Förbättrade beskrivningar från Syndetics:

Considerably easier to use than other 3D software, Google SketchUp has found a niche in architecture, landscape design, real estate development, furniture building, and other design professions. This book provides an accessible approach that assumes no previous 3D modeling experience and explains the basic concepts involved in 3D modeling. Introduction to SketchUp shows readers how to build a 3D model, print it, share it, export it to another professional design package, export it to Google Earth, and create a 3D animated tour. It also helps readers harness the power of Google SketchUp so that they can populate Google Earth with 3D buildings, monuments, and other sculptures.

This edition is updated with the latest version of Google SketchUp software, easy-to-read, and practical, this text not only helps you learn how to use Google SketchUp at your own pace; it helps you master the core competencies and skills you need to succeed. Developed with architects, interior designers, landscapers and other design gurus in mind, Google SketchUp is the fast, easy way to build 3D models of anything you wants--buildings, furniture, landscapes, or your own unique creations.
