Google sketchup Self paced tutorial 2

This is Google sketchup self paced tutorial 1. It walked me through how to construct my own house using the tools i described in google sketchup. I even got to color it!

Google Sketchup Self paced tutorial 1

This is the Google Skethcup introduction. In the the program was 16 tabs that showed me different techniques on how to utilize sketchup to its fullest potential. The first technique was the orbit. This tool allow you to view to project from different points or angles. The next tool was the push or puller. This enabled you to turn you 2d drawings into 3d drawings by bringing them into space and pulling them up or down. The next tool was the panner. This tool, whcih is the least useful in my opinion, allows you to pan your screen back and forth to get a better view of your project. The last tool is the zoom. This tool is self explanatory and allows you to zoom in and out of your project. All of these tools together give you google Sketcgup!
