A platform for research: civil engineering, architecture and urbanism
This chapter provides an introductory framework for the construction of architectural models. When modeling buildings, the first task is to mold the building volume into a building mass. The building mass is a series of Push/Pulled faces that define levels, edges, and areas. There are many ways to manipulate a volume to create mass. The easiest method for articulating building mass is to use existing building geometry to generate more detail. Window and Door components provide scales and detail, and further define a building's aesthetics. In many instances, buildings are composed of repetitive elements that share similar functions and design qualities. Elements such as windows, doors, and columns can be composed of the same material, share a particular style, or be of related proportions. These repetitions can be useful when modeling a building in SketchUp.
