I've read many wurmians use a 3D modeling tool to plan their projects, Because of that i've decided to make a Guide for one of these software,[http://sketchup.google.com/ Google Sketchup]. It's not very hard to understand and Sketchup; you'll soon find out you're able to plan a wurm project with it. If you need any help send [[Player:Beastenator|me]] a pm ingame or on the forums (name: Beast)

Sketchup isn't very hard. You can learn the basics in a couple of minutes using [http://sketchup.google.com/training/videos.html official tutorials] or and [http://download.sketchup.com/downloads/training/tutorials50/Sketchup%20Video%20Tutorials.html video'svideos]. The only thing I can say is try to make some simple things like blocks first, when . When you think you're ready for the wurm Wurm mapping, read on.

* Make sure the the measures in the [http://img360.imageshack.us/img360/5919/guidesv6.jpg lower right box ] are in metresmeters,if not go to [http://img360.imageshack.us/img360/116/preferencesmv1.jpg preferences ] and set it to metric meters 3D in template tab.* Now select make a square of 4x4 meters. Just start drawing a square and type 4,4 then hit enter.

* Use the move tool to raise land, click on the corner you want to raise/lower , press up key and raise/lower the corner .1M 0,1 meter per dirt high.

* Download the needed house models, fence models and gate models.** If you need a pallisade, Draw a some circles next to eachother each other and pull them to around 5 metres high. You can make cones on them as well if you like** If you need a Tall stone wall, make a rectangle as long as a tile border, Take the low stone model and pull it to 5 metres Meters high.* Start placing the models in the correct place, always make sure the outside of a house wall has to line lines up with the tile border.

* If you want to combine the 1/4th parts with the 1x1 parts, place them next to eachother each other and fix them.

* Delete all guides and other unneeded stufflines

{{cleanup}}==Hints and tips== *Download all wurm models and save them in one file, this can speed up your mapping.* The best way to improve in Wurm mapping is by doing it often.* Try making some non-wurm models as well, by doing so you'll understand more complex structures and you'll be able to make more complicated maps.* If you have trouble raising the land exactly, you can make a [[Categoryhttp:Babel/W]][[Category:Guides]/img510.imageshack.us/img510/6030/linerps8.jpg vertical liner]for it.
