This video describes an architectural workflow for using SketchUp to build a digital site model with context buildings, aerial imagery, and 3D terrain. It covers the following:
- Scouting the site using Google Earth and Google Maps (starting at 00:35)
- Bringing a geo-snapshot of your site into SketchUp (starting at 05:20)
- Importing existing 3D buildings (starting at 07:30)
- Modeling missing buildings from scratch (starting at 10:00)
- Making massing model versions of the photo-textured buildings (starting at 16:30)
- Tracing roads from the aerial photo (starting at 23:47)
- Working with a site that isn't flat (starting at 34:17)
- Creating a new ground plane and street name labels (starting at 42:05)
- Creating utility scenes to show different versions of the model (starting at 50:23)
