Gap Inc SketchUp Training for Store Planning
This summer concept3D was selected by GAP Inc. to train 12 Designers on Google SketchUp in their San Francisco offices. Gap researched many Training companies and decided that concept3D stood out as the best. The custom workshop was tailored to The Gap's design environment and covered all levels of SketchUp users. The primary goal of the class was to leverage SketchUp in making quicker design decisions. The class started with the basics with experienced users even learning a few tips and tricks. Using the fundamental tools, the class modeled store fixtures and furniture directly from CAD and PDF plans.
Applying 3D for School Search - Google Maps (Earth) for Campuses
Since Google decided to incorporate Google Earth terrain, imagery and 3D models as part of standard Google Maps search and navigation, I felt that it may be useful to discuss its significance from a campus maps and modeling perspective.
Prior to this advancement, all 3D content hosted by Google Earth would either be 1) presented on the Google Earth client (and Google 3D Warehouse) and/or 2)Presented on any other domain via the Google Earth Web browser application programming interface (API).

The First 'Self Service' Site for Custom SketchUp 3D, Renderings and Google Earth Models
Over the past few months we've developed an eCommerce site that allows professionals to order custom 3D models, renderings and/or Google Earth content. Our intent is to allow professionals to work with a trusted, U.S.-based, firm to act as their in-house SketchUp, rendering and Google Earth shop at outsourced prices. concept3D's Self Service Site
The Process is Easy:
- There are 3 Step tabs that walk you through your order.
- Each Step tab lets you choose from options such the size of your project to adding people and rendering out the model.
- Models can be created from just about any file type. Here is an example where a PDF was used.
