Chapter 17. Ten Ways to Discover Even More
In This Chapter
Checking out some great, free SketchUp information
Discovering other helpful resources
Don't get me wrong — it's not that I think this book is woefully incomplete. It's just that I don't think it's possible to get too many different forms of information, especially about something as dynamic as SketchUp. You can find some great help resources out there, and I'd be remiss if I didn't point you to some of them.
The first half of this chapter is devoted to the free stuff; it's all online and it's all available to anyone who wants it. In the second half of the chapter, I list some of the best nonfree SketchUp resources I know of. If you're willing to shell out a few bucks, you won't be sorry — nothing beats seeing the same information presented in different ways.
Note
Incidentally, this is probably a good place to mention the dozens of free videos that I produced to accompany this book. You can link to them from this book's Web site (www.dummies.com/go/sketchupfd), but you can also get to them directly on YouTube. To hear my (surprisingly Muppet-like) voice while I put SketchUp through its paces, check out www.youtube.com/aidanchopra.
Put Away Your Wallet
I have a confession to make: At fancy receptions, I'm the one stuffing my suit pockets with hors d'oeuvres wrapped in napkins. I love free stuff that much. So without further ado, what follows are six complimentary sources of SketchUp help.
