Creating ideas three dimensionally!

Israeli author Yael Kedem owns the SketchUp Center in Israel and as a practiced interior designer she uses her company to promote the SketchUp software. THE COMPLETE GUIDE TO SKETCHUP PRO is her debut publication.

The SketchUp Pro website is well worth a visit prior to reading Yael’s fine book: the imagery on that site offers the beginner a visual additive to appreciating her impressive book. As Yael defines SketchUp: ‘SketchUp is open 3D software with a graphic concept. It was designed for architects, designers, carpenters, civilian, moviemakers, computer games programmers and related professions. It’s easy to learn because of its use of a mouse and because it is intuitive. The free form of building a model with this program simulates as much as possible sketching on paper and does not require exact numerical data or scaling of one kind or another. The output of models made with SketchUp can be presented in various ways, including computer printouts, images that have been refined with rendering software, a short film that illustrates the space exactly and realistically, and even 3D printing. SketchUp is designed also for people with no experience in three dimensions.’

This is a remarkably interesting book for novices – an invitation into the contemporary world of design – and for the audience for which the book is intended it is a very well designed guidebook into mastering the skills of 3D modeling. The use of illustrations is exceptional: images of the Large Tool Set and the Dynamic components define the words used later on with symbols present throughout the instructions. Each step of the process of mastering the use of SketchUp is clearly explained and demonstrated with graphics from the onset – how to access the program on the computer and all the steps needed to utilize the amazing aspects of this program – through detailed instructions on modeling to final presentation techniques.

Yael Kedem’s guide to SketchUp Pro is complete, easy to read, and makes this new program completely accessible – even for those of us not in a related field. Fascinating and rewarding, this is what the future looks like!
