SketchUp 2014 For Dummies

Chapter 17

Ten Ways to Discover Even More

In This Chapter

Checking out some great, free SketchUp information

Discovering other helpful, paid resources

Don’t get me wrong — I don’t think this book is woefully incomplete. I just don’t think it’s possible to get too many different forms of information, especially about something as dynamic as SketchUp. Some great help resources are available, and I’d be remiss if I didn’t point you to them.

I devote the first half of this chapter to the free stuff; it’s all online and 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.

Incidentally, this is probably a good place to mention the dozens of free videos that accompany this book. You can link to them from this book’s Web Extras page (www.dummies.com/extras/sketchup2014), 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/user/aidanchopra.
