Well, I’ve started working on my first Sketchup build.  As promised, I’ve decided to blog about it.  With no textures, I simply imported a topographical image from Google Earth into Sketchup, then used that as my basis for building out the foot print of my build:

As you can see, the building that I’m trying to make a build of is the *infamous* Cameron indoor stadium, the place where your illustrious Duke Blue Devils call home court.  Currently, the build has no textures applied, since finding outside pictures of the facility has been somewhat difficult.  But, my main dilemma is finding out the proper elevations for the building itself, in an effort to ensure that I’ve got the correct heights for the model.

So next steps for me is finding out how to effectively get reference points for the various heights of the building, and then applying the textures to the individual faces of the build.  If need be, I may just run over to Durham and take the pictures myself.

Stay Tuned!
