Welcome to SketchUp! This book is all about Google’s fantastically popular
3D modeling program, ready for you to create 3D drawings with.
SketchUp is ultrapowerful, and lets you draw models with ease. Need to
draw a new engine? SketchUp can do it. Need to lay out your back yard
plantings? SketchUp can help. Want to plan a new office, positioning
chairs, desks, and workstations as needed? SketchUp is for you.
SketchUp’s forte is 3D modeling—creating drawings of 3D objects. There
are plenty of 2D drawing programs out there but very few of SketchUp’s
caliber and ease of use for 3D.
Want to become a SketchUp-meister? Stay tuned, you’ve come to the
right book.
You’re going to get a guided tour of SketchUp in this book. SketchUp is
too large a program to cover in complete detail in a book this size, but
you’re going to get a real working knowledge of SketchUp, suitable for
creating just about any drawing you want.
