In this Episode
I work in the commercial construction industry, and I use Sketchup all the time to help me visualize tricky details on jobs we work on.
Many times, I like to include some form of my model in a correspondence to the architect or contractor, so they understand exactly what we intend to build.
Most of the time, I can’t just send them my Sketchup file and say “Here’s what we’re going to do…” I’ve got to do some work and prepare the file as a 2D presentation, turn it into a PDF, or do a screenshare with the project manager to discuss the detail. I’ve used many different methods of sharing my Sketchup model and in this podcast episode I go over 10 different ways you can do just that.
