Wiley Publishing has released a new SketchUp for Dummies book to explore the new SkechUp 7 version. According to Wiley's description with this book you will "start creating models right away" and you can learn to:

• Set up SketchUp, learn about edges and faces, use inferences and guides, and build your first model
• Establish a basic end-to-end workflow for creating and sharing models
• Model non-boxy objects like terrain, characters, bottles, and spheres
• Add details like stairs, gutters, and eaves
• Spruce up your models with styles and shadows to add effects, make objects pop, and enhance realism
• Use the LayOut function to draw with vector tools, add text and callouts, and print your work
• Design buildings and objects, export your models to other design programs or to Google Earth, and explore 3D animation

There are some new sections on the book compared to the previous release covering new features and previously omitted tools:

• a brand new section on the Sandbox tools
• a brand new section on modeling organic shapes with the Scale, Push/Pull, and Follow Me tools
• a brand new section on Dynamic Components, including how to use them and how to create them
• coverage of the new photomodeling tools
• a revised chapter on LayOut 2
