Book Description
Thanks to its quick models that are dimensionally accurate to a high level of detail, SketchUp is used for a wide range of 3D modeling projects such as architecture, interior design, landscape architecture, and video game design. Getting Started with SketchUp Pro is your primer to adopting and getting ready to use Trimble's most impressive design software.
This book will show you how to lay the foundation of a project from scratch, set up appropriate units, and follow a guided path to structure your 3D models. You'll understand the workflows for creating designs from sketches, making CAD drawings (DWG), and even updating your existing 3D models. Finally, you'll work with extensions and 3D Warehouse to find new workflows and models to add to your skill set.
By the end of this SketchUp book, you'll be able to confidently create and share models of your design through CAD drawings and 3D views, and even take them online through the 3D Warehouse.
