Where are the Sketchup Tutorials?

To help you on your discovery of Google Sketchup there will be self paced tutorials in your MSCC folder.

Where is this folder I hear you say?







To find them, open “My Computer”, then you will see your MSCC folder. Inside you will find a folder called “Sketchup 6”, and inside are the tutorials. You also have links to the MSCC website and our Blog.








This week we will be looking at the first 2 tutorials, "Intro into Sketchup" and "Start Drawing part 1"

30th April - Google Sketchup

So today is the beginning of our new project. The program you will be using is called Google Sketchup. Google Sketchup is a powerful tool for creating, viewing, and modifying 3D ideas quickly and easily.

To get started, create a shortcut of Google Sketchup on your desktop. Now we can begin!!

By the end of today’s session, hopefully you would have created the following:

1) A rectangle/square abstract art sculpture.






2) A basic house shape.









Remember to save your work each time, save the first one as “Art” and the second as “House 1

Have fun.
