703 Check the surface of model

This module covers model assembling and decoration. Learners will be familiar with concept of model assembling and setting of materials and shadow. In this module, learners will finally complete the model.

Do you want to obtain all the necessary skills of a 3D modeler? Do you want to know how an engineer develop a building model in details? The “3D CAD Application” course, the second course of the new specialization, is coming! After finishing this course: You will be able to know how to use the SketchUp’s advanced functions by creating 3D building models. You will be able to develop a building as an engineer. Let’s start the learning journey!

Transcript

Greetings to all. In this class,

we will learn how to add colors and materials on the model.

Before we start, we should remember that the orientation of

the faces determine whether we can add colors successfully or not.

Therefore, we should check all the faces in the model are on the front side.

We use a cube to demonstrate how to reverse the face.

Let's get started. First the video shows white side is defined as front sides,

while the grey is the reverse of the white side.

There are two methods for us to reverse the face to the front side.

Method one, click on the face and click right mouse button.

Choose reverse faces.

There we get a reversed face.

Method two, click right mouse button and

one of the front sides and then choose orient faces.

There we can see all the upside faces of

the objects will be oriented to the side of the face.

Let's check the faces in our model.

Remember to reverse all the faces to front side,

otherwise we can have problem when we apply colors or materials on it.

In this class, we learnt how to orient and then change the faces in the model.

Remember that there are two ways to do this,

and we should use the one that fits our situation.

Let's stop for now. Goodbye.
