Module Introduction: Sketchup is an awesome free tool that allows users to create 3D models and save them to share. We will begin to use this software to help us understand how 3D modeling works and to expand on our design skills. Please feel free to use the resources given as well as other reputable sources to not only complete the assignments given but to allow a better familiarization with the content.
