Navigating SketchUp for Web

SketchUp for Web looks and works a lot like SketchUp for Desktop with just a few differences. When you first open SketchUp for Web you'll see the Home screen.

From the Home screen you can:

1. Access Trimble Connect.
2. Create a new model or import a locally saved model.
3. Choose from a list of recently opened models.
4. See SketchUp's About information.
5. Access your Trimble account information and manage app settings.

After opening a model, SketchUp for Web's modeling interface contains all the tools and options you need to create 3D models. Let's take a tour:

1. Main Menu Bar - Includes the Main Menu (), the name of your model, SketchUp AI (), Undo (), Redo (), and the save status of your model.
2. Main Toolbar - The Main Toolbar contains the basic tools you need to get started.
3. Expanded Toolset - The Expanded Toolset is home to all of your other SketchUp tools.

   • The Measurements box
5. Panels - Each panel represents a different group of options to help you take your model to the next level. We'll cover the panels available in SketchUp for Web in Creating and Editing Models .
