To get the most out of this book
You will need a copy of SketchUp Pro installed on your Windows or macOS computer. All examples in this book were created using SketchUp 2022, but future versions should work as well. Later chapters mention LayOut, SketchUp Viewer, SketchUp for Web, and SketchUp for iPad, but they are all a part of a SketchUp Pro subscription (https://sketchup.com/plans-and-pricing).
There are also references throughout the book to files hosted on SketchUp’s online repositories. You will need an internet connection and a Trimble ID in order to take advantage of these resources.
The assumption of this book is that you have done basic learning about SketchUp (either through online training sessions, videos, or other books) and are ready to move from being a new user to an intermediate/advanced user.
