This video is a part of the Worlds Greatest Architecture Series. In this series I'll teach you to model some of the most famous buildings in human history. Check out the rest of the videos here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kME83bKH0PU&list=PL1aC9sZFriUXsS2BBRF3_CG_-KRL5DfOl
Today we're going to model the Parthenon, one of the most famous tamples in the world. It’s remains are on the Athenian Acropolis, Greece.
If you want to follow along with all the steps, and recreate this exact model yourself, I suggest you set the speed of the video to 0,5. That way you can follow the tutorial with no problem. But If you’re just here for the speed build timelapse, just sit back and enjoy the video as is, or you can even double the speed.
In the lower right corner of your screen you can see what I’m typing but beware, I don’t use Sketchup default shortcuts as you ll probably notice, but I’ll list all my custom shortcuts right bellow. Also, be aware that my key logger displays my Shift shortcuts as CAPITAL letters, so if I type Shift + A, my keylogger will display Capital A, and if I type just A it will display lowercase a. That said: here is the full list:

Shortcuts:
Ctrl+1 - Select tool
Ctrl+Q - Draw line
Shift+A - Draw arc
Ctrl+W - Mirror tool (plugin)
Ctrl+Shift+X - Move tool
Ctrl+Shift+A - Offset tool
Ctrl+R (or R) - Rotate tool
Alt+Y - Hidden geometry (on/off)
Ctrl+D - Tape measure
S - Scale tool
E - Eraser
C - Draw circle
Y - Draw rectangle
V - Paint bucket (Alt - Eyedrop tool)
A - Push pull
The rendering is done with Vray plugin for sketchup, but I keep it extremely simple. I just decrease the intensity of the light, increase the size of the sun to get that soft shadows effect and work around refraction and reflection of the materials.

The Parthenon is a former temple on the Athenian Acropolis, Greece, dedicated to the goddess Athena, whom the people of Athens considered their patron. Construction began in 447 BC when the Athenian Empire was at the peak of its power. It was completed in 438 BC, although decoration of the building continued until 432 BC. It is the most important surviving building of Classical Greece, generally considered the zenith of the Doric order. Its decorative sculptures are considered some of the high points of Greek art. The Parthenon is regarded as an enduring symbol of Ancient Greece, Athenian democracy and Western civilization, and one of the world's greatest cultural monuments. To the Athenians who built it, the Parthenon and other Periclean monuments of the Acropolis were seen fundamentally as a celebration of Hellenic victory over the Persian invaders and as a thanksgiving to the gods for that victory.
