Course objectives
The 3D SketchUp Application for SketchUp focuses on 3D Modeling and Visualization for Elementary Schools. Learning outcomes of the course unit The subject is familiar with the 3D SketchUp program with basic commands and procedures for modeling, animation and visualization. Emphasis is placed on mastering modeling using SketchUp and LayOut. The creation of models is directed to ZŠ.Je mentioned the introduction to problems, creation of models in 3D program, visualization and possibilities of use in 3D printing.
Understanding and mastering SketchUp supports the use of graphical technical programs in the preparation of models, sketches and projects. In technical IT disciplines and in education, it is a necessary part of the training of experts in the field of vocational training. The analysis of 3D graphics includes examples of home models, room equipment, etc. Drawing a sketch of drawings within semestral projects.
Learning outcomes
Student will be able to:
- understand the basics of modeling and visualization in SketchUp;
- use SketchUp to create models, animations and projects;
- understand the use of models for other applications - Presentation, animation or 3D printing;
- apply SketchUp to create home, room, sketch, etc. models and to create ideas for schools;
