This course takes you step-by-step through how to use SketchUp to create a texture-mapped 3D model of building exteriors using photos. Learn how to leverage photo-matching features to enhance and evolve a model from several vantage points. Scott Onstott demonstrates how to rough in building volumes and roof slopes, handle complex roof scenarios, adjust the model to match perspectives, work with textures, use a library of materials and more.

Topics include:

Roughing in building volumes

Using multiple photos for mapping

Matching the perspective in the photos

Roughing in a roof slope

Modeling and extruding roofs

Intersecting objects

Constructing complex roofs

Hiding edges

Working with materials and textures

Using fixed and movable pins

Accessing the SketchUp material library

Completing texture mapping
