Monday 11-5: exporting pictures of your sketchup file


HOW TO EXPORT
When you export a file in SketchUp, it means taking a picture of your SketchUp file, and saving it as a picture. This picture can be viewed by anyone, even someone who doesn't have SketchUp on their computer. Here's how you do this:

1) line up your SketchUp file the way you want it to look. You can whirl it around, zoom in or out, whatever it takes to get the perfect picture.

2) Click on the FILE command in the top left corner, then go to EXPORT, then "2D Graphic"

3) give your file a name, preferably with your name in it

4) Save this picture file to your desktop, or anywhere where you will locate it

5) Take 12 additional pictures of this model, usaing different angles and perspective lines

MAKE SURE TO UPLOAD BOTH YOUR NEW SKETCHUP FILE  TO YOUR SHARED FOLDER ON BOX.COM. SEND THE IMAGE FILES YOU HAVE "EXPORTED" TO MY EMAIL

Cheers,
Mr. L
