Customer comments on this selection.
 Sheer genius
Incredibly helpful practical techniques. Don't even need to read the book, just watch the videos and you're good to go.
 Needs to be updated
Yes, you can still learn of lot from this book, as noted in the other reviews. But it is now showing its age. This book was written for Sketchup 4.0 when only a time-limited trial was available for free. Sketchup is now at version 6.0 and free from Google (except for the pro version). The advice in this book on how to squeeze a tutorial session into a time-limited trial is just distracting. More importantly, you will not be introduced to the new features in 6.0, such as styles and better organization of model structure. It would be very useful to have Dennis Fukai's advice on how best to use Sketchup 6.0.
Incredably helpful
When the book/CD came I had problems getting the CD to work Didn't know if it was me or the CD or my PC. I contacted Mr.Fukai and he e-mailed me back immediatly. He stayed with me through a dozen Emails trying to help me.
br /The CD was bad BTW and he had his wife send me out a new one that worked just fine.
br /I was a bit exhausted from it all by the time the CD came but stuff happens to the best of us.
br /The CD is incredably helpful along with the book of illustrations. I haven't gotten through even half of it due to my work load but I'm sure when I continue with it I won't have much trouble in spite of being PC challenged.
br /Mr.Fukai I think has this book geared for people like myself as well as hard core PC users.
br /He seems to be doing his best to take you through it one step at a time slowly and deliberate.
br /I highly recommend this book/CD
Outstanding.....................
The book is awsome! The instructions are so detailed and outlined. I plan on building my own family home, this is the Book!

br /As for the author, a master of his craft!
br /
br /Mr. Fukai and Mrs. Babara Fukai, You have both left a wonderful lasting memory in my mind!

br /Thanks You

Great Way to Learn SketchUp
I am sure if you are a Google fan you now know that they offer SketchUp for free. Dr. Fukai's book assumed you had a limited amount of time (480 minutes) using the SketchUp 4.0 trial version included with his book. I can say that his book is truly one fantastic way to learn a lot about the details of modeling with SketchUp. Dr. Fukai's interactive "shorties" allows you to go over as often as needed to learn the details of this 3D software. I was having some difficulty part way through the tutorials and emailed Dr. Fukai and received detailed instructions on how to proceed. He is an excellent teacher and his book is highly recommended.
