The author tells you which tools to use, but not how to apply them. The book is more of an outline than a set of educational exercises or instructions. I’m finding Sketchup’s help system significantly more useful.
Rating: 2 / 5
The author states that the Dimention tool is so simple to use it doesn’t need much of an explanation. He is wrong. It needs a chapter! One written with more detail and clarity than the rest of the book. If I could send it back for a refund I would.

Sketchup is a lot of fun and this book provides the methods that are not immediately obvious and makes this application even more satisfying.

I was new to SketchUp. And this book helped a lot. I learned things that weren’t mentioned in video and other tutorials.
Also, it was easy to read.
Rating: 4 / 5
THIS BOOK WAS EASY TO READ AND UNDERSTAND. THE AUTHOR WAS TOTALY HONEST, HE TALKED ABOUT THE STUFF HE KNEW, SPREAD OUT THE PRINCIPLES IN EASY TO UNDERSTAND CHUNKS, IF THE AUTHOR DID NOT KNOW SOMETHING, HE SAID SO, GAVE REFERENCES TO FIND OUT FOR ONES SELF.
IMHO, A PERFECT BOOK TO START WITH, ’10′, I NOW HAVE A PRETTY GOOD UNDERSTANDING OF GOOGLE SKETCH UP.
BECAUSE OF THIS BOOK, I WANT TO LEARN MORE ABOUT SKETCH UP.
I HONESTLY CAN’T THINK OF ANY NEGATIVES,
easy to read,
proper cartoons
good quality paper
no jesus stuff
good basic primer on the subject
price seems fair
great tips and tricks
good sense of ‘oops’ and how to fix them
the type was little bigger, made for less straining to read
the book was bound well, did not split any pages, I carried this book everywhere,
might want to include an interactive dvd, show something, then let the reader copy the action
also, might consider a coupon for a discount on the pro 6, I would take avantage of this offer
