Visualizing and communicating spaces in three dimensions is critical to the success of the design of architectural spaces. The interplay of light, color, space and form make exciting spaces function successfully.

​

Traditional methods for exploring these issues are very labor intensive. Use of computer software has enabled quicker and sometimes more accurate) study models to be generated and explored.



Successful integration of modeling software within a design-related practice hinges on how well the computer information can be used, not only inside the computer (to other software packages), but also outside the computer to communicate to clients and review agencies. The output from your SketchUp computer models may be rendered in many different ways; from straight computer printouts using Styles, to raster images for retouching with photo editing software, to vector polygon graphics reworked with illustration software, to producing accurate
perspective underlays for developing hand renderings.
