Front Entrances
This the front entrances to my house and my office. There are
two different doors with different handles and windows on each. Notice that
there are some light fixtures placed by the office door and there are steps
leading up to the office entrance

Google SketchUp Final Reflection
For this project, we all used Google SketchUp. We used this because it
was already on our computer and it was a good program. To start this project, I
opened up the program and used the default template. I next made the base of my
house and the main buildings. After that I made the many different multiple
roofs for my house. I then made my porch, deck and the office entryway. When I
was done with those, I made multiple windows for the sides of my house and
different doors for each entrance. I then finished stairs for the entryways and
different poles for the porch. I made our yards, driveways, and sidewalks
leading to our house. I then put different components such as trees, cars,
lights, a basketball hoop, and a trampoline. When done, I put final touches on
my house by painting objects and push-pulling windows to make them more
realistic.
There were many problems that I had with this program. The first problem
I encountered was when I was making roofs. My house had many different roofs.
When trying to create a roof that disappears into a roof that is in a opposite
direction, I could not do it. No matter how many different lines I made, I
could not get the roof to look like my house. I also could not make a
wraparound roof on one side of my house. The wraparound tool would not let me
pull it to the other side. I also had troubles with erasing lines throughout
building my house and moving windows onto walls. The biggest problem that I had
with this program was with the components. I could find and insert components
fine. The thing that I had a problem with was with moving them. It was very
hard for me to move the components into the right positions and make sure that
they were on the wall not directly in front of it. The program also glitches a
lot when you add too many components on a single project. I could not orbit or
move without the program lagging and taking a lot of time to change views. It
was a nice program although there were many problems. I would use this program
again if I needed to make another structure or building.
