 Great for Sketchup beginner/intermediate users November 30, 2008
I started using sketchup for the past 6 months to illustrate and study my designs before having to make final models. I purchased this book with a knowledge base of the program so it was not a "break-through" guide that it might be to someone else. In any case, this book is a clear guide to this program and what's even better is that the author provides free guided videos on Youtube.com to further assist this book.
This book won't reveal any special tricks or teach expert methods if there are any, but it should definitely be read for any users of sketchup who want to solidify their knowledge base of Sketchup. The only reason I left one star out is because it was as "in-depth" as I hoped~

This book helped me to understand the concepts around the Sketchup software. Although I am still doing the tutorials I have been able to model the greenhouse I am building.
SketchUp for Dummies November 6, 2008
Google SketchUp for Dummies is one of the best references I've seen for any software help. Author explains complex 3D concepts in layman terms almost anyone can understand. Practice using his guidance and you'll be amazed at what you can build in SketchUp. Keep this book handy...you'll wonder how you did without it!
Google Sketchup for Dummies Manual October 31, 2008
As an experienced AutoCAD user needing to learn SketchUp I found the book to be well organized and well written. The author knows the software and in addition to explaining how to perform tasks, he points out common reasons people get undesireable results. I am very pleased with my purchase.
REVIEW FOR GOOGLE SKETCH UP FOR DUMMIES September 7, 2008
0 out of 1 found this review helpful
THIS BOOK WAS EASY TO READ AND UNDERSTAND. THE AUTHOR WAS TOTALY HONEST, HE TALKED ABOUT THE STUFF HE KNEW, SPREAD OUT THE PRINCIPLES IN EASY TO UNDERSTAND CHUNKS, IF THE AUTHOR DID NOT KNOW SOMETHING, HE SAID SO, GAVE REFERENCES TO FIND OUT FOR ONES SELF.
IMHO, A PERFECT BOOK TO START WITH, '10', I NOW HAVE A PRETTY GOOD UNDERSTANDING OF GOOGLE SKETCH UP.
BECAUSE OF THIS BOOK, I WANT TO LEARN MORE ABOUT SKETCH UP.
I HONESTLY CAN'T THINK OF ANY NEGATIVES,
easy to read,
proper cartoons
good quality paper
no jesus stuff
good basic primer on the subject
price seems fair
great tips and tricks
good sense of 'oops' and how to fix them
the type was little bigger, made for less straining to read
the book was bound well, did not split any pages, I carried this book everywhere,
might want to include an interactive dvd, show something, then let the reader copy the action
also, might consider a coupon for a discount on the pro 6, I would take avantage of this offer
