Every SketchUp model is made up of just two things: edges and
faces. Edges are straight lines, and faces are the 2D shapes
that are created when several edges form a flat loop. For
example, a rectangular face is bound by four edges that are
connected together at right angles. To build models in SketchUp,
you draw edges and faces using a few simple tools that you can
learn in a small amount of time. It8217;s as simple as that.
Push/Pull: Quickly go from 2D to 3D Extrude any flat surface
into a three-dimensional form with SketchUp8217;s patented
Push/Pull tool. Just click to start extruding, move your mouse,
and click again to stop. You can Push/Pull a rectangle into a
box. Or draw the outline of a staircase and Push/Pull it into
3D. Want to make a window? Push/Pull a hole through your wall.
SketchUp is known for being easy to use, and Push/Pull is the
reason why. Accurate measurements: Work with precision SketchUp
is great for working fast and loose in 3D, but it8217;s more
than just a fancy electronic pencil.
