Fun fact: Every major update to SketchUp has a different scale figure, and each figure is based on a real person who’s a member of the SketchUp team. In SketchUp Pro 2020, Laura greets you. Yes, if you like, you may talk to Laura (or yourself) while modeling. No one will look at you strangely. We promise.

One benefit of SketchUp for Web is that you don’t have to remember where things are. For most of the tools we reference throughout this book, you can simply use the Search tool to find and activate them. For example, let’s say you can’t remember which tool you’d use to measure the height of a wall. As you can see in Figure 1-3, if you search for Measure, Search returns all relevant results — in this case, the Tape Measure and Dimensions tools. So you don’t need to remember where a tool is, and you barely have to remember what it’s called.

If you’re not sure you want to buy SketchUp, know that you will still pick up a ton of knowledge using just the free web version. In fact, we recommend using SketchUp for free before deciding to purchase. If you start with the free version, know that as you poke around SketchUp for Web, you may run into a few tools that are available only if you purchase a subscription. You need to upgrade to a different version if you want to use one of these features.
