Before I started Art and Design, I knew absolutely nothing about SketchUp. In this class, I started learning more about how to use SketchUp starting with the basics of how to orbit and how to zoom in/out. I also learned how to draw simple 2D shapes like circles and rectangles. Along with learning how to draw simple shapes, I learned how to then make those shapes 3D by pulling them out and how to cut out shapes in a chair all by using the push/pull tool. I also learned how to make guides using the measuring tool and how to enter in dimensions, which is something I will need to know in the long run. The most important thing that I learned how to do was turning objects. I know I will be using this a lot and having to flip a chair upside down on top of the table helped me understand how each axis worked.
