This blog will show you how to draw ceiling in SketchUp. There are lots of tools in tool panel which user not even attempts to use it, so it is very important to get familiar with all those tool bars to make complete use of the product. In this order have a look on “Line” tool in SketchUp to create a simple polygonal & then using the “Move” tool to increase the polygon off the ground by specifying an amount. The techniques are the same as those for designing a floor plan, excepting the same quantity of the objects that a floor plan does. After that to apply color or texture, you can use the Paint Bucket button from the tool bar and then choose a texture, click on it from the gallery of swatches to apply the texture to your ceiling.
Here I am mentioning few steps needs to follow:
- To run the “Line” tool, click on the button shaped like line segments on the tool bar. It is used to create polygons from the line segments. Click on the ground to deploy the first point of one edge of the ceiling.
- Drag your mouse to create a vertical portion of an “L” character. Ceiling will take the shape of the character.
- Then click the mouse to complete the vertical portions of the “L” and drag it to right to create the horizontal base. Click on the mouse and drag up a short distance to your right and do it again to your left as well. Now your are at the base of the vertical portion of the “L”. Click it again and drag upward until a dotted line comes, cutting across the mouse path.
- Now you need to click on mouse and then drag it to left to connect to the starting point of the “L”. SketchUp will automatically fill up the shape with grey shade to indicate that polygon formed for ceiling’s plan.
- At last click you need to run the “Move” tool. For that click on button shaped like a four headed arrow on the tool panel & then drag it upside on the “L” to raise it up from the ground. Give “10” to specify the height “10” feet, then press “Enter button” to position the L-design exactly ten feet above the ground which is a common height.
