Pro-Struct Learns Google Sketch-Up

Clarence Tate shows off his beautiful home.

On February 15, the Pro-Struct learned how to use the 3D modeling software Google Sketch-Up.  For the majority of the group, this session was their very first exposure to the software but the students picked up it very quickly.  Three-year veteran mentor, Dan Polak of Array Healthcare Facilities Solutions led the students through a design activity which resulted in a 3D model of a house. 

The students quickly learned that Sketch-Up offers free downloads of a variety of materials, props, luxury vehicles, and even a godzilla.  The end result was several creatively designed homes.

As a team, Pro-Struct picked up the program quickly and they began to develop potential bridge designs for their final project.  Next week the team will review several bridge sketches and also choose an appropriate location for their pedestrian bridge.
