Style builder XP!!!!!!! XP!!!!!

[dattoboy1]

how do I load my sketchup file into style builder?

[PCGOD1984]

It's not that new. It's been around since Vista came out. I've been using it since then.

I'm a landscape architecture student and this is the stylish future of design and I apologize to all the CAD veterans out there used to bland forms of expression. I can drop a sketchy bldg in photoshop and do some pretty amazing stuff.

I think it´s perfectly explained, and I love this new tool. It allows me to give my clients a general idea of my designs in an informal but very nice way.

What the fuck does this program do? It just makes your design look sketchy?

If you are a designer then why the fuck do you build something and the make it sketchy?

Normal Designer Do it in the other direction --> 1. Hand drawn concept, 2. Drawing further cleaned and then they make a model.

I don't get it...

@TheMegitto

sketchy diagrams are imperfect and rough, they give a general impression of what the finished design will be. the initial dialogue with a client just clafiries what the client is looking for. For this a designer might show rough sketches.

The advantage of using a cad program (which uses precise measurements) such as sketchup to do rough sketchs, is that these sketches can be quickly altered and worked on to create a slick looking presentation/model.

@TheMegitto

so basically you make it sketchy because at that moment that's what you want to convey, you want to show that the design is open to reworking and change:)

Apart from all the other responses, it's a style. Sometimes clients prefer designers who have a certain style. I've used the sketchy style before and they loved the free organic strokes of the drawings as opposed to real boring photorealistic renders that convey only the materials of your design but not the feel and process.

It's hard to hear

[farstarfilms]

wow this is totally freaking me out!!! how the hell can you design a structure like this is this a joke?? And what the hell is strokes!!! this video makes no sense!!

I have worked with autocad for 15 yrs and i have no idea wht this dude is saying!!

Perfectly detailed CAD designs are great for the engineer, but a "sketchy" style view of a project like this is better for the initial "sell" of your ideas. It allows the buyer to absorb the overall feel and emotion of a project, without getting bogged down in details. It gives the buyer less to object to, and helps to make them feel more in control, since details aren't set in stone, even though they very well may be.

totally incomprehensible perhaps you should start with what is the difference between the panes

[cdubcdub]

Saying 'I'm going to go ahead and' repeatedly during your turorial sounds awkward and by the end was pretty annoying. I realize it's a harmless American affectation, but you would do well to lose it. Great tutorial otherwise. Thanks.
