Re: SketchUp for Builders and Remodelers: Build a Virtual Lumber Yard
I have been using Sketch-up since version 3.0 and it is a fantastic tool. The pro version with plugins (Podium being one) can produce almost photo realistic renderings.
posted: 10:22 am on May 17thIt should take no more than a half day to learn the basics. There are a couple of books on how to use Sketch-up.
Sketch-up for Dummies and Google Sketch-up & Sketchup Pro 7 are available from Amazon.
Last point is how much fun this program is to use. Everyone I have turned the program on to loves it.
