FRIDAY POST MAY 20, 2016

link to get sketch up and download the app. http://www.sketchup.com/

Sketch up is a great app to build everything 3D. If you are a contractor  then you can build whatever you have to and then you can see what you think of it and of what you want to change. 

Some tools that i liked to use is the rectangle tool, the push pull tool, the paint tool and the tape measure tool.

Lets start with the rectangle tool, if you are making a house then you can us it to make the walls, windows, door and the house its self.You just click were you want it to start then you make the square then click again and it is there. 

Next is the push and pull tool, when you make a square on the ground you take the push pull tool to pull it up to make your house. when you are done make your windows with rectangle tool you take the push pull tool and push them in to look like real windows. you also do that to the door to make it look like a door.

 3rd tool is the paint tool, after you finish make everything to your house you want you get the paint bucket and go pick out a color then paint that part of the house the so on and so on. there is a roofing folder and if you go into that one there is a whole bunch of roofing tile.

Last tool is the tape measure, it helps a lot if you are a construction working especially if you need the measurements. how you use it is your tap on the line and then move the mouse and when you reach the measurement you want then you just click but really help for guides and straight lines.

TIPS AND TRICKS
1) hold down the shift when you select to select them all then tap the lines to select them.

2)sketch up remembers every measurement you do.

3) you can copy and paste to make duplicates.

4) triple click to select everything.

GJ - Day 5 - Opinion

                                                       I am restarting and this is the beginning.


           I have everything i need to survive the first night. i will add more the next day.
these did help me make it through the night but i will need to add water and food to survive the rest of the day.


 
I have added a dorm room, a first aid room and a bio-dome. the dorm room let them sleep so they wouldn't die form lack of sleep.first aid makes sure if they get hurt it will help them get better and the the bio-dome lets the biologists grow food for everyone that came with them to the planet. 
 
I liked the game. it was easy but at the same time not. I found that it was very realistic and even when i died every time i logged on it made me really want to succeed in this game. I did it to my record is like 20 minutes. I kept trying and I will. it is very addictive. Even though I didn't make it that far I still think that if i keep trying I will make it to what I am trying to achieve. Everyone should try it, it isn't for everyone but it doesn't hurt to try it. I am glad I did.

GJ - Day 4 - Plan

my plan today is to build onto my base that i stared yesterday. Like a garden, bedrooms, for starters then after i get those two down i will keep them up to date and build whatever else i would need to survive.
I am going to get everything down before night so i can survive. I will spread everything out so i have enough space to fit everything.

I made a lot more organised so it isn't so close together and then i could add more on to the base.
                                           I added a water tank and a food/water canteen and bedrooms.

     
i added a first aid section, a bar and a couple other things.
i only got 2 screen shots today but i made a lot of progress compared to yesterday.

GJ - Day 3 - Review

planetbase is hard. I died right away as it turns night really fast and if you don't have everything you need down to survive like a oxygen tank,  solar panel, wind mill, water tank, energy tank, and a air lock. You will die over night. Make sure to have it all connected as that is how it gets to each other. I kept making the same mistakes over and over again. I put it all together and I put them way to close together that i couldn't put the bunks by the oxygen  tank and then i did it all over again then I died again. If it doesn't have to be by the oxygen tank then don't put it by the oxygen tank spread it out more so it is not as closed in and clumped.
                                          here i first landed onto the planet and everyone is getting off 


   
i have started to build my oxygen tank it is started to go night so i am going to die as i don't have everything built

i have started to make the rest of my stuff i need to survive. it is starting to go dark.
