Introduction to SketchUp Garden Design

SketchUp Garden Design is part of the landscape design in this software and we can create the design of the garden in the same way as we create the design of the landscape. For creating a garden design we need to understand some tools and their working as well as some other option for the different menus. You can import some staff of garden from outer source that means you can use some 3D modeling component that you have downloaded from the internet. Here in Sketchup, we have an online library for several types of 3d components and you will find this library with the name of 3D Warehouse. So I will explain the garden design to you with a simple garden design.

 

 

How to Create Garden Design in Sketchup?

It totally depends on you how you want to create your garden and how it to be looks like and according to that you can create a beautiful design for your model as well as use that design as landscape design.

And create this type of shape by deleting the unwanted areas of the arc. For deleted unwanted area just select that and press the delete button on the keyboard. Now I will take the select tool and select these two edges of this shape. For selecting both edges hold the shift key after selecting one edge then click on another one.

Now using Push/Pull tool again I will add some height to this floor design.

Select the other two edges of the ground rectangle and offset them as we did in the previous step for offsetting the first side of the rectangle.

I will add the same height to it also as we have added in floor design of the garden.

Now take the Eraser tool and erase unwanted lines for making these objects a single object.

Now select these objects and then make a group of this design so it will become separate from other designs.

Let us now apply the material to our design and for applying material go to the Materials panel of the Default tray option which is at the right side of the working screen.

If there is no Materials tab on your working screen then you can find it in the Window menu. So click on the Window menu then go to Default Tray and choose the Materials option from the scroll-down list of it.

Now let us place some garden staff here and for that, I will go to the 3D warehouse which you can find in the scroll-down list of the Window menu. So go there and click on it.

output 25

Once you click on it a 3D Warehouse dialog box will be open like this. Here in the search box of it, I will search for garden pots.

And download this one from the result of the pot. You can take any other as per your choice according to your design.

output 27

You can scale it according to the required size in your design by using the Scale tool of the tool panel. You can place the plant in this pot also.
