Sketchup -LESSON 1 -Tiles

Sketchup - The idea was to make things 3D printable - We will still look in that direction but ...




You may want the DESKTOP version - this is SketchUp Make 2017

Notes from the following VIDEO: He shows you how to download - you do not need to. I worked from the web version. It works well. Chrome may crash "Aw Snap" - if so switch to Firefox. We will work in feet and inches just like he does. He then goes on about tool bars - in the online line version you get what they give you - so you may have to hunt a little to find what he using.
He also talks about how the program works - listen to it. LEARN: Select first - choose tool - do the work. LEARN: Think about position and dimension. Do not delete the person! (Yet). Just move him or her out of the way.
