Photographs are also used for reference and in the SketchUp Photomatch
tool. We have found the Photomatch tool to be a very powerful tool in mode-
ling large existing structures and equipment. This is especially true for exterior
shots of large buildings or for buildings that cannot be easily measured.
The existing facility model is our starting point for the new project. Since SketchUp
is so intuitive, modeling using this tool feels more like constructing. The act of mod-
eling an existing facility enhances our understanding of the facility. This is a very
powerful step in our design process; as we create the model, we create a greater
understanding and familiarity of the spatial constraints of the site and project.
