SketchUp Week 4 Making a Pagoda Roof:
We will start by making the grass where the house is going to stand,
make it a group.
Create the base of your house, and remember to delete all the lines you don’t want and to
make it a group.
Copy your figure on top of the other so you can make your
roof from that piece.

Enter the group and use the push up tool to make the walls
of your house.
Use the offset tool to make the interior, now use the rectangle tool to make your windows and also the circle tool. At last use the push up tool to make a hole
through them.
Now go inside your roof group. On top of your roof
part you will make a rectangle like this, be aware you do it in
the right axis.

Here is where your pagoda will take form. Like we did on the chessboard, use de arch tool “A” to try and make the figure like
the picture.
Now delete all what you don’t want so you can have this final object. Select the base
roof, then select the follow me tool and press on the pagoda
shape.
You will end up with something like this.
Move your roof down, so it intersects with the rest of the
house so you can have something like this.

As a final result you could have something like this. Remember you can add colours an textures with the paint
bucket tool “B”.
