Explanation. How To Use Sketch up.

How to use Sketch up.

Did you know that sketch up is a 3D printer that you can design all sorts of toys?. Well it is. We use sketch up for our learning. Class 2 has been using sketch up for designing amazing and detailed toys.As you can see sketch up for us is a learning tool. And all of my class room is going to be making wonderful designs of different toys. You might of heard of sketch up before in different places. Sketch up can create anything in 3D and print it out as a 3D object.

Sketch up can be used for all sorts of people like students like me, teachers, parents and designers too. Um what is it used for?. “Oh I'm glad you asked”. This programme is for making things like designing your very own toy that you can print out.

See there is always something you can do on this learning tool. It is quite fun for me. You can use sketch up for a task you have to do or you are trying something new. Class 2 are doing this for learning and to achieve what we have done. Sketch up is a wonderful programme for students like one big school which are with all students.

How do you use it - Well to use sketch up you can download a picture from the internet to use it. You can use your mouse to move the objects around. The keyboard is to undo things. Like for example, if you do a mistake you just push command zed and it will disappear, just like that!. Then you can start all over again. And the keyboard is to redo things too. When you are done you save it into a file and then you click save.

What are tools/special features - The tools on sketch up are a tool bar to select tools to use whenever you need them. There is also a rotating tool to move things around. And a push up tool that you can raise your shapes up more. Oh there is a colouring bucket that you can colour in things. But here is the problem. Um what was is it again. Oh yes when you print it the colour it does not come out the colours you have done it. It just comes out blue plain old blue but you can paint it if you like. And the last thing is a shift pad. So that is a explanation of what sketch up means to me. By the way 3D means 3 determination. There is 2 differences between 2D and 3D. 1. You see 2D is just a piece of flat paper. And 2 3D makes whatever you have designed and it will make it look real.
