Google SketchUp: plan and design furniture yourself

• If you are using the SketchUp for the first time, you will find a photo gallery here.
• To make it clearer, we recommend that you create a group from each part. This allows you to move the objects quickly and easily.
• You should create a component from repeatedly used elements. In this way, changes for all elements are transferred.
• To check whether the pieces of furniture also fit into your apartment, you should try out and use the 3D warehouse.
• If you have several floors in your house, we recommend that you create a single file for each floor. This makes working clearer.
• Tip: If you would like to have the overall view of several files from your house, you can simply combine the files and open them in one file.
• For a perfect overview in complex models or to show several components, you should use layers.
• If you want to use templates, you will find many interesting websites with templates here.
