SketchUp for Beginners 2025

SketchUp for Beginners 2025 is a clear, practical guide for anyone who wants to turn ideas into 3D models without getting lost in complicated software.
Through step-by-step projects, you’ll learn how to use SketchUp to design rooms, simple buildings, furniture and DIY projects – even if you’ve never tried 3D design before. The book walks you through the 2025 interface, core tools and workflows in a logical order, so each chapter builds your confidence.
You’ll start with basic navigation and drawing tools, then move on to groups, components, materials, scenes and layout. Along the way, you’ll complete real projects that feel like mini–studio assignments rather than random exercises.
In this book you’ll learn how to:
• Navigate the SketchUp 2025 interface and set up your workspace
• Draw and edit walls, floors, openings, furniture and other 3D objects
• Organize your model with groups, components, tags and scenes
• Apply materials, colours and lighting to make your designs easier to read
• Create simple interior layouts and DIY projects from start to finish
• Export images and share your designs with clients, classmates or friends
Whether you’re a student, an aspiring interior designer, a DIY homeowner or a hobbyist who just wants to visualize ideas, SketchUp for Beginners 2025 gives you a hands-on path from zero to confident 3D modeling.
