Fleshing out your site plan
Now that you've set up your site base using one of the methods introduced in the preceding section, you can flesh out the volumes in no time. This process is called massing. The idea here is to give an overall impression of the 3D space that buildings occupy. Details can be modeled later on, provided they will be visible in the frame.
Massing the buildings
To begin massing your context, perform the following steps:
- Make sure that your base plan is turned into a group.
- Right-click and select Lock. Now, you can't inadvertently change anything.
- With the pencil tool, retrace the outline of a building.
- Notice how the rubber band turns magenta to lock to the perpendicular (right angle) of an existing line. In this way, you can draw all walls at right angles to the first wall.
- Complete the outline by returning to your starting point. SketchUp will fill the outline with a surface.
- Push-pull the surface up to the height of the building.
You can turn the building now into a component to use elsewhere:
- Triple-click on a surface of the new building.
- Check that all the lines and polygons that belong to the building are now selected.
- Right-click and select Make Component.
- Assign a recognizable name to the new component. If you don't have anything else to go by, use the street name and building number.
- Repeat the previous steps to create boxes for all the buildings on your site.
Stick to adding simple blocks quickly to your site, so that you can get a good idea of how your new building fits in. You can create more details or add textures to these buildings later if you need to. The following image shows a few street blocks with the buildings as rough 3D shapes. It’s already enough detail to give you the overall idea of a city blocks and connecting streets.
