Considerably easier to use than other 3D software, Google SketchUp has found a niche in architecture, landscaping, real estate development, furniture building, and other design professions.
The fun and friendly approach assumes no previous 3D modelling experience and explains the basic concepts involved in 3D modelling. It 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 helps readers harness the power of Google SketchUp so that they can popular Google Earth with 3D buildings, monuments, and other sculptures.
