Technical Drafting Design Exercise

The document provides instructions for a design exercise to create a 3D model of a two-story residence in SketchUp. It involves importing floor plans from AutoCAD, grouping the plans, using tools like Line and Push/Pull to trace and extrude walls and openings to build each floor, then copying and positioning the second floor and roof plans to complete the model. The final output is a textured 3D model of the two-story residence created following the 10 step process.
