Unit 2 is all about the special places in Australia

We have used a 3D design program called Sketch Up to make models of the Opera House and Harbour Bridge in Sydney!  It is really tricky to work in 3D because you have to rotate the model to work on different parts and sometimes the program tries to “guess” what you are trying to do and help but gets it wrong so you have to find a different way of solving the problem!

Sketch up is free to use on a laptop or PC at home if you sign up for it.  To have a go, visit:

  1. I really enjoyed making the Sydney Opra house with Harley it was tricky to get it to actually make the faces so we could paint it glass Color . Unfortunately ,it didn’t work that well because it all tried to guess
