t would be interesting to determine the number of great ideas that
started out as rough sketches on a restaurant napkin. If you’ve ever had
a brilliant idea, you know that they don’t always come at the most con-

venient times. When ideas come, you really need to quickly jot them down
and sketch them out or you’ll likely forget them before they can be captured.
and sketch them out or you’ll likely forget them before they can be captured.
Once an idea is captured on a napkin, a scrap of paper, or scratched into the
nightstand, the next step is to flesh out the idea into something more sub-
stantial. That is where SketchUp comes in. SketchUp is a program that
enables anyone, regardless of his or her drawing ability, to quickly and easily
create a realistic 3-D drawing. Finally, you can throw away that folder full of
napkins and paper scraps that is cluttering your desk.

Designing with SketchUp
SketchUp is quite unique compared to other graphics packages. It works
similarly to sketching your ideas on a simple piece of paper, which makes it
accessible to all users. I have sketched on my share of paper scraps, but it is
easier to keep them organized in SketchUp than littering my study. My wife
has learned not to throw out any papers that have odd scribbles on them no
matter how strange, but I still end up losing the most important scraps
unless I get them into my computer.
