SketchUp: Who Said Powerful Isn’t Easy?

Who said that powerful tools were complex and challenging to use for novice users?  As you may have read in my first article on “What’s Up Wakefield”, I showed you a list of the services and tools that Google had to offer.  Surely, you didn’t read that whole list, so you must have skimmed by SketchUp.  But let’s take an in-depth look at this specific tool that Google has created.

Google SketchUp is a 3D modeling tool designed for anyone who has an interest in designing virtually anything.  Users can build anything from a house to a car.  The possibilities are endless!  So why use SketchUp?  Well, there are two versions of SketchUp.  One is free and the other version costs $495.  I suggest using the free one, just to see if you like it.  Also, why design your dream home or other blueprint on Paint?  All you’ll see is a bird’s-eye-view.  With Google SketchUp, you can see your model virtually anywhere and at any angle.
