Instructions
Sign in at SketchUp for Schools.

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.
