Opening SketchUp

First develop skills at using the different tools in SketchUp.

Open SketchUp. Select a template.

To work 2-D: If you want to make mosaic designs or other flat designs, select Plan View. There are two plan views. One that uses feet and inches to measure and one that uses metric measurements.

To work in 3-D: If you want to design a house, car, chair, or robot, select Simple Template, or Architectural Design, or Product Design. Again each of these comes with a metric or a feet and inches option.
