Customer Reviews
Great for beginners!
Teaches you great tricks and how to more effectively use the tools rather than just telling what the tools do. This is the third show on sketchup that I've watched so far, and found that I picked up bites and pieces of very useful info to better use sketchup.
Awesome Podcast
This is the best podcast out there! Thank you Harwood Productions! You rock!!!
Finally!
I've been looking high and low for a show like this! You would think Sketchup podcasts would be common, but this is one of the few I've found. Great host and great training for anyone just starting out with Sketchup, such as myself. Highly recommended!
