 * - Thursday, February 2nd **

Thoughts and Questions...


 * **YOU NEED TO BE PATIENT WITH YOUR QUESTIONS**, I am still figuring a lot of the buttons and tools out as well as you (some of you may become more familiar with the program)
 * **Getting the f****loor plan or the base of your building done first will be one of the most important things to do**, then and only then should you start bringing your building up and worrying about the height.
 * **Measuring lengths and areas-**Go to Window on top and choose entity info. This will allow you to measure any length of find area of any surface :) COOL
 * **Roof**-needs to be a straight line going across the object. (becomes a green or red line when straight)
 * **Windows**-don't delete them from building, we can make them translucent, but it will be easier to do that last.

 * Sketch Up Criteria**
 * 1) Open Sketch Up from Applications folder
 * 1) Do a FILE --> SAVE AS (Lastname-Building Type), before you start.
 * 2) **Before you can start using Sketch-Up** you need to have a 3D sketch of your drawing on paper along with having a net of your building or Perspective View.
 * 3) Create a Building using the tools (watch videos below for help)
 * 1) When done with building you need to save correctly (Lastname-Building Type), and tag your building using the text tag tool from the highest point on your building.
 * 2) Also, you need to turn in a 2D drawing of your building from all Perspective Views. (Front,Back,Left,Right,Top,and Bottom)
