Holy Toolbars, Batman!
Sure, you can draw just about anything you want in Google SketchUp. But before you do that, you'll need a few toolbars to help along the way. And SketchUp provides more than just a few toolbars to help you do that. Check out this hilarious pic that we found on SketchUpTips, where the entire screenshot is toolbars, with an itty bitty section reserved at the bottom for drawing. Now of course, you can hide these different toolbars and such while you're working in SketchUp. But one has to admit, looking at this picture, that the toolbars in SketchUp might be a bit much.
SketchUp Welcomes Woodworkers!
Once again SketchUp proves that it's not just for computer geeks or architects. Now you don't even have to be an interior designer to enjoy all that Google SketchUp can do for the inside of a house. And if you've ever dreamed of creating fine pieces of furniture to be displayed in model homes, or just in your own dream home, SketchUp has something new to offer you!
Imagine building a beautiful chair, bench, or stunning bed frame, all before you actually touch one single piece of wood. Jim explains how you can do it all now in SketchUp and goes into a little further detail about the many ways that woodworkers can now benefit from SketchUp tools. You can even see your own models rotate in 3D!
SketchUp for the Holidays!
Those who still have a little bit of holiday cheer left in them might want to check out this SketchUp Santa that can be found at www.sketchupdate.blogspot.com. Here you can play around with Santa and rotate him around using the SketchUp 3D tool. This is not only great holiday fun but a great introduction to the 3D tool that makes SketchUp so unique and exciting! And not only can you move Santa around while he's either sitting or standing, but you can change his reindeer and even decorate your own gingerbread house! Gather the kids around for some good old Christmas fun and add the world of viruality into the classic family traditions!
