Example Schematic Models + Materials (.skp included)
I’m obsessed with clean, clear graphics and have always been frustrated that SketchUp was so easy to use for model-making + ideation but never something I could use to present to my clients. The out-of-the-box default styles included with SketchUp were just too primitive. The styles I’ve created balance a crisp graphic convention with painterly, sketchy linework that complements SketchUp’s efficient workflow but retains a professionally delineated esthetic you can use for presentations. The key to achieving the look is embedded in the customized SketchUp Style files (.style) I’ve included. Using them is easy: simply import the style collection, click a button to apply the selected style and your existing models will update immediately
Monochromatic Style + Options
They styles are easily modified to suit your needs and with the workflow videos you’ll see the simple steps I follow to create schematic models, working models and presentation models. You’ll also have access to a simple palette of materials to use on your design projects.
