3D Modeling the Tallest Building in Texas LIVE
114Texas is known for going BIG, and its skyscrapers are no exception. This time on SketchUp Live, Aaron models what will be the tallest building in the Lone Star State upon its completion next year.
Waterline is a 74-story mixed-use development alongside Waller Creek in Austin, TX. It has unique design elements like V-shaped structural columns, indoor/outdoor amenities, and a multi-tiered tower and podium design.
