      What distinguishes "existing, old and famous buildings" model criteria, from any kind of "existing building" model criteria?

        Hello Emilia93 -

        Good question indeed. We may be able to find something for you.

        Yes, there are good general tutorials on Sketchup. Yes, there are accurate sources for existing old and famous buildings, too. But no, do not expect to find them combined in one.

        Unless you have the architect's drawings or want to go out and measure old buildings directly - after bracing yourself to a very long ladder - the only accurate sources for reproducing old famous buildings are old books with measured drawings.

        First - familiarize yourself with Sketchup by modelling a few simple objects well.

        Then - try the bigger challenge of modelling a real building after measured drawings.

        The fastest way forward in modelling is to sit next to someone who already knows the software well, asking her lots of questions as you model. Seasoned modelers tend to be patient by nature. So please reach out. If you absolutely cannot find anyone, combine simple video tutorials aimed at general modeling skills with trial and error and questions in forums like this.

        Maybe we could supply you with some titles of architectural reference books with measured drawings of existing old and famous buildings.

        So, what particular types of buildings are you looking for?
