Timber Frame Design with Google Sketchup With Clark Bremer Clark Bremer is presenters of this1 ½ day hands-on pre-conference workshop that will introduce you to Sketch-up and have you creating useable drawings. Google Sketchup is a 3D drawing program availablefree from Google. Its a great tool for modeling timber frame designs in 3D, and you cant beat that price! You can create simple drawings where timbers are represented as simple rectangular solids. This is often all you need to demonstrate to your clients what their frame will look like. But Sketchup is capable of doing much more. You can actually make a highly detailed model that includes all of your joinery design. You can then create accurate shop drawings for laying out timbers in your shop. Workshop Overview Clark will begin by teaching the basics of Sketchup to build a simple timber frame model from scratch. We will then discuss how to customize Sketchup for timber framing using Ruby plugins (developed by the instructor). Each student will install them on his/her computer. Finally, we will go through a detailed example of how to create a timber frame model that can be used for creating shop drawings. The following broad points will be covered: Timber Component Libraries. Discuss and demonstrate the use of component libraries to quickly assemble a frame from pre-defined timber components. Joinery Libraries. Discuss and demonstrate how to create new timber components using pre-defined joinery components, which are used to expand the timber component library. Joinery Creation. Discuss and demonstrate how to create new joinery components for expanding the joinery library. Shop Drawings. Discuss and demonstrate how to create precise, four-sided shop drawings automatically. We will then polish them off with dimensions, and shop notes. Participants will leave the seminar with a list of resources, including: Where to find general tutorials
