Version taught is a higher version of the free version I have installed.

The basics, very well explained
By Kristin Bolstad on 11/15/2020
This version of Sketchup is not current
By Rosaleen Kavanagh on 9/27/2020
I can't get the right sketchup to match. I guess it's an older version on here.
By Walter Steeb on 9/14/2020
Very easy to do.
By Jane on 8/27/2020

By Jay Stracke on 7/27/2020
I enjoyed the course and watched it all in one sitting.

It is a great course to learn basics. I'd appreciate if I got solutions to my problems
By Kathleen Zane Goyak on 6/19/2020
Music is very distracting, as is beeping of mouse clicks. Explanations are presented too quickly and are confusing.
By KAREN Boness on 6/11/2020
Doesn't explain tool selections well. For example, you can enter dimensions for a new square, but how do you get the curser to the dimensions block and not lose the object you selected. Hard to see what the instructor is doing sometimes, like building the roof with the triangle. How did you create that triangle in the right plane? Not easy to see. I learned some good features about Sketchup but glad I didn't pay more that $10.
By Richard Davis on 5/18/2020
The course uses SketchUp 2016 and if you use a recent version, most things look different. For example, the crayon colour does not exist and I had to find the materials pallet to continue.
By Sonja on 5/12/2020
It's good, but the Sketchup software for download is not the same for the free web base software.
