SketchUp Template

Tired of endlessly tweaking SketchUp settings to produce a model that looks simple yet professional? These assets + settings will free you to move on to doing your best design work. Use them as-is or as a foundation for your own signature presentation style. You'll have everything you need to easily create visually convincing models without having to learn new rendering software or complicated plug-ins like V-Ray or Podium.

As an architect I'm obsessed with clean, clear graphics and it always frustrated me that SketchUp was so easy to use for model-making but such a rudimentary presentation tool. I could never use the out-of-the-box default styles included with SketchUp to present to my clients. The styles I've created are balance a crisp graphic convention with painterly, sketchy line work that complements SketchUp's efficient workflow but retains a professionally delineated esthetic you can use for presentations. The key to achieving the look is embedded in the customized SketchUp Style files (.style) I've included. Using them is easy: simply import the style collection, click a button to apply the selected style and your existing models will update immediately.

In addition to the sample files and settings, I'll walk you through my workflows and the process I use to create the three types of models I use most frequently in my residential architecture practice, the same ones I use to design and present to my clients.

What's included :

• 30X40's Base Template + Settings (.skp)

• 30X40's Schematic Model File (.skp) - includes three schematic models + materials

• Soft Linework style files (.style) - Color Presentation Style + Monochromatic Style

• Model Types + Schematic Workflow video

• Presentation Model Workflow video
