 Google Sketch up
▪ Usage
▪ Architecture
▪ Engineering
▪ construction
▪ benefit
▪ Free source (sketch up 8)
▪ Easy
▪ Used for large object with many component
▪ Light, not require high computer spec.
▪ Cons
▪ Minim rendering tools
▪ Cannot modelling complex curved shape

 Workflow
Creating ship For easy process, efficient, simplified ship
dtail modelling, prioritize the part model
component model from important and big component to
small component
1. Machinery (propeller, rudder, etc)
2. deck equipment (anchor, winch,
Create &
Generate basic windlass, crane, etc)
Modified shape generate
shape / surface 3. Hull outfitting (windows, door)
material
4. Safety equipment
5. etc
This step will give benefit such as;
Edit material Preview / ▪ Fit up main item first to avoid major
for finishing render design change
▪ To check the proportional shape and
scale
▪ etc
