First you have to understand that Sketchup is actually a 3D sketching product, not a real CAD Program.
Yes it’s very powerful, easy to use, loved by everyone, but it’s smirky, it does mistakes, its drawings are not perfect and can be called just a sketch and NOT a REAL 3D Model.
Sketch up is used by woodworkers around the world, and has actually a great furniture and do it yourself projects in its library downloadable for free (from inside the Wherehouse button)
It’s also used by Architects, kids, 3D Printing Service Centers and even DIY enthusiasts.
It’s a program for all of you guys who do not want to buy those expensive CAD Products
and still be able to design for free, some other great programs in the market are :Blender,etc…
My Advice to you is to start downloading models and figure out how they are assembled together that could get you started on how to design similar objects.
of course first you’d need to figure out the main SketchUP commands but that won’t take long.
GOOD LUCK 🙂
