SRT II: Google SketchUp Mr. Davis Day 1

Objective SWBAT – Identify the uses of CAD software by building models in Google SketchUp

Drafting? Engineering Drawing?

2-D Maps

2-D Diagram / Plan

2-D vs. 3-D Traditional 3-D drawing – Isometric projection

Limits of 3-D in 2-D? Hard to rotate / see from all sides

Solution? Physical model – Common in architecture, engineering Virtual model – 1970’s – replicating drafting – 1980’s – more powerful computers, better displays – Either 2 or 3-D

Modern CAD / CADD Full object specifications – Dimensions – Material – Finishes – Dynamic systems (forces) Now includes CAM (CNC) – Interfaces to 3-D printing
