SketchUp Advanced Training
Description:
Learn how to create more compelling 3D graphics using the advanced features in SketchUp Pro. Sketchup Advanced Training introduces solid modeling with the Boolean operations and Trim and Split, adding and manipulating cameras, and creating terrains from contours and from scratch. Then, dive into the new Dynamic Components, SketchUp’s most powerful feature, which can add motion and interactivity to a model. Lastly, explore two companion apps (LayOut, for creating documents featuring SketchUp models, and Style Builder, for creating custom styles) and reviews the plugins available through the Extension Warehouse
