2. Select the Push/Pull tool. Hover over
the area designated as road. Push/Pull downward: Click and drag the cursor down. Immediately type the value 6˝. SketchUp will do one of two things (Fig. 6-16): 33SketchUp will create a 6˝ thick volume 33SketchUp will lower the top surface 6˝ and the road surface will have 6˝ walls surrounding it.
Fig. 6-16: Push/Pull the road surface downward 6˝.
In either situation you should clean up the road surface by doing one of the following: ‘ 33If SketchUp created a 6˝ volume, delete the top surface and the adjacent “walls”. Or 33Simply delete the adjacent walls. In either case, do not delete the geometry that defines the 6˝ curb adjacent to the tree lawn and walks.
Fig. 6-17: Delete the excess faces and lines around the lowered road.
Creating the Building Push/Pull the surface area designated as the building. Push/Pull the building footprint to a volume of 13´ height (Fig. 6-18).
Fig. 6-18: Push/Pull to make a building volume. Delete the extra lines on the face. Draw a line along the top length of the volume.
