Lesson Description

Explore and learn a variety of SketchUp's tools and features.

Instructions

  1. Sign in at SketchUp for Schools.

  2. Create a new model.

  3. Title your model so that it includes your name and this lesson's title.

  4. Watch the video below and respond to the questions and prompts found in this Formative activity. As techniques are demonstrated, complete them in your own model. You will capture screenshots of your project and submit them at built-in checkpoints along the way. Pause and rewind as often as necessary.

Efficient strategies may include tab-hopping, side-by-side windows, using multiple screens/devices, etc.

Quick Reference

The SketchUp interface includes a variety of menus and toolbars that provide access to its many tools and resources. You can find helpful reference documentation regarding each of the items in these menus at the very end of this Formative activity.
