursor in your model.

Endpoint: The green Endpoint inference identifies the end of a Line entity or Arc entity. Midpoint: The cyan Midpoint inference indicates the middle point on a line or edge. Intersection: The black intersection inference indicates an exact point where a line intersects another line or face. On Face: The blue On Face inference identifies a point which lies on a Face Entity. On Edge: The red On Edge inference identifies a point that lies along an edge. Equi-Distant On Edge: The Equi-Distant On Edge inference indicates an equidistant point, or a chamfer, when a magenta line appears between two connected edges. Half Circle: The Half Circle inference appears when drawing an arc to indicate the point that creates an exact half circle.

ÂŠGoogle Inc. 2006

Page 73

6/16/2006

SketchUp User's Guide Linear Inference A linear inference snaps along a line or direction in space. In addition to a ToolTip, a linear inference sometimes displays a temporary dotted line while you draw.

On Axis: The On Axis inference indicates a linear alignment to one of the drawing axes. The solid line is drawn in the color associated with the corresponding axis (red, green, or blue). From Point: The From Point inference indicates a linear alignment from a point along the Drawing Axes directions. The dotted line is drawn in the color associated with the corresponding axis (red, green, or blue). Perpendicular: Tie Perpendicular magenta line indicates perpendicular alignment to an edge. Parallel: The Parallel magenta line indicates a parallel alignment to an edge. Tangent at Vertex: When drawing from the endpoint of an Arc entity using the Arc Tool. Tangent to Edge: Planar Inference A planar inference snaps to a plane in space. Drawing Planes: SketchUp will snap to the planes defined by the Drawing Axes and your view when it cannot snap to geometry in the drawing area. For example, SketchUp will draw on the ground plane when the point of view is that of the ground plane. On Face: A blue On Face inference identifies a point which lies on a face. Although initially a point inference, On Face can also serve as a planar alignment by using inference locking (described below).

Encouraging an Inference At times, the inference you need may not come up immediately or SketchUp might choose alignments with the wrong geometry. In these cases, you can increase the chances of a particular alignment by pausing your mouse cursor over the particular location that you want SketchUp to infer from. When the ToolTips appears, SketchUp will briefly prioritize that alignment as you continue drawing. For example, to encourage SketchUp to create a line to match another, parallel, line (such as when drawing the third line of a rectangle):

ÂŠGoogle Inc. 2006

Page 74

6/16/2006

Application UI 1. Create the first two edges of a rectangle with the first edge being parallel to the red axes. 2. Click on the start point of the third edge and move the line tool as though you were creating the third line parallel to first line. As you begin to move the line tool, the line should appear in red. 3. Mid-line creation, move the line tool over the start point of the start point of the first line you created for the rectangle. Your line will extend diagonally to this point. 4. Leave the tool over this point until the Endpoint ToolTip displays. 5. Move the line tool to the approximate location where the end of the third line should appear. A dotted line, with the color of the corresponding axes (green) will follow the line tool to indicate you are directly inline with the start point of the first line. 6. Click when the line you are drawing is indicated by an axes color (red) and is directly perpendicular to the green dotted line.

Component Inferences All normal geometry inferences can be obtained from geometry inside Component entities or Group entities. Group and Component inferences are all indicated by magenta dots.

Inference Locking At times, geometry might interfere with your ability to infer points from other points, making it difficult to draw accurately. Use an inference lock, which tells SketchUp not to waver from the direction it is currently inferring from, to solve this problem. To use the inference lock, hold down the Shift key when SketchUp infers the desired alignment (the inference line will bold). The alignment will remain locked, even as you move the mouse and/or pick a secondary inference point. The following image shows the inference locked in the blue direction to ensure that a new line is exactly perpendicular to the face.

Any of the inference conditions may be locked; along an axis direction, along an edge direction, on a face, from a point, parallel or perpendicular to an edge, and so on. Video - A video tutorial on this topic is available at http://www.sketchup.com/training/tutorials.php

Erasing Entities As mentioned previously, the Eraser Tool is used to erase entities in the drawing area. Note, the Eraser Tool does not allow you to erase faces (faces are erased after their bounding edges are erased). To erase entities: 1. Select the Eraser Tool. The cursor changes to an eraser with a small box. 2. Click on an entity to erase it. Alternatively, erase several entities at once by holding down the mouse button and dragging it over several entities to be erased. All selected geometry will be erased once you release the mouse button. If you accidentally select geometry you do not wish to delete, press the ESC key to cancel the erase operation before it deletes your selection. Tip - Try erasing entities slowly if you continuously skip over entities you want to erase. Tip - It is usually faster to erase a large number of entities by selecting the entities with the Select Tool and pressing the Delete key on your keyboard. You can also delete selected items by selecting Erase from the Edit menu.

Hiding Lines Press and hold the Shift key and use the Eraser Tool to hide lines (instead of erasing lines).

Paint Bucket Tool Use the Paint Bucket Tool to assign materials and colors to entities in your model. You can use it to paint individual entities, fill a number of connected faces, or replace a material with another throughout your model. Activate the Paint Bucket Tool from the Principal toolbar, or by choosing Paint Bucket from the Tools menu. Keyboard Shortcut: B Video - Various video tutorials on this topic are available at http://www.sketchup.com/training/tutorials.php

Applying Materials Ensure you are using either the Shaded or Shaded with Textures display setting so that you can see materials as they are applied to your model (Window > Display Settings > Shaded or Shaded with Textures). To apply materials: 1. Select the Paint Bucket Tool. The cursor will change to a paint bucket and the Material Browser is activated. The Materials Browser contains libraries of materials you can paint on faces in your model. 2. Select a materials library using the drop down list in the Materials Browser. SketchUp contains several default materials libraries, including landscape, roofing, and transparent materials. 3. Select a material from the materials library. 4. Click on the faces to paint. The material is assigned to the face.

Face Painting Rules There are several face painting rules that apply when painting multiple faces or edges at the same time. These rules follow: x

The side of the faces that will be painted depends on the side initially painted when more than one face is selected. For example, if all faces are selected and you paint the front of one face, the front of all faces will be painted. Conversely, if all faces are selected and you paint the back of one face, all back faces will be painted.

All selected edges will be painted when you select a face and all edges and paint the front of the face. No edges are painted when you select a face and all edges and paint the back of one face. Ensure you have the Window > Display Settings > Edge color set to By Material to see the painted effect applied to edges.

Fill Options The Paint Bucket Tool can be used with one or more keyboard modifiers to perform various painting operations. Element Fill The Paint Bucket Tool normally operates by filling in faces as you click on them. As mentioned previously, entities selected with the Select Tool can be painted with a single click of the Paint Bucket Tool.

ÂŠGoogle Inc. 2006

6/16/2006

SketchUp User's Guide Adjacent Fill Press and hold the Ctrl key while clicking on a face with the Paint Bucket Tool to fill that face and any adjacent (connected) face with the same material. The face you click on and the adjacent face must have the same material prior to performing this operation.

Note - Selecting a number of entities with the Select Tool and painting using the Ctrl modifier keys causes just the entities within the selection set to be painted. Replace Press and hold the Shift key prior to clicking on a face with the Paint Bucket Tool to apply a material to every face, with the same material in the current context, with the new material.

Note - Selecting a number of entities with the Select Tool and painting using the Shift modifier key causes just the entities within the selection set to be painted. Adjacent Replace Press and hold both the Shift and the Ctrl keys simultaneously while painting to only replace the material on the face within the confines of geometry that is physically connected to that face. Note - Selecting a number of entities with the Select Tool and painting using the Ctrl modifier keys causes just the entities within the selection set to be painted.

Sampling a Material Press and hold the Alt key to change from the Paint Bucket Tool to a Sample Tool for sampling materials within your model. The cursor will change to an eye dropper. Click on the face whose material you want to sample. Release the Alt key to return to the Paint Bucket Tool. Paint the sampled material on a face.

Principal Tools

Painting Groups and Components Materials can be painted on entire Group entities or Component entities or to the individual entities within the Group or Component. To assign materials to an entire Group or Component: 1. Select the Paint Bucket Tool. The cursor will change to a paint bucket and the Material Browser is activated. The Materials Browser contains libraries of materials you can paint on faces in your model. 2. Select a materials library using the drop down list box. SketchUp contains several default materials libraries, including landscape, roofing, and transparent materials. 3. Select a material from the library of materials. 4. Click on the Group or Component you want to paint. The faces will receive the material. 5. If you select multiple Groups or Components using the Select Tool, clicking on the selection with the Paint Tool will paint all of them with a single click. Note - If a face within a Group or Component is already painted with a material (other than the default material), before applying a material to the entire Group or Component, the face will not adopt the new material. For example, the windshields, bumpers, and tires in the following image were already painted before a material was applied to these components. Therefore, the windshields, bumpers, and tires maintained their original material.

Note - Exploding a Group or Component assigns the object materials to any elements assigned the default material, thus making the material override permanent.

The line length can be specified precisely using the VCB either before clicking the second point or immediately after the line has been drawn. See Specifying Precise Line Values for further information on using the VCB with Line entities. Tip - Alternately, you can click and hold the mouse button to set the starting point of the line, and drag outward without releasing the button to set the length. Release the mouse button to complete the line. See the Drawing panel of the Preferences dialog box for further information on setting drawing behavior.

Creating a Face The Line Tool will remain at the ending point of every line you create. This end point is automatically treated as a starting point for another line. You can create another line by moving the cursor and clicking again from this new starting point. These two lines are said to be coplaner, intersecting lines (intersecting at starting and ending points). Three or more coplanar lines, intersecting at their ending and starting points (forming a loop), generate a Face entity. Ensure that the Endpoint inference ToolTip is visible whenever you close a Face entity to ensure that any lines you draw are continuous. The Line Tool is released but is still active after a face has been created.

Drawing Tools

Tip - Set the display settings (Window > Display Settings ) to the Shaded rendering style to clearly show new faces as they are created.

Splitting a Face Draw a line with starting and ending points on the face's edges to split a face. The following image shows a rectangle being split when a line is drawn from one edge of a face to another opposite edge.

Integrating Lines Occasionally, overlapping lines will not be split or integrate with a face. Any lines that are not part of a face perimeter will be displayed with a thicker line (left-most image below) . The Profile Edge rendering style must be enabled in the Display Settings dialog box to see this behavior. Use the Line Tool to trace along an existing line to attempt to split overlapping lines. SketchUp will re-analyze your geometry and attempt to reintegrate the line. The following images show a bold line that did not effectively split a face (left-most image). The line was traced (middleimage) and the line became thin indicating that the line was reintegrated.

Splitting a Line SketchUp automatically splits line segments when new lines are drawn perpendicular to a line. For example, draw a new line to the midpoint (identified by a cyan square) of another line to split a line in half. The following example shows one line being intersected at the midpoint, resulting in two lines.

Select the original line to verify that the line has been split into two equal segments.

Dividing a Line into Equal Segments Line segments can be divided into any number of equal line segments. To divide a line into equal segments: 1. Context-click on a line. 2. Select Divide from the context menu. SketchUp will place points on the line to show where the line will be divided. 3. Move the cursor toward the center of the line to reduce the number of segments. Move cursor toward either end of the line to increase the number of segments. 4. Click on the line when the number of segments you would like is shown. The line will be divided into an equal number of joined line segments.

Specifying Precise Line Values The VCB displays the length of your line while you are drawing lines. You can also specify an line length value using the VCB. Entering a Length Value The VCB label indicates "Length" after you place the starting point of a line. The following image shows the length value in the VCB.

Type the length into the VCB, after placing the starting point of the line, and press the Enter or Return key. SketchUp will use the current document units setting if you only type in a numerical value. You can also specify either Imperial (1’6”) or Metric (3.652m) units at any time, regardless the model units setting. Note - The Line Tool will snap to any previously entered length within the VCB. Entering a 3D Coordinate The VCB can also be used to place the end of the line at an exact coordinate in space. Entering an Absolute Coordinate: Type in the coordinates of a point in 3D space enclosed by brackets, such as [x, y, z], to get absolute coordinates relative to the current axes.

Entering a Relative Coordinate: Type the coordinate points enclosed by angle brackets, in the format <x, y, z>, where x, y, and z values are relative distances from the starting point of your line.

Note - The exact format for VCB entries will vary depending on your computer's Regional Settings. For European users, the list separator symbol may be a semi-colon instead of a comma, so the format would be [x; y; z].

Drawing Lines by Inference The Line Tool uses SketchUp's sophisticated geometric inference engine to help you place your lines in 3D space. The inference decisions, made by the inference engine, are displayed in the drawing area as inference lines and inference points. These lines and points show precise

Locking a Line to the Current Inference Direction Press and hold the Shift key, while the line you are drawing is the specific color of an axis, to lock drawing operation to that axis. Locking a Line to a Specific Inference Direction Press and hold either the up arrow, left arrow, or right arrow keys, where the up arrow equals blue, left arrow equals green, right arrow equals red, while drawing a line to lock the line to a specific axis.

Arc Tool Use the Arc Tool to draw Arc entities, comprised of multiple line segments (which can be edited as a single arc). Activate the Arc Tool from the Drawing toolbar or from the Draw menu. Keyboard Shortcut: A

Drawing an Arc Arc entities consist of three parts: the starting point, the ending point and the bulge distance. The distance between the starting point and the ending point is also known as the chord length. To draw an arc: 1. Select the Arc Tool. The cursor changes to a pencil with an arc. 2. Click to place the starting point of your arc. 3. Move the cursor to the ending point of your chord. 4. Click to place the ending point of your arc. A straight line is created. 5. Move your cursor perpendicular to the straight line to adjust the bulge distance. A straight line will extend perpendicular from the straight line.

Note - Press the Esc key at any point during the operation to start over. 6. Click to set the bulge distance. Chord length can be specified after you place the ending point of your arc. Bulge distance, radius, and number of segments can be specified using the VCB immediately after a arc is drawn. See Specifying Precise Arc Values for more information on manipulating arcs using the VCB.

Drawing a Half-Circle The arc temporarily snaps to a half-circle as you pull out a bulge distance. Watch for the HalfCircle inference ToolTip indicating when your arc is a half-circle.
