How to Use Sketch-Up Step by Step
My goal for this tutorial on SketchUp is to give you an overview of how it works, how you can use it, and some step-by-step instructions if you’ve never used it before. These are the essentials you’ll need to know to design your own woodworking project plans! My recommendation for learning SketchUp the easiest way would be to open two tabs, one of this tutorial video, and one of SketchUp so you can switch back and forth between pages to apply what you learn!
