Hi All,
I've placed both a SketchUp model and a Collada (*.dae) model of the Kensington campus as it surrounds our site on ANZAC parade on the FBE courses drive, here:
S:\Courses\ARCH1101-ArchDes1\Resources\Models
You can access this directly in the labs, or could use VPN from home.
They are the same thing, and Lumion 6 will happily import either ... The trial of Lumion 5 only seems to import the Collada file. They are about 10Mb each.
They will provide invaluable context for your Light Rail designs and your design in Experiment 3 which is to follow.
Feel free to edit as you like.
Regards
Russell

Lumion 6 Download
Hi All,
You can download the educational version of Lumion 6 (which lets you save your work and reload it later) from the faculty server. There are two ways to do this ... visit the faculty labs in person and download it onto a hard drive from the S drive (from a folder called "studentsoftware") ... or, use a VPN to connect to our network from home.
The whole folder is about 6.5Gig.
To connect to the UNSW network via VPN go to http://vpn.unsw.edu.au and follow the setup. If you have trouble try another browser. Then copy and paste this file path \\download.fbe.unsw.edu.au\fbe\studentsoftware\Lumion 6 into windows explorer.
Then run the file called Lumion_6_0_1_LUM6EDUFREE_UNSW Australia.exe and it will install from the other files in the folder.
IMPORTANT!!!!! when you run the educational version it connects to the Lumion servers and gets a temporary licence. When you close Lumion you need to be online so your machine can give the license back ... failing to do this will make that license unusable, and as we only have enough for the people in the class someone (possibly you!) will miss out if the licenses get used up. If the license is returned properly they can be reused over and over.
