Product Description
Google SketchUp for Site Design illustrates a holistic approach to SketchUp: how it works and more importantly, what to do with it. Filled with tutorials from front to back, the book focuses on the start and completion of projects that include rich detail and expression. Each part and chapter of the book builds on the previous chapters and tutorial. You will learn how to approach modeling site plans, buildings and site elements: from modeling each of these exterior environment elements to piecing them together to generate a singular and expressive model. The book culminates with tutorials demonstrating effective and simple ways to include grades and terrain using the Sandbox tools and how best to integrate the entire approach with AutoCAD and SketchUp. Also included are links to supplemental on-line resources such as YouTube tutorials and free tutorial and example models from 3D Warehouse. The book is useful for all SketchUp proficiency levels including beginners, hobbyists, and professionals.

 Outstanding Sketchup tutorial July 9, 2010
Steve Henrichs (Los Angeles, CA United States)

The author's qualifications as both a practicing architect and an expert Sketchup user make this an outstanding tutorial, with a wealth of practical advice on both the craft of site planning and the ins and outs of Sketchup. The exercises themselves are real-world examples that touch on all the relevant features of the applicatiion. The presentation as a Kindle book makes it possible to keep the book open on a separate screen while working through the exercises.
Great book for a beginner June 27, 2010

Google sketchup rocks! This book is probably the best one I've used. I just learned how to use sketchup for urban planning concept display. The book is easy to understand and it provides excellent tutorials, workflow methodologies, and places to download free Ruby scripts to enhance your Google Sketchup. I'm currently using the Pro version (not the free version) and am very pleased that I can design rich 3-D graphics and animations for the public to view.
I highly recommend this book if you are in the site plan, architectural, and planning profession. This book is good for anyone else who wants to learn Google Sketchup!

Helpful for Sketchup! May 18, 2010

This book certainly provided an excellent approach to both basic and complex Sketchup modeling. While I had used Sketchup before in school, it was on a limited and unorganized basis. For my current work, Google Sketchup for Site Design helped me to understand how to be much more efficient and effective with a greater understanding of Sketchup's tools and organization. Plus, the online downloads that go along with the book tutorials were very helpful for checking my models as I worked through the exercises. No matter your current proficiency with Sketchup, this book will be very helpful and should be included as part of your library.
 Tutorials are worthless May 18, 2010

The tutorials are worthless, unless you are already a sketchup expert, in which case you don't need the book! I gave up on the first tutorial after a few steps because I had to look up how to perform most of the actions using the sketchup online documentation. So what's the point of the book? Some nice models? I can get those for free on the web.
 Great reading April 23, 2010

This is a great first experience read and work book for landscape architecture students who are willing to explore.
