Save the date for 3D Basecamp 2012

If you sometimes try to orbit the spreadsheet you’re working on, you’re one of us. If the phrase “Follow Me that profile along this edge” makes sense to you, you’re one of us. If building a model is easily the best part of your workday, you’re one of us. We’re people who really, really like SketchUp, and every couple of years, we get together to meet, learn and be inspired.

The fourth-ever SketchUp 3D Basecamp is scheduled for October 15, 16 and 17 of this year. It’s happening in our hometown of Boulder, Colorado, and everyone’s invited. We haven’t ironed out all of the details yet, but we thought we’d let you know so you can mark your calendar. It’s the most fun you’ll have this year.

New Getting Started Videos for SketchUp

Our Official Training Videos have been responsible for teaching literally millions of people to use SketchUp. Concepts of SketchUp, the first video in the old series, has been viewed over 7 million times. Collectively, people have spent something like 40 years watching that video. That’s a lot of popcorn.

As popular as they were, our old videos were getting a little long in the tooth; they showed SketchUp 6. We decided that they should be remade, so we locked Tyson in a closet with a computer and a pile of army rations. It worked—our new training videos are not only current, they’re gorgeous. With Tyson’s scripts and visuals (and Alex’s melodious narration), getting started with SketchUp has never been easier. Here they are, in order:

One more thing: We didn’t stop at the videos. We gave the whole SketchUpVideo YouTube Channel a facelift. With helpful navigation menus in the upper-left corner, a new masthead and a big, blue Download button right at the top, SketchUp’s home on the world’s biggest video sharing site is now a whole lot lovelier. Pop on over when you get a chance.
