Technical requirements

For this chapter, we will be using Solid Tools in SketchUp for Web. This means access to SketchUp for Web with a SketchUp Go or Pro subscription. You will also need an image to model from. To follow along with a picture of your own or someone else’s, a head in profile will work best.

Additionally, there is an example file for this chapter, 3D Printing with SketchUp Chapter 6 – Trophy.skp, available at https://3dwarehouse.sketchup.com/model/1151463b-05c5-44d5-9b03-67165bcb8f93/3D-Printing-with-SketchUp-Chapter-6-Trophy.
