SketchUp for Windows is a deceptively simple, extremely powerful
rntool for creating, viewing, and modifying 3D ideas quickly and
rneasily. It was designed to offer the elegance and spontaneity of
rnhand drawing with the speed and flexibility of digital media.
rnAs the leading AEC software application specifically tailored to
rnthe design exploration process, SketchUp has been adopted by firms
rnand universities of all sizes, all over the world. It is used to
rndesign and visualize everything from hobbies and home improvement
rnjobs to the largest and most complex residential, commercial,
rnindustrial, and urban projects.
rnAnyone who loves sketching by hand yet finds using CAD cumbersome
rnor frustrating will appreciate SketchUpOs unique approach: Instead
rnof requiring users to learn a vast, complicated set of commands,
rnSketchUp combines a compact yet robust tool-set with an intelligent
rnOinferenceO guidance system that streamlines the 3D drawing process
rn. This lets you focus on whatOs important - your design. The result
rnis a design environment that supports the dynamic, creative
rnexploration of 3D form, material, and light without requiring large
rninvestments in training and support.
rnSketchUp is software designed to accommodate your personal design
rnprocess. (Too often it is your process that must accommodate
rnsoftware.) Start with massing and loose proportions, and then add
rndetail as you go. Or, if you need to draw more accurately, SketchUp
rncan accept exact dimensions or exchange precision data with
rnindustry standard CAD systems at any time. Unlike CAD, you can
rnapproach design problems at the level of abstraction that is
rnappropriate to your design goals, even as they change throughout a
rnproject. With SketchUp, you can modify forms, move walls, add
rnfloors, change components interactively, apply and adjust materials
rn, and more; all with just a few powerful tools. This is combined
rnwith unique real-time rendering and dynamic presentation features
rnto provide you with an impressive array of graphic communication
rncapabilities
