If you have a problem comprehending the details behind the different constructions systems and façade finishes, then you need to see them in real life. However, monitoring the entire construction process of a building, just to understand how things work, might not be the most practical or speedy option, especially for students. Also, taking a real-life cross-section in a building to understand what lies beneath is not an option. Perhaps, in the future, there will be x-ray-like goggles for built materials or something similar, but in the meanwhile, we will give you 15 simple tips to easily improve your SketchUp skills because the best available alternative would be 3D SketchUp models of SketchUp Warehouse. Also, check out the SketchUp tutorials for architects.
These well-prepared SketchUp models by the International Masonry Institute (IMI) will show you the different layers of materials, connection, and joints for different construction systems, floor, and wall finishes. at SketchUp Warehouse You can, freely, pan and rotate to view the various models, and click on their parts and layers to identify them from “Layer” under the “Entity Info”.

Whether you use SketchUp for Web on a computer or Chromebook, your device needs mouse and keyboard input.
You can use SketchUp for Web on most internet-connected computers via a recommended browser (Chrome 59+ or Firefox 52+).
To use SketchUp for Web on a Chromebook, your Chromebook needs to meet the minimum specifications. However, the minimum requirements don’t offer the best experience using SketchUp for Web on a Chromebook. Ideally, your Chromebook meets the following recommended specifications.
Minimum Specifications | Recommended Specifications |
---|---|
2.1+ GHz Intel processor | 2.8+ GHz Intel processor |
4GB RAM | 8GB+ RAM |
700MB of available hard-disk space | At least 1GB of available hard-disk space |
Intel HD integrated graphics card with at least 512MB video memory | Discrete Graphics card such as AMD Radeon R9 M37X 2048 MB |
We recommend choosing the largest available offering of RAM for any listed Chromebook. 4GB is strongly preferable to 2GB.
