Sketchup Project 1 - Classic Architecture

You will be creating a building inspired by classical (Greek/Roman) architecture. TO complete this assignment, you will need to do some research into elements of these ancient designs. Yours must include:

• Either Tuscan or Doric columns; regardless of which you choose, they need to be fluted.
• A pediment that includes decorative edging using the Follow Me tool.
• Dentils for decoration on the pediment
• An entablature. You need to decorate its frieze with some simple shapes or designs using something such as the line and arc tools.
• beak moulding must be used in some part of your decoration.
• Steps created using the Follow Me tool.
