Winthrop Campus 3D modeling
This document discusses a student project to create 3D models of campus buildings at Winthrop University using SketchUp modeling software. It provides an overview of the current state of 3D building models on Google Earth for Winthrop and Clemson University. The document outlines the step-by-step modeling process and includes screenshots of a completed 3D model of the DiGiorgio Campus Center building. Finally, it lists additional campus buildings that could be modeled in the future.

- 6. Modeling Process Work 3D Modeling Tips: •Obtain any floorplans or drawings of the building. •Take pictures of all exterior facades and surfaces. •Take pictures at 90 degree corners and straight on. •Avoid any obstructions in photos. ie. people, freestanding signs, tree branches, etc. •Take pictures during overcast weather to avoid sharp and definite shadows in photos. •Do not crop photos prior to importing them in to SketchUp. •Make elevations of facades prior to pushing/pulling surfaces in SketchUp. The Process: Step 1: Find and insert Geolocation & Google Earth Step 2: Outline the shell of the building using drawings and the image of site in SketchUp. satellite image. Place outline relative to satellite image as the given site view may be distorted. INDS 483 Campus 3D Modeling Fall 2012
- 7. Modeling Process Work Step3: Using given construction documents, drawings, or photos construct elevations of the building’s exterior facades. Step 4: Apply each façade to the appropriate building surface to begin pulling/pushing tool to create the building mass. INDS 483 Campus 3D Modeling Fall 2012
- 8. Modeling Process Work Step 5: Once the building mass is created, apply images to the appropriate facades and surfaces including the roof. *Resizing, warping, and cropping of images should be done in the SketchUp model. Step 6: After applying all images to each surface, push and pull massing details within the images. ie. Window ledges, protrusions, & jet-outs within the pictures to bring depth to the building model. INDS 483 Campus 3D Modeling Fall 2012
