SketchUp for Woodworkers Part 1: Getting Started
This ShopClass is comprised of our series of 12 lessons in the basics of using
SketchUp (a free 3D-modeling program from Google). These video lessons take
you step by step from setting up the software to gathering information from
your finished model. So you'll head to the shop with all the information you
need to build any project with confidence. You'll know the exact sizes of
every part, and how the parts go together – before you ever cut any wood!
• 2 Hours of Expert 3D Computer Modeling Instruction
• Learn at Your Own Pace
• Build on Screen Before You Head to the Shop
• Learn the Basics of Google SketchUp
• Master the Skills You Need
• Techniques for Quick Designs
• Set Up SketchUp for Efficiency & Accuracy
ShopClass Sketchup: Part 2 shows you how to quickly and easily resize even the
most complex plans. The video lessons from this download build on the skills
learned in ShopClass Part One. You'll learn the magic of copying instead of
drawing and the art of making changes. You'll be able to print detailed parts
lists and full-sized templates. You'll know the exact sizes of every part and
how the parts go together — even before you cut the wood! Add accurate details
such as dovetails, raised panels and cope-and-stick-joints to your projects.
