Introduction to Google sketchup

Sketchup is free 3D modeler. You can download  the program here. You can draw in computer shape that have width, leght, and deepth.  Introduction of Google sketchup is important because if we familiarize with another program 2 D, google sketchup is different.

Before I learn about sketchup, I usually use corel draw to draw 2 dimention. Now I know there are different concept about corel draw and sketchup.

I think the main important is: in corel draw, if we rest one shape to another shape. It is still 2 shape. In sketchup, it is not shape but jointed lines.
