Getting Started With SketchUp | 3D Modeling

In these videos, I’m going to be giving you an introduction to one of my most used and versatile tools. It is a 3D modeling software called SketchUp.

Before I build anything, I first build it digitally in SketchUp. This not only saves time (because I can go into my shop with a detailed plan) but also saves on material because I can figure out any potential mistakes before I even make my first cut.

The learning curve can be a little frustrating if you are learning it on your own. So, the goal of these videos is to shorten the learning curve for you to get you going.

My videos are going to be geared towards woodworkers, but know that SketchUp has a ton of resource videos that I’ve linked below.

The first video gets you started by covering the main concepts, the basic tools and their functions:

In this second video, I model a basic woodworking project from scratch and apply the teachings from Video 1:

Hopefully these videos are helpful for you to get you started with modeling in SketchUp!
