Acknowledgments
I
n my previous book, SketchUp for Site Design, the acknowledgments page was inadvertently
omitted, so these acknowledgments are intended as a thank you for both books!
First, to my wife, Jennifer Seidman Tal, who helped cowrite both of these books, I dedicate
both these manuscripts to you. Thank you for teaching me how to write and for supporting me
through the process.
Dedicated to Jenn Seidman
To my family, Nissim, Ruth, Amanda, Eliza, Josh and Jake, Orly, Dave, Karen and Steve,
Shara and Carlo, Sue, Joel and Carl, thank you for your support.
Thank you to John Palmer whose definitions, patience, and deep concepts on the nature of
rendering, light, modeling, and life (in general) helped shape this book’s approach, concepts
and, conveyance. John Palmer contributed some of his modeling talent to this book. It would
not be the same without him.
A special thank you goes to John Pacyga, who helped review and contribute to the books
content and approach. His help was invaluable.
Thanks to Avraham Zhoari, who turned 13 in April 2012 and who is a SketchUp master in
his own right. Even at such a young age, he can model with the best of them.
Thank you to my brother, Ryder Cauley, whose teachings, inspiration, and artistic vision
grace all the works I have ever done and who was an integral part of bringing this book to life.
Thanks to the SketchUp team for their continued support and friendship: Nancy Trigg,
Aidan Chopra, Tyler Millar, Chris Dizon, John Baccus, Chris Kronin, Shara Rice, Tasha Danko,
and the rest.
To Michael Brightman, SketchUp and Layout master extraordinaire—always remember the
REI Starbucks! Thank you to Mark Carvalho for educating and helping me with complex mod-
els and organization. Mark, an architect by trade, was one of the six original developers of the
SketchUp program when it was @Last. Many of Mark’s building models are included in this book.
