LESSON 2 Flashcards
is an intuitive 3D modeling application that lets you create and edit 2D and 3D models with a patented “Push and Pull” method.
a program used for a wide range of 3D
modeling projects like architectural, interior design, landscape architecture, and video game design, to name a few of its uses.
The app has a wide range of applications, including in the worlds of
architecture, interior design,landscaping, and video game design.
3D modeling program (offered in
various different platforms/packages) that is flexible, fun, and easy to learn.
used by all sorts of people from architects, woodworkers, interior
designers, hobbyists, students, and others.

Pan Tool
Zoom Tool
an entity, its bounding box has tools for moving, rotating, and scaling the entity, or you can use the keyboard or the Measurements box to enter precise changes. entities to modify with other tools or commands.
Selecting Tool
soften or smooth entities in the mode.to remove parts of your model, here are the ways the tool can get it done: Select the tool from a toolbar and click an edge with the tool cursor. You’ll erase that edge and any faces it bounds.
Eraser Tool
As you draw 3D models in SketchUp, the ability to divide edges and faces enables you to create and manipulate your geometry in complex ways. You can
also explode entities, such as circles and polygons, into the individual segments.
Line Tool
you can create hand-drawn lines. is handy when you need to trace imported drawings, create a 2D sketch, or decorate your model.
Freehand Tool
When this tool is activated a protractor appears to help you set the beginning and ending of the based on your desired angle. Your first click defines the center point, the second your endpoint, and the third finishes the creating an open made of straight-edge segments.
Arc Tool
Activating this tool changes your cursor to a pencil. Your first click defines one end of the, the second the other end. The third click defines the bulge of the.
2-Point Arc Tool
Activating this tool also changes the cursor to a pencil. The first click sets your starting point, the second a pivot point, and the third defines the endpoint.
3-Point Arc Tool
This tool works just like the Arc tool, but creates a closed shape that becomes a face.
Pie Tool
The tools help you draw
- Rectangular,
- Rotation Rectangular,
- Circle,
- Polygon
Shape Tools
Face entities to add or subtract volume from your 3d models and you can create a 3D shape from a face or cut a 3D shape out of your model. You can any type of face, including circular, rectangular, and abstract faces.
Push/Pull Tool
You often need to draw a slightly bigger or smaller version of a shape and keep the two shapes equidistant from each other. This is called __a line. Also, enables you to___ a line or shape
quickly and easily.
Offset Tool
stretch, or copy entities. To merge points or edges together. Show Hidden Geometry to manipulate hidden entities – If you want to select and move parts of a surface that has hidden edges, turn on Hidden Geometry from the View menu. You’ll then be able to select softened or hidden edges.
Move Tool
