This clinic will introduce participants to the tools and features of Google SketchUp Pro 8, exploring the variety of innovative techniques the program offers and how they can be used to communicate ideas and information in a visually striking manner. Participants will see examples of how the program has been used in the creation of real exhibitions, and will then have the opportunity to practice using the tools by creating a model of their own. Advanced features of the program, such as Google Earth and LayOut, will also be introduced.
