Sketchup (formerly Google Sketchup) is 3D modeling software that is easy to use and provides a large database of user-created models for download. You can use it to sketch (or import) models to help with all sorts of projects: furniture making, video game creation, 3D printing, interior design, and whatever else you can think of.

If you’ve followed my SketchUp career, you know that I’ve used SketchUp to design and build all kinds of projects: kitchen and bath remodels, 3D prints, CNC contraptions, even arduino-based electronics. But you don’t need to model a circuit board to harness the power of SketchUp. More often than not, I get the most out of SketchUp when I focus on simple problems.

In woodworking, there’s a sound, logical sequence of steps you need to take from start to finish. It’s the same in SketchUp, so work in SketchUp the way you would in the shop: define the steps and sequence you need before you begin modeling.

You've got the talent to land a top job in 3D, but so do a lot of people. Sometimes the deciding factor in who gets the most exciting jobs isn't how great your 3D art is, but how good you are at telling people about it.
