Customer Rating:  
Summary: Barely useful
Comment: The author tells you which tools to use, but not how to apply them. The book is more of an outline than a set of educational exercises or instructions. I'm finding Sketchup's help system significantly more useful.

Summary: Sketchup
Comment: Like all "Dummies" books this is an invaluable reference work for a complex subject. This book is helpful for a beginner, just discovering "Sketchup" and also for a frequent user, needing a helping hand.

Summary: Essential for Someone New to Sketchup
Comment: Chopra has written an excellent book. Good sense of humor, easy to understand, practical and well organized. Some of the "For Dummies" books are a little too cute. The writing style gets in the way of the information. That is not the case with Chopra's book. His humor and personality make the subject interesting. I am a beginner with Sketchup, but I think more advanced users will benefit from this book too because of the way the book is organized and the depth of the information. The book works as a reference as well as a collection of tutorials.

Summary: Google SketchUp for Dummies
Comment: I was new to SketchUp. And this book helped a lot. I learned things that weren't mentioned in video and other tutorials.
Also, it was easy to read.

Summary: A Great Buy!!!
Comment: I have no background in CAD programs at all and my attempts to master SketchUp were futile until I purchased this book. Within a couple of hours I was able to draw a simple building. It's a great book! I thought so much of it, I bought a second copy for my son!

Editorial Reviews:
|
- Considerably easier to use than other 3D software, Google SketchUp has found a niche in architecture, landscaping, real estate development, furniture building, and other design professions
- The fun and friendly approach assumes no previous 3D modeling experience and explains the basic concepts involved in 3D modeling
- Shows readers how to build a 3D model, print it, share it, export it to another professional design package, export it to Google Earth, and create a 3D animated tour
- Helps readers harness the power of Google SketchUp so that they can populate Google Earth with 3D buildings, monuments, and other sculptures
