Following on from the how to model a site in SketchUp using the help of Google Earth video, this tutorial shows you how to use a cad drawing as the starting point for your 3d model.
In this video we look at:
– Setting up your cad drawing for exporting to sketchup.
– Writing cad blocks for import to sketchup.
– Importing your cad layers into sketchup.
– Working up your cad plan into 3D.
– Using components to populate your site.
– Adding roads to the site plan.
– Using google sketchup warehouse to add content to your model.
What about the topography 🙂
Good point! I thought I would keep it simple for this video – terrain and topography is a whole other video!
Thanks for that Emma. Very smart way of doing this. If you could to a post on topography that would be much appreciated.

John
Thanks John – I will certainly look into a post on topography – I’ll add it to my list. Thanks for the suggestion. Emma 🙂
