Always Use Proxy Components in SketchUp for Faster Rendering

Rendering is always a time-taking task, no matter what application you use. SketchUp offers some easiest solutions that not only make your design better than others but also speed up your modeling process. Proxy components are such time-saver feature that allows you to work faster on your model and get a picture realistic rendering.

Proxy component, in SketchUp term, is used to replace objects with high-poly counts so that you can avoid the delay to complete the rendering. Saving time in rendering will let you focus on other designing detail of your SketchUp.

You can use both low-poly and high-poly count in Proxy component as per your requirement. Creating models and setting their views will preferably be done with the low poly version. The high-poly count is used for the rendering that maintains the quality of the picture. Current components of your model get the required replacement with this feature. You can use the same name for replacing your current component with low poly and high poly geometry. You can also create a new component with a different name that has high-poly layer in the original form and low poly geometry in low poly layer.

How to create a Proxy component: Creating a proxy component follows simple steps. Right a click on the component you want to replace and choose Create Lo-Poly Proxy Component from RP Tools submenu. You need to select the options you want for your model and click ‘OK’.

After clicking Create Lo-Poly Proxy Component option, you will get a dialogue box containing all essential details that you need to choose.

These are:

• Replace existing component
• Create component with new name
• Criss-cross images
• Wireframe Bock

Criss-cross proxy object can be restored to the previous position with choosing restore component from Lo-Poly proxy.

Terms that you need to know:

• Criss-cross images – As the name says, your model will appear in crisss-cross look for thumbnail image.
• Block with images – it blocks the images of the original component.
• Wire Frame Block – wire frame blocks will replace the components you select.

Layers after conversion:

• Low-Poly On – component with low poly geometry will be displayed.
• Hi-Poly On – the original component and geometry will be displayed.
• Both on – both layers are turned on in your model.

Proxy components solve the most complex problem while designing on SketchUp. Rendering always takes times and it slows the system. With this feature, you can easily avoid the issue and make your rendering better and faster.

Here is also a link of a video tutorial that will guide you on how you can create proxy components.

Landscape designing software – A Better Visualization of Your Design

Landscape planning is a most needed step, especially for a new home. Expert designers carve out the best plan for a landscape after analyzing the views, activities and environments of the location. Traditionally, the plan is designed with pencil and paper that is not only time-taking but also ineffective for redrawing. Though it is considered to be the organic way of a design, today’s designers are looking for easy alternatives.

Professional landscape designing software applications are designed by companies to help designers add details as perfectly as they visualize.

Landscape designs on paper are more like an artistic job where designers consider and measure each detail very carefully. The downfall of such designs is nothing but a lack of efficiency. Redrawing of the designs is time-consuming, and getting a proper visualization is also very difficult.

3D landscape design software applications are growing in numbers with time. The useful applications and tools carry everything that is needed to make a proper plan for your landscape. Google SketchUp proves to be handy as it allows even beginners to design like an expert.

Drawing landscape on paper does not communicate well with the clients. The plans even fail to cut the mark due to the lack of clarity. This is why landscape designing software applications outrun the former one and make a strong place in the designing tool of the planners.

These software applications are also not free from shortfalls. Students and designers who are confident on designing in a conventional way feel uncomfortable with these tools. They need to go through an extensive training program to learn the application first before drawing a design using the tools. The applications are costly and they require a timely update.

The above-mentioned problems of 3d landscape design software are minor ones that can easily be eliminated. The benefits of these applications are countless and they bring the profit-driven result also. A better communication with the clients is established by the software application.

Advantages make you convinced that professional landscape design software application is a necessary tool for the designers. You can develop a master plan with colors and details that add a real look to your model. Editing any part of your design is not worrisome; rather it is an easily executed work by the designers.

Creating perspective photo through pencil is a hard and time-consuming job, and the end result is also not as clean as the design done by software application. You can prepare a virtual photo of your design with all meaningful aspects. Trees, flowers, sidewalks and other necessary details of landscape design are preloaded in the software application so that you can drop them in your design as per you like.

Generally, 3D designs software tools like SketchUp come up with all important things required for designing a landscape. Companies, though, go further and create applications specially designed for sketching landscape digitally. 3D images and designs take clients to the virtual landscape and give them a real-time thrill to walk through the design.

Client Communication: the key to better projects

Delivering SketchUp models to the clients through right communication is important for projects and Nick shows in his video. Communication doesn’t stand only about speaking to and hearing from people, but more than that it is about understanding the total message. A good communication depends on many things like the language will use, delivering message with the tone of respect, the feeling and the body language at the time of talking. These all play important roles in every communication process and can also deliver a confused and wrong message if they used in a wrong way.

In every organization, project manager has the main role of communicating with others such as clients, co-workers, advisors, dealers etc and also responsible to present the right message to the right person at the right time.

Communication is a symbol of the “transfer of information form one individual to another”. It is seen that the failure reason of the projects basically is the miscommunication, most of the project deliverers fail to clearly understand the vision and the project’s success criteria. This vision should be strongly communicated to each shareholder and team member and the whole team must be able to understand the total result for working together for a common goal.

A poor communication can certainly damage any project or relationship and break down the strength of the project. For a good communication one has to be knowledgeable about every detailed and updated thing about a project so that he could deliver the right information to the clients or shareholders.

It is not that this problem happens only in some cases or happens in certain time; it has become a regular problem and harming the growth of the projects. A right communication to all the shareholders in a clear and actual manner is the capital thing as it clears about the kind of the delivered messages.

When you are in the field of architecture or design, communication plays the most vital part in every project and through 3D communication tools it has become easier to communicate with various people over a project at a time. A rich communication with full of right knowledge and information makes a project more successful and in SktechUp it is also important.

SktechUp is not only a tool for modeling and designing it also known for its sharing capacity in 3D. Often designers make models and show the idea through the 3D communication system to their clients or other teammates as a presentation or for opinion. A good representation of the works of models, their designing, capacity and way of working will become the reasons of success and the bad one cause failure.

To improve the communication way Nick Sonder, a member of SketchUp team has guided everyone with his wonderful SketchUp models and LayOut documents. Nick himself is a brilliant commuter and makes a good communication with the clients throughout the whole process and with the help of his friend, Houzz he had organized design ideas and collaborated with others. He has some brilliant concepts and produced a video tutorial as guide for all.
