Google Sketchup

Google Sketchup,is a program that allows us to make 3D and sophisticated structures. For example a lot of people make the model of buildings using Google Sketchup, because it allows you to measure the distance or area more easily. After you make the outline of the structures, you can deign delicate structures like "inside" of the building. Skills the student will learn while completing this module **
