Tips
and Tricks:
- take one
lesson to explore the whole toolbar with your students. Point
out the bits that you know and encourage them to experiment
with other features. It really is easy.
- Explore some of the video tutorials.
- Show some Youtube videos of the really amazing stuff you can
create.

that have already been created by the Sketchup online community.

of the model.
