In this video, learn the best practices for finding and modifying 3D furniture models for your design projects using SketchUp. We cover the steps to source high-quality 3D models from official websites like Poltrona Frau, Meridiani, and Poliform, and how to import and tweak them using SketchUp and tools like FFD Box. Additionally, discover how to handle furniture that doesn’t have readily available 3D models and how to optimize textures and materials for the best visual results. Whether you’re dealing with ready-made models or custom designs, this guide simplifies the process, saving you hours of modeling time.
