[Oa] Google Sketchup

[Maria Victoria Garrido]

Hi Eric:
Do you have any pictures to show us your work?
I still didn't try the program but I would like to see your Michigan State capital building.

Hi Eric,

Do you have a particular method you use to go from a Sketchup model to
an OA pattern?  That is, do you just use the Sketchup model as a
reference while you draw the pattern or, do you do something more
systematic or, better, automated?

Any photos of your recent projects online that you would share?
