How I made the train!!

To make the design of the train I used a program called Google Sketch up. This pragram is used for designing 3D models. To make the tain I used many methods that are available through Google Sketch Up. The kind of tools that I used to design the train were; Push/Pull tool, Move tool, 3D text, Rectangular box, Circular box, paint, orbit, pam, look around, walk around and pencil. These are most of the tools that I used to design my product.
This is the toolbar that I used to make the design of my train ;
I used the rectangular box for the shape of the train and also for the windows, chairs and doors. I used the circular box for the window at the front of the train and also for little parts that I added in the inside of the train for instance the stop and go buttoms. I used the 3D text to write the text for the go and stop buttons in the drivers area on the train. I used paint to paint everything in my train. I used orbit and pam to look around my design at different angles and also to zoom in on a certain area. I used the tools look/walk around to look and walk around my train to see if everything was in order. The are just some of the things I used these tools for to make my design.
After creating the train by using the program Google Sketch Up, I feel that I have a better understanding of the 3D design program. I have a better understanding because I know how to use the tools better and I found it easy to make 3D models with the Google Sketch Up Program.
