SketchUp Applied Research In Small Architectural Design

With the rapid development of computer-aided design technology, in a small building design results area of the final performance, technology has matured, the application case is also abundant. But the idea stage of small building design, a relatively small embedded computer technology, the means of single-aided design, Basically traditional "Sketch" plus "working model" of the fixed pattern. As the technology matures, computer-aided design idea of gradually from the theoretical to the practical application.Developed by the Google SketchUp software, which is a simple operation, powerful features, you can quickly and easily to construct, display, edit 3D models. Using SketchUp software features and basic functions, from the reality of the building design profession at home and abroad, combined with the work features of a small architectural design, this comprehensive analysis of SketchUp innovative applications in a small building design, make SketchUp software to some extent, improved the design productivity and quality results, and small buildings of traditional design is worth popularizing. This paper analyzes small-scale architectural design trends, using the engineering approach of SketchUp software computer-aided design, a set comprehensive settlement strategy based on using SketchUp design process in a small architectural design innovative applications.
