Hmmmm, again, a whole week without blogging. It seems I need to write down reminders to blog all of my work. It isn't that I am not working on my project, it's just I seem to forget about my blog! But anyways, I have pretty much the whole high school ROUGHLY modeled.
As you can see, I have a Google Earth birds eye view of the school below my model. Since I never got the layout of the school, I had to improvise. I used SketchUp's geo-location tool to insert an accurate size picture to model off of. This came in really handy when I modeled the basic lay out of the school. I have everything modeled except J Building, and parts of the new gym. The hardest part of the modeling is height accuracy. I measured the height of the classrooms, multiplied that by two, and added 3 feet for in between floors, and used that for G and H buildings height. The rest for now is kind of based off that. I will be doing more measuring in the coming days to make sure my model is as accurate as possible. Buildings such as Kulp and the new and old gym still are not modeled correctly. I am planning on taking some measurements and pictures this week to model off of.
So I think I am off to a good start, I think I need to kick it up a little bit, but I am on my way!
