I had the chance to meet up with Alex at the 2012 3D Basecamp conference, and I’m honored to have him on as the first guest to the MasterSketchup podcast.

In this Episode

Alex is a CAD/BIM expert, and a lecturer at the University of Massachusetts. I wanted to talk with him about his new book and how Sketchup fits into the architecture and construction industry.

He is also an experienced Ruby programmer. He tells us how you can use Ruby in Sketchup to create simple scripts to design things otherwise impossible if attempted to do manually.

Aidan Chopra from Sketchup recently posted a review of Alex’s book on the Official Sketchup Blog.

In this episode you’ll learn about:

• BIM Modeling
• Sketchup in Architecture and Construction
• Ruby Programming for design
• Best Selling Book Architectural Design with Sketchup, Component-based modeling, plugins, rendering, and scripting.
• Alex’s best tips for beginners with Sketchup.
