Google SketchUp!

 

While building this house I understood most of what I was doing, and It was really fun to go through all of these steps and have an outcome of a house! This program I think is very creative and cool. Some challenges I faced were the solar panels, they just didn't work but when I finally figured it out I felt very accomplished. I also faced other issues with just trying to understand how to do something. It was a struggle at times, however, I enjoy a bit of a challenge. The tools I used for the first time were pretty much all of them, I have never used a push/pull tool so it was fun to figure them all out. I have used some of these tools in other programs but not many of them. A tool I found very helpful was the delete button, I messed up a few times and was thankful I had this tool. Another tool I found helpful was the rotating tool, at many times I needed to look at a different spot of my house and this tool made it possible. I enjoyed this project, even though at times I wanted to quite of frustration. I worked through this frustration and built a house!
