SketchUp Campus is Trimble's own school for its modeller, free to enter with a Trimble ID. The Fundamentals track covers push pull modelling, groups and components, dimensioning and LayOut sheets, which is precisely the kit needed to turn a table idea into a drawing with numbers on it. Courses end with a graded assessment and a badge. SketchUp Free, the browser version, costs nothing for personal use, so the software and the lessons can sit side by side on the same laptop.
Made for people who want cut lists and measured drawings rather than glossy renders. It teaches software, not ergonomics, joinery history or the reasoning behind a curve. The free web edition has no extensions and a short list of export formats, so plugin heavy work eventually pushes towards a paid plan.
