About

This channel is dedicated to bringing valuable SketchUp lessons and tutorials to help people have fun with 3D modeling! I started using SketchUp a few years ago while working at a general contracting company. I had used other 3d modeling programs in the past, and SketchUp immediately made an impact on me with its ease of use and its “fun factor.” While using other programs was a bit of a drag, everything I made in SketchUp was a lot more fun. I started modeling things just for fun in my free time. I’d see a building that I liked and try to draw it in 3d, or I’d create a model of my living room so my wife could see what it would look like in different colors. Whenever I’m modeling in SketchUp, the possibilities just feel endless! Interested in Becoming a Sponsor and Sharing Your Brand With My Viewers? Reach out to me here or via email!
