SketchUp - as helping friend of woodworking customers

One of the latest tools to knock the woodworker’s workbench is Google Sketchup, a 3D computer aided design (CAD) software program which can use to create, design, and modify models or project plans. It is like “Etch-A-Sketch” on steroids.

The three-dimensional graphic design software has stepped out from the shop to customers and other people. Now we are discussing about the customization in the large scale of architectural commercial working field or residential furnishing & cabinetry through SketchUp 3D graphic design. Clients are inventing designs from rendering developed digitally in online or by helping of many architectural woodworking firms and custom cabinet makers. It is very easy to learn this 3D modeling program. SketchUp’s simplified toolset guided drawing system and clean look-and-feel help to concentrate on two things: having fun while it has been done and it getting as efficiently as possible when those work has done. Why so many people are already using it.

In one side, the SketchUp software applications are fully involved to the manufacturing activity and it also generated a 3D graphic presentation for many large commercial projects. Representatives from the cabinet, residential furniture, official furniture, architectural woodworking, store fixture, components, and panel and equipment industries share their projections.

In other side, the self-service sketched designs give a short conception about color combinations, wood species, molding profiles, stains and the finishing touches as like decorative hardware to the customers. In the sector of consumer kitchen remodeling, the kitchen Tune-up design application gives various choices as can apply corbels, select colors, select styles, add an island, select three contrasting glazes and try out twenty different types of counter tops, from bleached wood to stainless steel. The choices go on for various like cabinets, backsplashes, counters and many more.

By supporting a 20-20 technology, Home depot offers a Virtual Kitchen Showroom, with template designs by style or layout. Before entering the virtual kitchen showroom, it also requires users for clicking an application rights agreement. Where crown cabinet door styles, moldings and finishes.

As similar, Lowe’s on-line virtual room designer, also based on 20-20 Technologies designs software platform, which give opportunity to the consumers for build up a room from a template, otherwise start one from scratch. From there cabinetry & materials can be placed, changed and also the room designs viewed from different angles and perspectives. The final design of the room intended to be saved, printed and carried to a local Lowe’s store. Finally the application is downloaded to operate in other’s browser.
