Software Testing Practice For My Project: Sketchup Pro

 Hi! In this blog I will testing SketchUp Pro, so I will create a sample of sketches of structures that might use for my final project for Digital Arts lesson and of course for my future career.




After entering the application, I chose Architecture Millimeter from SketchUp Pro.


Then by Using the Tape measure card,  I measured the man's height standing in there as a practice of how to use this tool. However because of the quality the tape measure card is not good.


Then, I clicked on the Line card and draw a horizontal line by the green line and then another on the line by moving the cursor along the line. 


Here, I erased the previous line by double-clicking and then right click and select erase to remove both the lines. In addition, I draw a rectangle by the red line by moving the cursor along the line.


I then used the Push/Pull card to pull the rectangle from any side created a rectangle box.


After creating the box, I draw another rectangle and pushed that inside the box and made a hole inside the box.

I draw a circle beside the rectangle box and by using the pull tool, I make the circle into cylinder by pulling upwards.  I forgot to take the photos by step so I am just going to talk about how I did these structures. Then I was instructed to make a triangle over here so I made a triangle by using the Line card and then pulled it upwards.I then made a drum over here by drawing a circle first and then pulling it upwards to make a cylinder. Moreover, I selected the whole thing and then right-clicked to make it a group so that I can move it as I want using the Move card. I made it aligned by using the Rotate card but it needs to be red in color to make it rotate so it is necessary to see the red plus points before rotating it. After this, a drum is made.


I started to make a chair here. I then made the surface by drawing a rectangle then pulled it upwards and I made a rectangle on the edge and double-clicked to copy it to paste it on the clear space to make the stands of the chair. After this, I made four of it and pulled it upwards and made each of them group so that it is easy to move them and place them on the each edge of the surface of the chair  without dismantling their shapes. 




However first I made the chair bigger than the person so I changed the size of the chair by clicking tools section and then I clicked to scale to change its size.


This is my final outcome, these task was good. I had lots of fun while design these structures. Learning these types of softwares are really helpful for my future lessons and my career. However I need more practice to use this Sketchup Pro fluently, "practice makes perfect".
