Modeling My House

Modeling My House in Sketchup Modeling my childhood home via Sketchup was definitely a more challenging process than creating a doghouse. There were aspects of the build process than I found easy and certainly aspects that I found difficult. One of the easier portions of this design was creating

My fail at recreating my old house!

The process of thinking of how I wanted to recreate my childhood house was indeed a difficult one because of how weird my house was structured. I tried my best to recreate the front as best as I could. The hardest part is being very detailed. I am still figuring

Taking up SketchUp

A Model of my Home (A rough one)

drive-download-20180105T203948Z-001 Making this house was kinda hard. It involved a lot of moving around and changing the orientation. But in the end it wasn’t extremely difficult. I would definitely advise novices using SketchUp that you can set the height and width of any structure you’re drawing, as this makes things
