Between Bob’s DVDs and the Grover book, I have been making rapid progress at learning SketchUp at last. ![]() Additionally, I bought the book Google SketchUp: The Missing Manualby Chris Grover.

It is very useful.įor those of you wanting to learn to use SketchUp for furniture making, I highly recommend buying Bob Lang’s two DVDs. I’m happy to report, that after taking Bob Lang’s SketchUp seminar at WIA, and then practicing at home using Bob’s SketchUp DVDs, I’m now successfully using SketchUp to design furniture. After all, I deal with technology all day and I ought to be able to learn to design using this program. ![]() This year, prior to going to WIA last month, I became determined to learn SketchUp and fight may way through my hangups. To do SketchUp right, it takes some practice. This hidden power makes the program LOOK much simpler to use than it really is. The program is far more powerful than it looks, and there are a myriad of tiny details and tricks that are hidden from the user.
