A Letter to the Desk of the Editor

Hello folks! Hope that you all are having a nice time. Tell me your
plans for the coming New Year! Are you preparing for a holiday or
will have some nice time with family? But wherever you go or
whatever you do don’t forget to take a copy of Sketchup ur
Space. Anyway, lets we start to know the November issue of
Sketchup ur Space.

First of all, we must give Google a standing applause to try to
make SketchUp more popular. Their project ‘Make Idea Real’ is a
great platform for all of the SketchUp artists. Google takes a
step ahead to support the 3D artists by showcasing their works
and stories. Getting recognition from Google is a real boost up for
any of them.

We all know that books are very important part of our life in this
time of the Internet, iPad, Kindle and many other technologies.
When a person wants to learn SketchUp only video tutorials are
not enough. He must know the core and basis of the designing
tool. And for this reason books are the most important
ingredients of learning. There are many books on SketchUp. We
help you to choose the right book for you. Apart from it, there
are blogs, tips and tricks, tutorials, news and many more things.
Columns of Jim Leggitt, Nomer Adona, Jonathan Pagaduan Ignas,
John Clemons, Zernan Suarez and Bharath Musunuri add sparkle
to the November issue of Sketchup ur Space.

A
book is like a friend, a philosopher and a guide.
Books are not only a treasure of information; you
can get a proper guidance from it. And it is true in
case of learning SketchUp. You can get valuable
information, guidance not only in the field of study
but also for your hobby. In the age of internet
books don’t lose its value. Still it is being
considered as the greatest friend of a human
being. It is true in the case of our favorite 3D
designing tool; SketchUp. There are many books
available which help you to learn the 3D tool step
by step, to get tips and to get proper guidance.
Among all the books the most recognized and
promising book is ‘Google SketchUp 8 for Dummies’
by Aidan Chopra. The previous book of this line
‘Google SketchUp for Dummies’ proved as a
favorite among all budding designers. Another book
from the same author ‘Introduction to Google
SketchUp’ is still selling like hot cake. There are
many other writers with their masterpieces who
excavate into the world of SketchUp and try to
give some nice information, guidance and tutorial.

Here we will discuss some books on SketchUp and
their writers.
Aidan Chopra: The Product Evangelist of Google
SketchUp wrote three books for SketchUp. These
are; ‘Google SketchUp for Dummies’, ‘Introduction
to Google SketchUp’ and Google SketchUp 8 for
Dummies’. In his book ‘Google SketchUp for
Dummies’ he lends a helping hand to the new people
in this field. He describes the features, tools and
usage in a fun filled and easy way which makes the
book a nice place to start to model in SketchUp. In
this book he showed how the designing tool find its
niche in the sector of architecture, landscape
designing, real estate development, furniture
designing and other professional designing.
