SketchUp Room 203 =Furnish Room 203= Your task is to work together with other students and use SketchUp to furnish room 203 The objective is to COLLABORATE to get a lot of work done ACCURATELY and EFFICIENTLY

You'll need
 * Pencil & Paper
 * Tape Measures (be ready to share - if tape measures are NOT available, you can use your old models, or ESTIMATE the dimensions of the objects in the room)
 * TO READ ALL THESE INSTRUCTIONS before you begin! Watch your time!

> (so we have a team working on the student tables, another on the teachers desk, computer desks, cabinets etc.) > add YOUR NAME discretely to a surface of your model
 * MODEL (20 minutes - work fast!)**
 * 1) Students should form groups of THREE
 * 2) Each GROUP should choose a DIFFERENT piece of furniture in the classroom to model
 * 1) Using available tape measures (ask a teacher if you need to retrieve them from the shop) - the teams should record the dimensions of their object. EACH MEMBER of the group should use paper and pencil to sketch their OWN rough plans
 * 2) Each student should then go back to their own computer stations and use SKETCHUP to model the object. Be precise - these models should PERFECTLY match the actual dimensions of our furniture within a quarter inch. Do not leave any dimensions on your models.


 * SHARE (10 minutes)**
 * 1) Once you've finished your model - Take a look at the models made by memebrs of the OTHER groups
 * 2) Use the Google email system to send (and exchange) your model to a few members of the OTHER groups that you admire

> If you did everything to scale, it should be sized perfectly for our "virtual room"
 * COMBINE (10 minutes)**
 * 1) Click and open this model of Room 203 [[file:JMSS Room 203.skp]] and use SAVE AS to save it to your server space with an appropriate name (starting with your lastname)
 * 2) COPY your model (CTRL-C) and paste it (CTRL-P) into the room model
 * 1) Copy and paste models from other group members into the room - choose the BEST version if you have multiples
 * 2) If you still have an appropriate model on your server from our EARLIER exercises, you could add it as well


 * DUPLICATE and ARRANGE (20 minutes)**
 * 1) Use the MOVE tool's COPY function (hold the CTRL key down - review the SketchUp video "Technique_Copy_Download.mov" on the resources server) to **accurately** duplicate and arrange the furniture in room 203

In the last 5 minutes of class, YOU'RE DONE! Use SAVE AS to name YOUR copy of room 203 appropriately, and hand it in to the appropriate HANDINS folder EVEN IF YOU AREN'T FINISHED - Hand in the results of your efforts this period!
