Hi can we draft complex geometries like that in Indian temples in drawing sheet manually??

[@AndrewBrody]

Those temples can have amazing details! But very complex, with a lot of curves. I'm not sure to to quickly model in SketchUp, although there may be a bezier-type of drawing plugin to sketch the profiles. You might also try using a vector-based drawing program like Illustrator. On an ipad with a stylus, you might be able to more easily trace the different patterns, export as a DWG file, which can then be imported into SketchUp for manipulation.

10:00 what do you mean by “circulation”?

[@AndrewBrody]

This is the intentional or unintentional pattern that people navigate an architectural space. Typically it's shown in floor plan. Think of the emergency egress plan that buildings have on the wall by the exit...

@@AndrewBrody Thank you!

[@cool.politics]

After years of practice, do you improve your hand drawing of straight lines? Do we really need to practice that?

[@AndrewBrody]

Yes, if you enjoy sketching, it's a life-long pursuit! I like using an iPad now, as it has tools to help make better orthographic and perspective sketches...
