CAD Lessons
CAD normally requires special software. We will be using a new program called
SketchUp. SketchUp is a simplified CAD program
that we will use to teach you some CAD skills.
It might be slightly different on Windows than the Mac.– SketchUp is a free download from Google.– You can try it at home if you like.– No one program does everything a good CAD
program can do.

Tomorrow we will start our first assignment.
Please be patient. These will be new for all of us.
