Welcome to this short introduction to SketchUp!
In this mini-course, you'll spend just 30 minutes recreating the design classic Ulmer Hocker in the free, browser-based 3D software SketchUp. If you have no previous experience with the program, this is the right introduction for you.

We'll go over the most important basic functions (line, rectangle, circle, push-pull, guides, angles, move, copy), directly build the parts as groups or components and give the furniture an appealing presentation. In short: after this quick tutorial you will know the basics and you can decide whether you like working with SketchUp and want to go deeper into the subject.

So that it doesn't get boring and you see results right away, everything is based on learning by doing - so we won't spend a lot of time on theory, but we will draw our first object together.

What do you need?

the free version of SketchUp (we'll go through it together to sign up)
a computer with internet connection and a current browser (Firefox, Edge, Chrome … )
a mouse makes drawing so much easier! Optimal is a 3-button mouse with clickable mouse wheel
working with a second screen is more comfortable, but if you use only one screen, it makes sense to work with two browser windows side by side)
If you've always wanted to work with SketchUp, or if you want to refresh your skills with the free, web-based version of SketchUp, then join this short tutorial.
