SKETCHUP™ (Click on thumbnail to see video)

SketchUp™ with AutoCAD WEBINAR (24 min)

David Fox will be presenting a technique he has developed as apart of his practice for high-end residential design. He will demonstrate how to start a design of a trellis in AutoCAD, export it into SketchUp where it can be extruded and modeled in 3D, and then return it to AutoCAD for the creation of constructional details. The webinar will include several handy tips for working with SketchUp, and utilizing the Land F/X Detail system for complex objects.
