Week 2 - She-Shed for Sophie
Using SketchUp for Schools
Task: Make a she-shed for Sophie (or Catherine)
The girl you see when first starting the old SketchUp Make 2014 is Sophie. She needs a hang out place. You should make a she-shed from scratch that at least meets the following specifications:
Sophie or another character is near the main door.
Walls should have a thickness. Six inch thick outside walls are typical.
One doorway, tall enough for Sophie with room to spare. If you have a door it must be halfway open.
Two window holes cut out of the wall, of any shape.
A triangular roof as found on most houses with at least two sides hanging over the outside wall by an equal amount.
Complete the SPT-B Color_and_Materials Self-Paced Tutorial.
Outside walls should have a brick, stone and/or wood texture.
The roof should have a shingles texture.
Four pieces of furniture of your choice inside. You may use objects from Components, 3D Warehouse or make your own.
