This step is when all of the work we did with guidelines in parallel projection mode pays off.
SKETCHUP FLOOR PLAN WINDOWS
Next, we’re going to punch openings in the walls for the windows and doors. This is what the model should look like with all of the walls extruded to 9′. You may need to rotate the plan in order to see the fireplace walls. You’ll know it’s open if you see blue dots when you click on the wall face. Then double-click again on one of the groups to open it. To open the first group, double-click on any of the interior walls. Remember, there are two interior walls group – one for the majority of the walls and one for the fireplace. Repeat the process for the interior walls. Now you should see your exterior walls in 3D at 9′ tall. The walls will automatically snap to a height of 9′.Ĭlick outside of the group to close it. Use your tape measure tool to verify the dimension. Without clicking again, type 9′ and hit enter. You will see the walls begin to become three dimensional. Hover over the face of the exterior walls.Ĭlick on the face and drag your cursor up. Click on the Push/Pull tool in the top menu. We’re going to assume our ceiling height throughout the house is 9′.ĭouble click on the exterior walls group to open it. In our next step, we’re going to use the Push/Pull tool to extrude the exterior walls into 3D. You should now be able to see the walls without the openings. Then uncheck the box next to Plan-2D to turn off the 2D plan.
The exterior walls are grouped together on the Walls-Exterior layer, and the interior walls are grouped on the Walls-Interior Layer.Ĭlick the radio button next to Layer 0 to make it the active layer. We also made copies of our plans without the openings and symbols. In the last tutorial, we created a 2D floor plan with symbols for the windows and doors and put that plan on the layer Plan-2D. If your Layers window and Entity Info window aren’t visible, go to the Window menu and select both of those options now. (Tip: You can click on any image in this tutorial to make it larger)
Click and hold down your mouse key as you drag the cursor to rotate the view into perspective. If you have Parallel Projection turned on, go ahead and turn it off now. Open your SketchUp model containing your floor plan.
SKETCHUP FLOOR PLAN PDF
You can use a PDF version of a floor plan or a sketch you created of the field dimensions. I will be using the same floor plan from my the previous tutorials. In this blog post, I will walk you through how you can to draw a 3D house model in SketchUp from a 2D floor plan image.
