Vocabulary: Cube - In geometry, a cube is a three-dimensional solid object bounded by six square faces,

facets or sides, with three meeting at each vertex. Cylinder - A cylinder is one of the most basic curvilinear geometric shapes, the surface formed by

the points at a fixed distance from a given straight line, the axis of the cylinder. Extrude (push/pull) —To push or pull a surface in 3D space to create an object. Orbit —To move the camera view about or around the object. Pan —To move the camera view from side to side but the direction of the view remains the same. Plane - In mathematics, a plane is a flat, two-dimensional surface. Sphere - A sphere is a perfectly round geometrical object in three-dimensional space that is the

surface of a completely round ball. X, Y, Z coordinates —The directions of 3D space, left/right, up/down, and in/out. Zoom - changing smoothly from a long shot to a close-up or vice versa

SketchUP – 3D Modeling

SketchUp is granted to Utah through the SketchUp Pro Statewide Grant Program.

1) Open up SketchUp from your desktop.

2) Click on Start using SketchUp

3) Click on Select a template

4) Select Simple Template – Feet

and Inches, then click on Start

using SketchUp

5) Click on the Camera tab

6) Select Standard Views and then ISO

7) From the picture tab

8) Click on the Orbit tool. This allows you

to Pan (change) the view of what you

are looking at as it rotates around the X,

Y, and Z access. Rotate to move until you

have the blue line going up and down

and looking at a corner between the red

and green lines.

From this view you will start your

drawing.

Definitions:Orbit—To move the camera view about or around the object.Pan—To move the camera view from side to side but the direction of the view remains the same.Plane (x ,y, z)—The directions of 3D space, left/right, up/down, and in/out.

Creating a chair

9) Looking at the top tool bar menu again.

10) Click on the Shape tool it is the one with a triangle with a red line through

it.

the ground.

After it is drawn you will see it as a grey rectangle.

We are now going to give this rectangle depth.

12) Looking at the top tool bar menu again.

13) Click on Push/Pull tab this allows you to EXTRUDE or pull

out the rectangle and give it depth.

Definitions:Extrude—To push or pull a surface in 3D space to create an object.

14) Click on the top of you rectangle and pull it up.

Note: In the bottom corner you can see the distance that you are raising

your object.

Note: If the person is bugging you click on the eraser then click on the

person and poof he or she is gone.

15) Creating the back of your chair.

16) Click on the Shape tool

17) Click on the back corner furthest from

the blue line. Then draw a smaller rectangle at

the back of the seat area to create the back of

your chair.

18) Using the Extruding tool raise

up the back of your chair.

19) Pan to look at the bottom of your chair.

20) From the Shape Tool click on the arrow,

then click on the Circle.

21) Align the circle with a bottom corner.

22) Draw a circle that touches the edge of the

chair.

23) Use the Extruding tool to pull the legs out to your desired length.

Remember to watch the length in the bottom corner so that each leg is the

same length.

* Repeat this step with the other 3 corners.

24) You can use the Paint tool to add textures to your chair.

Please remember that this is a free program that you can

download at home to use.
