Playing around with: Google Sketchup ! (Making a Rectorate UI Building)

As an architecture students, being able to operate some software that related to our job as an Architect in the future, is a must. One of the most important software for Architect is Google Skethcup or Skecthup. SketchUp is a 3D modeling program designed for architectural, civil, and mechanical engineers as well as filmmakers, game developers, and related professions. It also includes features to facilitate the placement of models in Google Earth. It is designed to be easier to use than other 3D CAD programs.
Many different 3D and 2D exporters are available in SketchUp for uses such as rendering. This model was made in SketchUp and rendered in Kerkythea.
On April 27, 2006, Google announced Google SketchUp, a freely-downloadable version of SketchUp. The free version is not as capable as SketchUp Pro, but it includes integrated tools for uploading content to Google Earth and to the Google 3D Warehouse, a repository of models created in SketchUp. They have also added a new toolbox where you can walk, see things from a person's point of view, labels for models, a look around tool, and an "any polygon" shape tool.
My lecturer gave me an assignment to make The Rectorate building in University of Indonesia with Sketchup. At first, it was so hard to operate this software, but then i started to get use to it, and these are some photos of my work on Skecthup (it was my very first time using sketchup, so i wanna say sorry for the weird shape of the building hehe) Enjoy it :)





 * In some perspective, the building looks white, but actually i`ve colored the whole building with the (almost) same color with the real Rectorate Building in UI. This is my first time using this software, and i`m enjoying it, but still need more practice to make the better one :)
