What is SketchUcation?

SketchUp is creative and user friendly 3d modeling softwarethat is used by interior designers, architects, mechanical and civil engineersandmakers of video games for the creation of 3d models. This 3d modeling software has solved the problems of many people by providing friendly usability and a wide array of SketchUcation Tools. Free version of the software is available for a limited period of time, though this free version can be upgraded to paid version at any time. Whenever one is creating 3d models for various assignments and projects, one needs to convert 2d drawings into the sets that may get the point across and to build models based on those drawings. This has been made possible by this software which has a number of SketchUcation Tools to offer. One can easily create 3d models by just drawing the lines which are then pulled and pushed to convert them into 3d forms. SketchUp provides the freedom of manipulation where the 3d models can be painted, rotated, copied and/or stretched as one wishes. A LayOut feature of SketchUp allows the user to choose drawing scales, add model outlooks to pages, and add dimensions and graphics.
