You have the menu bar at the top of the page.

SketchUp has a few different areas you’re going to want to know about. I’ll give you a real quick orientation of your workspace. Whatever your default model is, you can click on this model and hit the “delete” key on your keyboard to remove it. Now whenever you open up a new model, a lot of these templates come with a default model – in my case, I have mine set to a model of myself and Bonnie, one of my border collies. Click on that and click the “Start Using SketchUp” option. There’s a built in template you can select called woodworking – inches.

Your template affects things like the units in your model, the way everything looks, and a lot of other things. When you first open up SketchUp, you’ll get a window that allows you to set your template. To start off, getting your units set up properly is probably more important for woodworkers than for any other use in SketchUp because small measurements are so important I’ll also teach you the basics of creating shapes using both the rectangle and line tools, as well as how to use the push pull tool to create 3D shapes. In this video, I’ll teach you how to navigate around in a model. This is the first of several of those tutorials. I wanted to create a series of SketchUp tutorials designed to help woodworkers get started using SketchUp. SketchUp Woodworking Tutorial for Beginners – Part 1
