Making Spiral or Standard Staircases
In this Google SketchUp tutorial, Mike shows us how to create standard staircases, using the diagram of one-room with a second loft-type level. Find out how to not only create the perfect staircase for you, but also how to easily correct small problems like ending up with a top step that is only 2" high. Using two different staircase styles, see just how well a room can work (or not work) with certain kinds of staircases and you get to choose all the finishing touches, like railings, too! And if you've always wanted that beautiful and elegant spiral staircase in your dream home, this tutorial will show you how to do that too. Just one more way that Google SketchUp puts design back in your hands!
Using Dynamic Components in Design
Are you a designer who's tired of working and reworking things when they just aren't right? Or do you love redecorating your home but get a little fuzzy on things such as exact measurements, and what appliances will fit where? Google SketchUp now has the tool you'll need that will allow you to arrange different components of a room, such as a kitchen, and then rearrange them when they just don't seem to fit. No longer do designers need to spend time scratching out blueprints, or getting frustrated when cabinets don't seem to work just so. This interactive program lets you design and redesign to your heart's content and get the picture that's in your head exactly the same as it will be when you're standing in the middle of it, taking it all in! And with this Google SketchUp tutorial, Mike easily and plainly shows you how to do it! Find out how to do it here!
