This book appears to be a rushed warmed-over edition for a prior version of the software. I purchased this book to learn how to use the important new features of Google SketchUp 7.

Want to learn how to build Dynamic Components? Forget it -- the chapter devoted to DCs is nothing more than a few explanations of the DC dialog boxes -- no real-world help whatsoever.

Ready to dig into Ruby scripting? Don't bring your shovel -- the short Appendix on the topic shows you how to open the Ruby Console -- Whoop-dee-do! No gems to be found there!

Maybe you want to create some great UIs using the Webdialog box? No dialogs here -- the Index doesn't even list the word!

If this book is supposed to be the "Bible" on Google SketchUp then it's missing the New Testament!

Here's a Revelation -- don't waste your time or money on this book!

Everything Uncle Brian said plus:
typeface is printed in a light gray-almost impossible to read except in extremly bright light (my eyes aren't that bad...).

This book could NOT be considered the Bible for Google's Sketchup. I have used other 2D and 3D software including Autocad and it's many versions.

In order for this to be a bible it must have stories about Jesus's life in the new testament and Mosses parting the Red Sea in the old Testament.

I only found 2 or 3 "tutorials" in the entire book. Use this book more like a "Dictionary" than a Learn Sketchup book.

want to design something, get this book. it is free from google and easy to use
